Chandler Limited TG-2 Abbey Road Special Edition Mic Preamp

The sound of the EMI TG12428 preamp was used on many famous recordings done at Abbey Road including The Beatles' "Abbey Road" and Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon." The amplifiers were also used in many EMI circuits of the time. Chandler's version was remade from original design notes and circuit board drawings provided by Abbey Road and EMI to ensure extreme authenticity.This pre-amp 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 contributes to its sound.Users Jerry Finn (Blink 182, Green Day) Andy Smith (Paul Simon) Joe Barresi (Hole, Weezer) John Merchant (Bee Gees
