There's history behind this amazing-sounding pre The Chandler Limited TG2-500 500 Series module is a re-creation of the rare EMI TG12428 preamp fitted in EMI/Abbey Road recording and mastering consoles of the late '60s and early '70s.

You get warmth and punch - plus an open, airy high end The Chandler Limited TG2-500 500 Series preamp module incorporates the same discrete transformer-balanced amplifiers as the TG Series limiter, giving you a creamy, smooth tone with an open, airy high end. The sound, as described by many users, is imbued with vintage warmth and punch - but with a more open top end. The unit does indeed have a small rise in its high frequency response, along with some warmth-inducing distortion which contribute to its unique, punchy sound.
