TG12411 Channel

EMI Abbey Road Studios

OVERVIEW

The Chandler Limited TG12411 channel, formerly known as the TG Channel MKII, is a recreation of several classic circuits – combining Wade Goeke’s design of the TG2 pre amp section with an equalizer that was redesigned from a circuit used in the TG12410 Transfer Console, the mastering counterpart to the original “Beatles desks.”

The active portions of the unit use the same discrete amplifiers and transformers as in the TG1 Limiter and TG2 pre amp. The TG12411’s passive equalizer EQ is an all inductor design offering sweet high frequencies, large inductor based lows, and a very high “Q” mid cut section. Its sound is very comparable to Pultec and Lang program EQs. A simple description would be a TG Pultec with a TG pre amp thrown in.

All TG 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: As of late 2016, the TG Channel MKII was renamed the TG12411; there has been no modification to the MKII circuit.

TESTIMONIALS

Joe Chiccarelli

“I have used Chandler Zener and TG compressors on every album i’ve done since they’ve been made. I think I can honestly say about half the guitars I’ve ever done have been TG preamps. These would include drums and guitars on albums for The Shins, The White Stripes, The Strokes, The Raconteurs, Manchester Orchestra, Stars, Alanis Morrisette, Jason Mraz,U2, Elton John, Beck, etc. Pretty much every album I’ve been apart of for the last ten years or more has had Chandler gear on it. That would include TG Preamps and EQ. Zener, Germanium and TG compressors.”

Chris Day, Plan-D Studios

“This album wouldn’t be the same without your products. I’ve been chasing these sounds for years. After buying the Chandler products (TG Channel MKII, TG-2, Germ Pre) it all fell into place. I think your products just might save Rock-and-Roll.”

Michael Brauer

“I didn’t think I’d need another EQ in my arsenal until I heard the Channel. I was secretly hoping I wouldn’t like it because I don’t have room but this Eq is so damn organic, so fat. I got a great snare sound that none of my other Eq’s could touch, bummer, it got the “wow that’s the s**t” factor! I found the room by replacing two eq’s in my rack for two of chandler’s Channel.”

Michael Wagener (Producer: Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Motley Crue)

“The best piece of new gear made!”

Ross Hogarth

“Again Chandler has done it and blown me away. These !!!###$$$$ mic pre’s rule. There is not a sound that goes in that does not come out sweeter, richer, creamier than before. On the new Channel, the eq section is so sweet, you find yourself looking for ways to eq,when in the past you steered away from eq. Very cool. I am not one to mince words, so believe me when I say it, these !!##$$ ‘ing boxes are the shit.”

John Paterno

“The pre is huge, and the EQ compliments it with the ability to extend the top and the bottom without getting harsh. The mid cut is great on those kick drum and bass areas that always need some attention, while not sacrificing the size of the track. And it’s fun to use !! A big and smooth sounding EQ to compliment a big sounding mic pre. A great combination!”
