      Why isn't there a stereo version of the 500 devil pre as a colour box? It is said that it is great for the mix bus.

      Everything that goes into Chandler gear always sounds so good! Almost impossible to obtain a bad sound then my question is : among all these equipment, which was the most difficult to reproduce? Thank you very much Warren and your hosts for this exciting and inspiring visit :)

      I enjoyed this very very much, thank you! I own quite some Chandler gear, and especially the TG2 is used almost daily, mainly on guitars and bass. I do have two questions. 1. it's hard to get the Germanium Tone Control nowadays, in Europe anyway. Is it discontinued and if so why? If not I'd love to get my hands on a pair... 2. What's Chandler developing right now? I had hoped the video would end with a little sneak peak ;-) Thanks & keep it up.

    Not to mention their sound qualities, these outboards look like true arts!!
    The atmosphere there looks so lovely, too.

    Chandler is a unique voice in the audio world. Wade brought so much cool gear to consumers. I’m a big user of it since 2004. In fact I was the guy who first asked him to cascade the channels in the TG2. I have the first unit that was done that way!

    I love what little Chandler I own, and it’s so cool to peer behind the curtain a bit. I often say I could pick either API or Neve, sell off the other one, and be perfectly happy, but I will always keep my TG2s and my Germanium. There’s definitely some magic in there, and the TG2s almost always show up on any guitars I record - acoustic or electric. 🤘

Not sure if I will ever go the hardware route, but hope that the old school point to point wiring and tube manufacturing will long continue.

    Wade is great guy and makes awesome equipment. I bought an TG2 in early 2000's turns out I had a power supply that had a problem. Talked to him on the phone he was great and helpful. He was going send me a new power supply before I even sent the broken one back. A lady called me next day and was very nice also but had me send the power supply back before they sent me the new one. I really knew nothing about recording just knew I need a good channel strip and was going to start there. I called him again because the TG2 sounded so great listening through my head phones but when I recorded a track it did not sound the same. He explained ad/da conversion and was most help full. Great product and great company !

      Wade is a very nice guy who obviously loves what he does and enjoy helping people. I live in the Dominican Republic and I once called Chandler Limited and they transferred the call to him but he was on his way out to some place and he called me back while he was driving just to explain some things about the Germanium mic pre/di and the Germ; in fact he told me that they sounded exactly the same, so if someone owns a 500 series rack/lunchbox they can get the Germ 500 and save a couple of hundred.

    I am lucky enough to have several Chandler pieces - TG2, Zener, Curve Bender, REDD47, TG2 Opto. If you asked me what my favorite piece was I don't know that I could answer, it's all so good. As a bass player, I love the REDD47. It's just magic. The Opto is great on vocals, bass, kick, anything you put through it. Have contacted Chandler with questions once or twice and was amazed to get email answers from Wade himself. Dude is solid, just like everything Chandler makes.

I'd love the REDD47 pre too as well as a whole load of other Chandler gear.... maybe when bank balance permits! Seeing this only makes me appreciate Chandler gear even more. Brilliant.

    34:50 Interesting you mention: I've heard/read a lot of things on how engineers in America had a heck of a time working with U47s at first because the Neumann mics were designed to work with German preamplifier designs. Would be interested to hear some talk or see a video on how impedance differences affect microphone response.

    Nice Gear...I have and love their Germanium Comp and Tonecontrol. Only Problem is that their "Blackboxes" start getting noisy all the time and are expensive to replace. Nobody copies them, but it would be better and less expensiv to be able to just replace whatever part constantly breaks inside 😪

    I enjoyed this very very much, thank you! I own quite some Chandler gear, and especially the TG2 is used almost daily, mainly on guitars and bass. I do have two questions. 1. it's hard to get the Germanium Tone Control nowadays, in Europe anyway. Is it discontinued and if so why? If not I'd love to get my hands on a pair... 2. What's Chandler developing right now? I had hoped the video would end with a little sneak peak ;-) Thanks & keep it up

    • @chandlerlimited
      @chandlerlimited Рік тому +2

      The Germanium Tone Control was discontinued a few years ago - along with the LTD1 and LTD2 - to make room for new designs; we still service them though. As far as new products, Wade's got multiple things cooking at any given time.

    I live in Iowa and never knew Chandler was made in my home state. Probably cause I have never owned any Chandler products, not because I don’t like them lol
