These rare pieces were never commercially available and only EMI-owned studios had access to them. The Chandler Limited version has been remade from the original design information and circuit board drawings as provided by Abbey Road and EMI to ensure extreme authenticity.You're in good company: The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Stones...TG equipment was used on many classic records and this Limiter was featured on every channel of TG consoles used to record The Beatles' Abbey Road, several Pink Floyd records, including Dark Side of the Moon, Paul McCartney, and the Rolling Stones.
