The EMI TG12345 Curve Bender is the ultimate TG
equalizer issued in celebration of the 75th birthday of Abbey Road Studios. The
Curve Bender was conceived by Chandler Limited designer Wade Goeke and Abbey
Road senior engineer Peter Cobbin and is based on the vintage EMI TG12345 desk
used to record The Beatles and Pink Floyd. This newest EMI equalizer continues
the tradition of EMI eqs started in 1951 with the RS56, affectionately entitled
the Curve bender by EMI designers and continued with the TG12345 in 1968, and
TG12412 in 1974. The newest version takes the simple but beautiful sounding
TG12345 equalizer and realizes it in a fully featured and rethought package for
today's use.
During his mixing of numerous Beatles related projects
including, Anthology, Yellow Submarine, and Imagine, Peter Cobbin thought of
having a fully featured and ultimately flexible version of the original desk eq
units. After Wade presented him with a working version of the famed console eq
Pete realized his time had come and set Wade to making his unit. Peter asked for
four bands and filters based on the slopes of the original desk but with
overlapping and expanded choices. Wade turned the 9 selections on the vintage
version into 51 eq points plus a multiply switch that increases the boost/cut to
15db (as well as sharpening the Q), filters, and bell/shelf selections on the
high and low bands.
A simple equalizer from the rich past of EMI and
Abbey Road has now come full circle into a modern powerhouse suitable for
recording, mixing, and mastering. The rest is NEW Chandler Limited/EMI/Abbey
Road history...
