Chandler Limited TG-1 TG12413 Limiter

The Chandler Limited TG1 is a recreation of the classic EMI TG12413 Limiter, which was used in late 1960s custom EMI and Abbey Road recording and mastering consoles. These rare pieces were never commercially available, and they were only available to EMI-owned studios.

The TG1 Limiter was designed to sound like the Fairchild 660/670, which many EMI engineers, including Geoff Emerick, adored, but it ended up with its own distinct sound. Many classic records used TG equipment. The Limiter was present on every channel of the TG consoles used to record The Beatles' "Abbey Road" and Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon," as well as Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones albums.

The Limiter/Compressor has an all-discrete circuit with transformer balanced input and output. The limiting element is a rarely seen diode network that produces smooth, pleasing distortion. The warm open sound, which is frequently compared to a Fairchild 670 set to stun, is very audible and squishy sounding while maintaining clarity and high frequency response.
