Chandler Limited Germanium Mono Preamp
Chandler’s newest series of units continues with the GERMANIUM Tone Control. The Chandler Tone Control uses active AND passive EQ circuits in combination with the GERMANIUM amplifier developed for the Chandler GERMANIUM Pre and incorporates the versatile Feedback and Drive controls as well. All bands use inductors for the fattest smoothest tone possible. The passive low frequency section is selectable between “Pultec/Lang” interactive curves and more standard low frequency with pass filter for maximum flexibility while the Treble and Presence bands are active and designed to sound like your favorite British eqs from yesteryear. The Chandler Tone Control continues the GERMANIUM tradition of undeniable sound with maximum flexibility at a reasonable price. Fans of the Pre are sure to love it!
Chandler Germanium Tone Control Testimonials:
“I think this is one of the most musical sounding EQ’s I have ever heard. It immediately turned a paper thin snare sound into a phone book!!! Insane! The low end control is incredible….from fat round bass tones to thick kicks, and the top is sweet and powerful. The flexibility and control of this EQ is unlike anything out there, and once it found its spot on an instrument, I was extremely bummed that I didn’t have a console full of these!”
~ Joe Barresi
“When I first tried these last week, I passed an old mix through them. I added +2db at 20k and a -2db of 300hz………….When I regained consciousness, there was a bulge in my pants…LOL. These things are freaking cool. And that British look had me sipping tea all weekend. Jolly-oh!”
~ Gear Slut
“Our Tone Control arrived, and I inserted it on a vocal track — ridiculous I say! The top end is SO smooth, I boosted 20k all the way just to see — NO sibilance just “expensive air”. Cut 150, boosted 220 interactive mode…PHAATTTNESS, no boominess. I’m very upset though, and I know people have posted this on gearslutz, because I MUST have 7 more.”
~ The Wilshires
“I thought this EQ strip was awesome, but the multi combinations of gain/feedback turn this toy into a chameleon.”
~ Michael Brauer
“If gear design were a sport, I’d be call for steroid testing of Wade Geoke, as he seems to hit a home run everytime he’s at bat. I don’t think its an exaggeration to say his Germanium Tone Control is the most innovative new EQ design I’ve seen. You’ll find this EQ is capable of making insanely perfect tones. I’ve never heard an EQ that can truly make a sound fatter in the way this one does.”
