Chandler Limited Little Devil Pedal
"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

ELBERG LM24C 24 channel mixer/summing amp/line preamp
PRESS RELEASE
Danish company ELT launches two new products: The ELBERG LM24C 24 channel mixer/summing amp/line preamp, and the ELBERG HM12 high output headphone mixer amp.
Negative gain enables full output from harddisk to be mixed
The master of the ELBERG LM24C includes a 'SUMMING GAIN' rotary switch (-30-0 dB in steps of 6 dB), which due to negative gain enables it to handle the high level which is created, when 24 tracks from a harddisk recorded at typically +10 til +15 dBu are summed. The commonly used procedure of attenuating the output level of the harddisk – resulting in degraded resolution – can thus be avoided.
New life to your headphone
The ELBERG HM12 is a high output headphone mixer featuring eight mono- and four stereo in- and output. The mono inputs offer pan control, and the stereo inputs a mono button. The master uncludes a switchable two band EQ. The master volume feeds the jack socket for a headphone. An external power supply delivers the voltage (+37 V) for the HM12.
The rear facilitates the two input- and two linked output sub-D connectors. This enables chosen mix channels to be fed to a chain of HM12s, so that each musician can create his or her individual monitor mix. Due to the high supply voltages, the HM12 can make a headphone deliver extremely high sound levels maintaining its transparent and well defined sound throughout. The outputs consist of selected and matched transistors and are short circuit safe.
