Chandler - TG Channel MKII
The Chandler Limited Channel is a recreation of several classic circuits and combines a TG2 pre amp section with an equalizer that was redesigned from an equalization circuit used in the TG12410 Transfer or mastering console. The mastering counterpart to the original "Beatles desks". Our version has been remade using original design information and circuit board drawings as provided by Abbey Road to ensure extreme authenticity! We've even remolded the old TG style pointer knobs.
The active portions of the unit use the same discrete amplifiers and transformers as in the TG1 Limiter and TG2 pre amp. The passive equalizer portion of the EQ is an all inductor design and offers sweet high frequencies with large inductor based lows, and a very high "Q" mid cut section. Designed to sound like a fine musical instrument instead of a modern surgical tool, it's sound is very comparable to Pultec and Lang program eqs but made from TG circuits. A simple description would be a TG Pultec with a TG pre amp thrown in...
"This album would'nt be the same without your products. I've been chasing these sounds for years. After buying the Chandler products (TG Channel MKII, TG-2, Germ Pre) it all fell into place. I think your products just might save Rock-and-Roll."
"I didn't think I'd need another EQ in my arsenal until I heard the Channel. I was secretly hoping I wouldn't like it because I don't have room but this Eq is so damn organic, so fat. I got a great snare sound that none of my other Eq's could touch, bummer, it got the "wow that's the s**t" factor! I found the room by replacing two eq's in my rack for two of chandler's Channel."
"The best piece of new gear made!"
"Again Chandler has done it and blown me away. These !!!###$$$$ mic pre's rule. There is not a sound that goes in that does not come out sweeter, richer, creamier than before. On the new Channel, the eq section is so sweet, you find yourself looking for ways to eq,when in the past you steered away from eq. Very cool. I am not one to mince words, so believe me when I say it, these !!##$$ 'ing boxes are the shit."
"The pre is huge, and the EQ compliments it with the ability to extend the top and the bottom without getting harsh. The mid cut is great on those kick drum and bass areas that always need some attention, while not sacrificing the size of the track. And it's fun to use !! A big and smooth sounding EQ to compliment a big sounding mic pre. A great combination!"
