Chandler's newest series of units continues with the GERMANIUM Tone
Control. The Tone Control uses active AND passive EQ circuits in
combination with the GERMANIUM amplifier developed for the GERMANIUM
Pre and incorporates the versatile Feedback and Drive controls as well.
All bands use inductors for the fattest smoothest tone possible. The
passive low frequency section is selectable between "Pultec/Lang"
interactive curves and more standard low frequency with pass filter
for maximum flexibility while the Treble and Presence bands are active
and designed to sound like your favorite British eqs from yesteryear.
The Tone Control continues the GERMANIUM tradition of undeniable sound
with maximum flexibility at a reasonable price. Fans of the Pre are
sure to love it!
"I think this is one of the most musical sounding EQ's I have ever heard. It immediately turned a
paper thin snare sound into a phone book!!! Insane! The low end control is incredible....from fat round
bass tones to thick kicks, and the top is sweet and powerful. The flexibility and control of this EQ
is unlike anything out there, and once it found its spot on an instrument, I was extremely bummed that
I didn't have a console full of these!"
- Joe Barresi
"When I first tried these last week, I passed an old mix through them. I added +2db at 20k and a
-2db of 300hz.............When I regained consciousness, there was a bulge in my pants...LOL.
These things are freaking cool. And that British look had me sipping tea all weekend. Jolly-oh!"
- Gear Slut
"Our Tone Control arrived, and I inserted it on a vocal track --
ridiculous I say! The top end is SO smooth, I boosted 20k all the
way just to see -- NO sibilance just "expensive air".
Cut 150, boosted 220 interactive mode...PHAATTTNESS, no boominess.
I'm very upset though, and I know people have posted this on
gearslutz, because I MUST have 7 more."
- The Wilshires
"I thought this EQ strip was awesome, but the multi combinations of gain/feedback turn this toy into a chameleon."
- Michael Brauer
"If gear design were a sport, I'd be call for steroid testing of Wade Goeke, as he seems to hit a home run everytime he's at bat. I don't think its an exaggeration to say his Germanium Tone Control is the most innovative new EQ design I've seen. You'll find this EQ is capable of making insanely perfect tones. I've never heard an EQ that can truly make a sound fatter in the way this one does."
- Mike Caffrey, "Tape Op" Nov/Dec 2006
"...This thing is like potato chips, there is no way you can have just one!"
- Paul Vnuk Jr.
"There aren't many products that come my way which genuinely surprise me, but this Chandler Tone Control is one of the few. It does
so much more than it looks like it should, and it does those things so much better than anything else I can think of. If you want interesting and musical EQ, this is it. Start saving your pennies now!"
- Hugh Robjohns, "Sound on Sound" Nov. 2007
"The eqs---just total game-changing magic from the interactive thick section! So easy to work with just your ears., experimenting with the interactions --- the presence and treble are both so crazy usable too.
Musical to the max, great for any vocal or instrument. I've got an amazing low-mid low-end thing going that makes everything sound amazing."
- Matthew Sweet
