Blue Pro have recently purchased and installed the Chandler 'Curve Bender' EQ. Built in conjunction with EMI and Abbey Road, the unit is based on the classic TG12345 console that was used to record various albums for The Beatles such as 'Abbey Road' and Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side Of The Moon'.

Bringing another superb addition to Blue Pro's already astounding line up of equipment, the TG12345 EQ is a useful and powerful tool for both mixing and mastering applications. It is a very natural, warm and musical EQ but the line amps alone are enough to warrant our purchase of this unit.

Mastering engineer John Webber comments 'As soon as i switch in the TG12345 the EQ's line amps seem to add an extra dimension to the sound. With so many records made purely in the digital domain these days the TG can help add subtle warm colour and prestige to an otherwise hard clinical recording. It's particularly great for breathing a little life into your bottom end.'

"I predict the Curve Bender will be the secret weapon every f*@!ing mastering engineer has been looking for...It has to be the best low end I've ever heard out of an EQ. It has attitude for days...you'd think it was born in NYC." Michael Brauer (Mix Engineer (Coldplay, Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, Meatloaf))

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.
