Chandler Limited

A mainstay on both Vintage King’s new and used equipment rosters, Chandler Limited specializes in making and remaking classic equipment that is no longer available or, in some cases, never was. Chandler grew from a demand for the classic equipment from yesteryear, basing their designs on vintage Neve and EMI equipment. Chandler products are hand wired and remain true to original circuit board layouts, delivering authentic tone and texture to the end user. On some units, Chandler has taken an amalgam of features and incorporated them into one design, resulting in a classic tone coupled with features that facilitate modern techniques and requirements. Most recently, Chandler has created two new 500-series modules: the Little Devil Compressor and Little Devil EQ. In addition to fantastic outboard gear, Chandler also offers up classic sounds in plug-in form with their spot-on emulations of the legendary Abbey Road console.

The Chandler Limited TG2 is a recreation of the rare EMI TG12428 
pre amp used in EMI/Abbey Road recording and mastering consoles used in 
the late 60's and early 70's. The sound was used on many famous 
recordings done at Abbey Road including The Beatles' "Abbey Road" and 
Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" and its amplifiers used in many EMI
 circuits of the time. 
This pre features the same discrete transformer balanced amplifiers 
as the TG series limiter and offers a creamy, smooth tone with a 
surprisingly open, clear top end, similar to a Neve. The sound, as 
explained by many users, has a familiar Neve "warmth" and punch, but 
with a "nicer" expanded top end. In fact the unit does have a small rise
 in its top end frequency response and some warmth inducing distortion 
which contribute to its sound. 

The Placid Audio Copperphone, 
unlike full range high fidelity microphones, operates within a limited 
bandwidth of frequencies which lends a nostalgic quality to the signal. 
Some might compare the sound to an AM radio or a telephone. The sound is achieved through a 
combination of vintage telecommunications components and a mechanical 
filtering effect. The microphone’s element is rear ported into a hollow 
resonant chamber. As sound passes through the diaphragm and into the 
hollow chamber, upper mid range frequencies are accentuated while low 
and high frequencies are reduced. An everyday example of this mechanical
 filtering effect can be demonstrated by pressing a paper towel tube up 
to your mouth and talking into it.
