Chandler LTD-2
Chandler's LTD-2 is modeled after the design, materials and build-tequiques of the famous vintage Neve compressors. More importantly, it embodies the spirit and essence of those rare and expensive devices. You can go your whole studio life without ever touching an original 2254/2264 or 33609; that's how scarce they are. Good thing the folks at Chandler make it easy and affordable to get really close to that authentic sound. (Not to mention release times which are much faster than the original make the LTD-2 a more-versatile, every-day box).
The Chandler Limited LTD-2 is a hand-wired 2254/2264/33609 that has been handmade using parts and build techniques from the original manufacture of the modules. Grounding, wiring techniques, original transformers, transistors, and much more attribute to the special sound of these units and have been painstakingly recreated in each LTD-2. We even make our chassis to resemble the old modules- highly polished plated steel.
The LTD-2 uses the control circuit from the Neve family of compressors, but retains the Class A amps and transformers from the the 2254 and 1073 modules. We add a six position attack switch which none of the vintage types had, and speed up the release times, which makes the units much more versitile. Warm and creamy and valuable in many situations!
