LTD-1 EQ/Pre Amp

OVERVIEW

AS OF JANUARY 2019 THIS PRODUCT IS DISCONTINUED.

The Chandler Limited LTD-1 is a hand wired and handmade 10-series equalizer and pre amp using parts and build techniques from the original manufacture of the modules. Grounding, wiring techniques, original transformers, transistors, and inductors have been used to attribute to the special sound in each LTD-1.

In addition to the classic 10-series sound we added all the modern functions you would expect and expanded the EQ section giving a much larger palate to choose from. Features include high impedance direct in, 48v switching, output fader, EQ in/out, phase reverse, balanced mic in, balanced line in, overbuilt power supply to ensure maximum headroom, and nine additional EQ points.

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.

NOTE: Early LTD-1 units used a Neutrik style input receptacle for the DI connection, as seen in pictures on this page. Current models feature a standard 1/4" input jack. This has no effect on the sound.

TESTIMONIALS

Billy Bush

"Suffice to say that the TG2, Germ pre and EQ, and TG1 are there anytime I track drums, TG2 for guitars and the LTD-1 is there whenever I do vocals!"

Jared Scharff and the Royals

"Hey- I play Guitar for Sat Night Live and just bought a Chandler LTD1. Favorite Guitar Mic preamp EVER!"

John Paterno, engineer, Badly Drawn Boy, Joan Osborne, Los Lobos

"In the LTD-1, Chandler Limited has gone out of their way to combine the tone of the best 10-series modules with the extra EQ points and functionality I need. One listen and I was hooked..."

Ross Hogarth, Grammy winning producer/engineer for Keb’ Mo, Ziggy Marley, Coal Chamber

"I have been using the LTD-1's since Chandler's start and I have never wanted to be without them since. These modules just seem to get better and more useful as time goes by. I have made them my first choice for recording kick drum because of the selection of frequency's and punchy clarity. They also have become my first choice mic pre for my lead vocal chain. Great job Wade!"

Joe Barresi, engineer, Hole, Weezer

"The sound of rock..and more frequencies. Fat, round, warm..just the way I like my eq's!"
