Perfect Companion to the Germanium Pre Amp!

Behind the innocuous faceplate of the Chandler Limited Germanium Tone Control EQ lurks a growling analog beast. It's nefarious mission? It only wants to help you craft some insanely great recordings. Chandler Limited begins with the unique Feedback and Drive controls found on the Germanium Pre Amp/DI. Tons of flexibility right there, but things really take off with both active and passive EQ circuits, the Thick control, and more. We're talking tremendous flexibility, combined with the unique smooth, round tone of germanium transistors. Expand your studio's sonic palette with the Chandler Limited Germanium Tone Control EQ.

Chandler Limited Germanium Tone Control EQ at a Glance:
  • Your quest for stunning fat tone ends here
  • Passive and active circuits for maximum tone-shaping flexibility
  • Your sonic obsession: Chandler's mission

Your quest for stunning fat tone ends here
Chandler's ramps up the quest for perfect tone with the Germanium Tone Control EQ. The Tone Control uses active and passive EQ circuits in combination with the Germanium amplifier developed for the Germanium Pre - and incorporates versatile Feedback and Drive controls as well. The separate low-frequency cut and boost sections can operate independently or interactively, and both the Presence and Treble sections can be swept. All bands use inductors for the fattest, smoothest tone possible.

Passive and active circuits for maximum tone-shaping flexibility
For maximum flexibility, you can switch the passive low frequency section of the Chandler Limited Germanium Tone Control between "Pultec/Lang" interactive curves and "standard" low frequency with pass filtering. Treble and Presence bands are active and designed to sound like the most sought-after vintage Brit EQs. The Tone Control extends the Germanium convention of providing you with tasty vintage sound - plus maximum flexibility - at a down-to-earth price.

Your sonic obsession: Chandler's mission
Recording engineers are always looking for fresh tonal colors and approaches when tracking - it's an obsession. Chandler feeds this addiction with their innovative take on the technologies of the past. They start with painstaking component selection. The Germanium Tone Control's parts list reads like a 40-year-old document. Seriously - they just don't build 'em this way anymore. Hand-wired and assembled in the USA, the Germanium Tone Control utilizes 100% discrete transistor circuitry and specially wound transformers. Aside from the fact that you'll have this puppy forever, the weapons-grade build quality is a means to an end - the sound. Glorious, fat, supremely musical sound, with amazing headroom. Stock your arsenal with a serious rock and roll weapon - the Chandler Limited Germanium Tone Control EQ.

Chandler Limited Germanium Tone Control EQ Features:
  • Interactive/Independent toggle
  • Germanium Drive control

Recommended Accessories

Everything was exactly as promised. I was impressed with the phone call I received from your guy when I had just placed the order. He was very thorough and professional in every way. I love my new digital piano. Your wide selection and excellent service as well as your "3 Payment Plan" and the 2 year warranty sealed the deal for me on this purchase. No one else could come close.
