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 "Dark Side of the Moon." The
amplifiers were also used in many EMI circuits of the time. Our version was
remade from original design notes and circuit board drawings, provided by
Abbey Road and EMI to ensure extreme authenticty!
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.
Options: Stepped Output (Stereo)
*Please note- Not all of the early Abbey Road TG-2 units have the "impedence" as a standard feature of the unit.
If buying a used unit, please inquire as to whether the unit is equipped with the impedence before purchasing.
"YOU ARE AWESOME! I really appreciate the extra mile you went. I will definitely be telling all my engineer friends that pass through Conway Recording in Hollywood. I also own two germanium pre-amps and am looking to purchase a TG-1 for Christmas this year!
Best Regards!"
- Ed Mora - Satisfied Customer
"I just finished a 5 month record that I was working on and the biggest comment that I get about the mixes are "oh my gosh, listen to those acoustics, how did you get that sound?".
The Chandler TG-2 and a 414 is how!"
- Fred Coury - Cinderella Drummer
"Thanks for the support and for such a great pre/DI (TG2). My other pres have
been feeling distinctly 'un-loved' since this baby arrived! After spending a week
with the TG2, I now understand what all the talk has been about. The TG2 delivers
the sound I have been searching for - a 'creamy' sounding mid to high frequency
emphasis with punch."
- Anthony Lim
"I found the preamp's sound quality somewhere between an API 512 mic preamp and
Neve's 1272 amplifier as used in the 1073 and 1084 modules. You'll find a whole new
sonic world here: higher dynamic range than the Neve combined with API's "harder,
punchier" sound character. Doesn't disappoint with a wide open sound"
- Barry Rudolph, "Mix Magazine" Feb '03
"Just a quick (belated) note to say thank you for the TG2 - wow! Spectacular
sounding pre. I ran our bass player direct using the TG2 and the sound was amazing
- crystal clear with full, deep low freq response. I'll be cutting vocal tracks with
Barry tomorrow; I'm looking forward to hearing your pre with his U47."
- John Merchant, Engineer- Bee Gees
All TG units require and function on the PSU-1, Chandler Limited power supply.
