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. This instantly identifiable sound was used on many legendary Abbey Road recordings, including The Beatles Abbey Road and Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon.

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.

Put this in your rack and brace yourself for some serious tone

Chandler Limited's TG2-500 500 Series preamp was built from the original EMI TG12428 design notes and circuit board drawings provided by Abbey Road and EMI. With a genealogy like that, this preamp's a no-brainer. When you plug into the Chandler Limited TG2-500 Abbey Road Special Edition preamp, you plug into the sound behind some of the most memorable recordings in classic rock history. Put one (or more) of these preamps in your 500 Series rack and brace yourself for some serious tone.
