LTD-2 Compressor

Chandler Limited, LTD-2 Compressor, front

OVERVIEW

AS OF MAY 2019 THIS PRODUCT IS DISCONTINUED.

The Chandler Limited LTD-2 is a hand wired and handmade 2254 / 2264 / 33609 using parts and build techniques from the original manufacture of the modules. Grounding, wiring techniques, original transformers, transistors, and much more attribute to the special sound of these units and have been painstakingly recreated in each LTD-2.

The LTD-2 uses the control circuit from the 80-series family of compressors, but retains the Class A amps and transformers from the 2254 and 10-series modules. A six-position attack switch was added, which none of the vintage types had. The sped up release times make the units much more versatile. The LTD-2 is warm, creamy, and valuable in many situations!

All LTD units require and function on the PSU-1, Chandler Limited power supply. The PSU-1 has an internal switch for setting voltage to 120V or 220V (115V/230V). For more information please call us at (319) 885-4200.

TESTIMONIALS

Andy Smith, engineer, Paul Simon

"Chandler products are great. I have been using Chandler's version of the 2254. I find it much more usable than the original with the faster and more variable attack/release times."

Joe Barresi

“Custom mastering/mixing pairs available as provided to Sterling Sound. Features include even faster release times, 1db stepped gain make, and specially matched for stereo.”

Mikolaj Bugajak, Audio-Games, Poland

"I just wanted to say, after mixing two albums with Tone Control and LTD-2 how sick those devices are. Creating sounds is as easy as playing Game Boy. Great stuff!"
