A re-creation of the amazing-sounding classic

The Chandler Limited TG1 Abbey Road Special Edition is a re-creation of the classic EMI TG12413 limiter used in custom EMI and Abbey Road recording and mastering consoles from the late 60's. The TG Limiter was originally designed to have the characteristics of the Fairchild 660/670, which was adored by many EMI engineers - including Geoff Emerick - but ended up with a very special sound all its own. These rare pieces were never commercially available and only EMI-owned studios had access to them. The Chandler Limited version has been remade from the original design information and circuit board drawings as provided by Abbey Road and EMI to ensure extreme authenticity.

You're in good company: The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Stones...

TG equipment was used on many classic records and this Limiter was featured on every channel of TG consoles used to record The Beatles' Abbey Road, several Pink Floyd records, including Dark Side of the Moon, Paul McCartney, and the Rolling Stones. When you use Chandler Limited's TG1 Abbey Road Special Edition limiter, you'll immediately hear the sonic ancestry. This limiter sounds totally gear.

Pure vintage sound from discrete circuitry and transformer-balanced input and output

The Chandler Limited TG1 Abbey Road Special Edition limiter features 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, often compared to the holy grail Fairchild 670, is very punchy, while maintaining exceptional clarity and high frequency response. You've simply got to hear one in action to fully appreciate a limiter of this magnitude.
