"Hi All-
2011 will be a busy year for new Chandler Limited products. We have four new items in the works and will be releasing them in short order.

The first first product will be a new direction for Chandler Limited. I have been a guitar player for 30 years and it is really what got me into music and recording. I have long been interested in making guitar pedals and pursuing sounds that I have wanted for guitar but have been unable to obtain with other gear. I have been experimenting with distortion and boost sounds for the last year and a half and feel that I have guitar pedals that will offer the Chandler sound and build to a new audience.

SO! I offer to you the Little Devil Boost pedals. It is a Class A circuit design that is hand wired and constructed like all Chandler products, and offers a large amount of high quality colored gain, selection of boost range, and three feedback settings. The Little Devil Boost is inspired by our upcoming Little Devil 500 pre amp. The intense sounding discrete amps and feedback settings are the heart of the units. As with the Germ Pre and Little Devil pres you can manufacture and enhance sounds easily and have a variety of sounds at your disposal. The three position feedback switch on each pedal is very much like having three different pedals and when combined with the boost range and gain allow for even more experimentation.

Best wishes,
Wade Goeke
Chandler Limited"

The Neve 1073LBEQ provides a Neve 1073 EQ circuit in a single 500-series module. The 1073 is widely considered the world’s premier mic preamp & EQ module, delivering the unique Neve sound featured on some of the most famous recordings of the past 40 years.

The big, punchy sound of the classic Neve 1073 module complements any musical genre, from rock to rap, jazz to classical. Its lush sound with classic Neve signature makes it the consummate mic-pre/EQ module for recording vocals, guitars, and acoustic instruments of all descriptions. With the 1073LBEQ module, the highly sought-after classic EQ sound is now available in a 500-series form-factor.

Highlights

* Legendary 3-band EQ design
* When integrated with 1073LB preamp, the combination is 100% discrete and = genuine 1073 mic pre/EQ
* Rotary controls provide accurate adjustment of the 1073 3-band EQ and High Pass Filter
* Signal presence LED illuminates green from a level of -25dB and red from a level of +24dB
* Switch for EQ IN/OUT function, with LED indication
* Electronically balanced classic Neve circuits used in Line Input and Line Output stages for standalone module use. These stages are bypassed and the 1073LBEQ module is 100% discrete when combined with the 1073LB mic preamp
* Audio Processing Insert design allows the audio to/from the 1073LBEQ module to be inserted into the audio path of an existing 1073LB (modules must be fitted in the same rack)
* High frequency concentric knobs perform two functions: HF shelf control and High Pass Filter control
* Fully screened module packaged in Mu-metal case eliminates stray electromagnetic fields from Lunchbox PSU or other module types

The 1073LBEQ provides the legendary sound of Neve in a remarkably simple format. A Line level input feeds an electronically balanced EQ circuit with 3-bands of adjustable EQ and a High Pass filter, which can easily be switched in/out. The output is also an electronically balanced Line level output. A signal presence LED and Neve’s clever Audio Processing Insert design is also integrated into the module.

The 1073LBEQ can be modified to work as an inserted process with an existing 1073LB mic pre module. A modification is required inside both units and a cable, which is supplied with the 1073LBEQ module, is needed to connect the LB mic pre to the LB EQ. The result of this is a genuine 1073 mic/pre input -> EQ -> output audio path when in this mode. Revolutionary!

This mono unit is the perfect solution for studios and audio engineers looking to bring in the very essence of the Neve 1073 EQ sound to their portable racks.

Note: The Neve 1073LBEQ will not work with the A Designs 500HR 2 Slot rack or the Empirical Labs EL500 2 Slot 500 Series Rack.

VINTAGE KING

FROM QXP:
"This is a new Baxandall EQ from XQP we'll be showing at AES 129, booth 642. Two frequencies per band. Very simple."

From Anamod:

Vesatile modeled amplifier
· Two transformer stages - 2 models each
· Two tube stages stages - 4 models each
· All analog - no latency or conversion
· Single-space 500 series rack format

Whether tracking live or re-processing instruments, many people use a tube amplifier to shape the sound of a track. The AnaMod XF Tube provides a unique way to do this. The XF Tube is an analog model of an amplifier which consists of an input transformer, 2 tube stages, and an output transformer. Any of the stages may be bypassed and each stage has switchable parameters. The transformer stages allow for the selection of an iron or nickel core model while the tube stages provide models for both pentodes and triodes as well as configuring the stage as either push-pull or single-ended.

The XF Tube, while being model based, is a purely analog device. It was created using the AnaMod process to model the complex tube and transformer characteristics. Unlike a digital plug-in or processor- based outboard gear, there is no latency, and no A/D or D/A conversions to compromise the sound.

Specifications

Input Impedance: 20KΩ, balanced
Output Impedance: less than 50Ω
Max. Output Level: +21dBu, balanced
Transformer Models: Iron or Nickel
Tube Models: Pentode or Triode
Stage Configurations: Push-Pull or Single Ended
Drive Controls: One for each tube stage
Iron / Byp. / Nickel: Sets the transformer model or bypasses the stage entirely.
Single-Ended / Byp. / Push-Pull: Sets the stage configuration or bypasses the stage entirely.

ANAMOD WILL BE SHOWING THIS FANTASTIC PROUCT AT AES 2010!

Product Description

Bode-style frequency shifter + analog echo emulation = skull melting chaos. Perfect for dub, Dr. Who and all of your psychedelic needs. Sonic results range from subtle chorusing and double tracking to barberpole phasing and flanging to endless glissandos and runaway echos. I get lost in this one.
