Smaller enclosure, new art, gate toggle, addition of Gain pot for sculpting the saturation of the drive (disabled when gate is active), altered tone circuit. Small changes, but big difference in sound.
I've had both, and the Li'l Fella is just better for bass than the Demon in every way I can perceive. 18v makes a huge difference.
This is my new favorite Fuzzrocious pedal!
I don't think anything will beat my custom Cat Tail/Afterlife pedal, and that'll remain my favourite Fuzzrocious indefinitely - but this is almost certainly right behind them to round off the top 3 already!
I've owned a Demon, Demon King, BDPG, Ram The Manparts, as well as standalone Rat Tail and Afterlifes, so I've definitely spent a fair bit of time with a few of Ryan's builds. The LF is just something very special.
18v, low drive, high gain, tone around noon (give or take) Is my favourite bass setting so far. I haven't found any way of turning the knobs that I don't like the sound of for guitar.

You guys are seriously making my day. Thank you! I hope more people find this pedal through all of you. We're built and survive on word of mouth.
Here is my purple & black attack pedalboard- looks like my Lil Fella ended up with somewhat less purple in its glitter job than others so its body looks more black.
You all can have the purple ones. I dig the orange and white. Go Vols!
Hey orange is my favorite color! I just wanted the purple because I had basically accidentally started amassing lots of purple (the Lil Fella actually replaced ANOTHER purple fuzz pedal!)
In. I was not expecting the versatility of this drive. Probably the best stacking drive I have used as well. Only played with it a little while, but there is about a billion different sounds (give or take 5). They all sound good as well. The tone knob is useful from 0-10. Also the gate is surprisingly awesome. It makes it a super tight drive. I am really digging how articulate it is even when set super heavy. Very happy with this.
I've had my eye on the MBD-2 for a while, kinda off and on really, but this looks mighty cool. Sweet as the purple is, I'm into the white finish too, and as much as my phone lets me hear heh, sounds killer. And much more affordable!
Got some studio expenses to throw money at, but if this holds up on big speakers like it seems it will, I'm grabbing one for my bass recording board.

Lil Fellas back in stock at AAYSR!! Didn't sleep this time and got one on the way!!
You will love it. I cranked mine through the Bergantino rig in my space yesterday and it sounded massive (to use a cliche bass word). As mentioned, it stacks super well with other stuff too; I had amazing results with LF into Super 300 into Blackhawk Valkyrie.
That's great to hear! I'm gonna try it going into my MBD-1. So far the Fuzzrocious Rat Tail sounds massive going into it.
