Chandler Limited® Curve Bender Mastering EQ
-
The inspired tone of the legendary British console EQ, taken to the next level.
Based on the vintage EMI TG12345 desk from Abbey Road Studios, the same one used to record Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and The Beatles' Abbey Road, Chandler Limited’s Curve Bender EQ isn’t just a recreation of the legendary hardware. It takes the sonics of the vintage EMI unit, and blows it up into powerful mastering EQ.
Developed by Softube for UAD hardware and UA Audio Interfaces — the Chandler Limited Curve Bender Mastering EQ plug-in is endorsed by Chandler Limited and is an exacting emulation of this ultra‑boutique EQ.Shape and color your mixes with the only authentic emulation of Chandler Limited's best-in-class EQ

An Iconic Circuit
Using an advanced algorithm, Softube expertly emulates the Chandler Limited Curve Bender’s filter inductors — 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.”
Expanding a Classic
The original EMI TG12345 desk EQ offered nine fixed filter points. The Chandler Limited Curve Bender expanded these to a whopping 51, with more gain options, a slightly more flexible Q, Mid/Side capability, and added high and low‑pass filters. These enhancements have made the Chandler Limited Curve Bender EQ equally at home in high-end mixing or mastering studios.
Mastering and More
Although it’s 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 and add air, complexity, weight and mojo with juicy inductor-based flavor. The Chandler Limited Curve Bender plug-in’s ultra-flexible filters can even clean up infrasonic rumble, DC offset, and high-frequency noise. Or place it on your drum or vocal bus for tons of old-school spice and attitude that is unachievable any other way.
“The tone is strong, rock and roll, and has tons of personality. The Curve Bender can deliver a simple one-click notch of air on an organic mix or a healthy amount of low-end thump to punch up an electronic track.”
– Joe Chiccarelli (Jason Mraz, Beck, The Strokes, Morrissey)
“The Curve Bender plug-in has the hallmarks of the original, with the added benefit of M/S processing and channel linking – it sounds amazing!”
– Ryan Hewitt (Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Avett Brothers)
“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.”
– Tony Maserati (Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Jason Mraz)レビュー

I was used to the original Abbey Road plugin TG12345 but since Wave is doing it, it became just nothing special. I find with this Chandler the sound of the original plus some options. Missing from the original is the ability to use the mid range eq as a shelve...please could you do it ? It was the only eq to provide that !!!

I put this on my master bus, and it just added a beautiful sound. Not too dramatic, but definitely made the final touch to mixing so much better. I first used it as a demo, but had to buy it after hearing. Great tool to have

Sounds GREAT!

The best
Beautiful sound
J. Seabrook
Exactly what I wanted...
I was specifically searching for an EQ with vibe and broad tone control that WASN'T a Pultec style, for use in mastering, with mid-side options. The Curve bender does exactly that. It works even better than I hoped it would. Fair warning, I've never used the analog unit, but I'll never have a mastering session where this isn't at least considered. Oh and those highs are so smooth!!!

Refine your already perfect mastering
When everything looks perfect, a little tweaking with the Curve Bender makes the mastering even more perfect!

Chandler Limited Curve Bender Mastering EQ best tonal eq I have used!
An excellent bit of kit that is very accurate when sculpting one’s sound.
J. Rosso
I finally found an EQ that really shapes the sound in a flattering way.
Sounds completely analog to me.
I. YAMADA
Very nice and subtle. However, it would be even better if the variable EQ was a little more clearly defined.
繊細でとても良い。しかし、もう少しEQの可変の効き方がクッキリとしていたら更に良いかもです。
