Get the Tone of a Legendary British Console EQ, with a Modern Touch

Based on the vintage EMI TG12345 desk from Abbey Road Studios, the same console used to record Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and The Beatles' Abbey Road, the Chandler Limited Curve Bender EQ takes classic EMI sonics and blows it up into a powerful mastering tool.

Go to Work with an Iconic Circuit

The Chandler Limited Curve Bender’s filter inductors are the key to its legendary sonic character. “Inductor-based EQs have a sound that is unachievable by any other method," says Chandler Limited founder, Wade Goeke. "They sound fat, with thick low end, slightly aggressive mids, and smooth highs.”

Explore an Expanded EQ for your Studio

The original EMI TG12345 desk EQ offered nine fixed filter points. The Chandler Limited Curve Bender plug-ins expands these to a whopping 51, with more gain options, a slightly more flexible Q, Mid/Side capability, and additional high and low-pass filters. These enhancements make the Chandler Limited Curve Bender EQ equally useful in home studios and high-end mixing or mastering spaces.

Shape your Mixes, Masters & More

Although primarily designed for the mix bus, the Chandler Limited Curve Bender EQ plug-in can be used in myriad tone-shaping scenarios. Put it on your mix bus to add air, complexity, and juicy inductor-based flavor. Or place it on your drum or vocal bus for tons of old-school spice and attitude that is unachievable any other way.

What They Say

The sonic similarities of the UAD Chandler Curve Bender to the hardware allows me to work on my mobile rig, and integrate seamlessly into the analog world.

    Wow!!

    I’ve had the chance to use the Chandler Limited Curve Bender Mastering EQ, and it’s simply amazing. Its analog character and ability to sculpt sound with precision make it an essential mastering tool. Every adjustment adds a unique musicality, enhancing frequencies smoothly without losing depth. Whether adding air to the highs or reinforcing the lows with elegance, this EQ always delivers warm and detailed results. Definitely a key piece in my workflow.

    Love this EQ it's very different

    I call it gentle giant. Find the frequency that bugs you and cut or boost it to your liking just a little bit, with this EQ less is more. Listen to your change many times without tweaking the EQ, then bypass the eq listen and re-enable it (for me the effect is WOW! every time). This one, Neve and Milenia are my favorite EQs. I highly recommend it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you’ll need an Apollo audio interface, UAD-2 Satellite, or UAD-2 PCIe card to run these plug-ins, using the onboard DSP. The plug-ins run on the hardware itself, without adding strain to your computer’s CPU. In an Apollo, onboard DSP processing allows you to run realtime UAD plug-ins with near-zero latency, and even record that processing directly to your DAW.

This refers to the number of SHARC DSP processors in Apollo and UAD-2 hardware. A DUO core system has twice the amount of processing power compared to a SOLO core system. More SHARC DSP cores increases the number of UAD-2 plug-ins you can run on the hardware.

No, Satellites provide DSP to run UAD-2 plug-ins in your DAW.

Yes, you can start a fully functional 14-day demo from any plug-in bundled with the UAD software. Simply click “Start Demo”, and start using it in your DAW.

UAD-2 licenses follow the hardware, it does not matter which computer they are connected to. You can have up to six UAD-2 devices registered to a system in your Universal Audio account, which share those licenses. See UAD-2 Plug-In Licensing Explained for full details. Authorisation of UAD-2 hardware is managed by the UAD Meter & Control Panel Application.
