The Chandler Limited TG2 is a recreation of the rare EMI TG12428 preamp 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 "Dark Side of the Moon." The amplifiers were also used in many EMI circuits of the time. This version was remade from original design notes and circuit board drawings, provided by Abbey Road and EMI to ensure extreme authenticity! 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 (dare we say nicer than Neve....) The sound, as explained by many users, has the 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. This unit has been in my rack for 3 years (bought new) and has delivered flawless service. No issues. I'm including the power supply (a $200 must-have) that can power 4 units. Google this item for reviews from studios and pro audio magazines. They're all “over the moon”. Am located in Canada. Will ship to Canadian addresses and lower 48 States.
