1 —  Introduction

Welcome to the TG12413 Limiter Plug-in. 

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”, and Paul McCartney. Now, the TG12413
Limiter Plug-in brings the same unique and authentic sonic possibilities to the world of 
Digital Audio Workstations. 

The TG12413 Plug-in is actually two Plug-ins in one, letting you choose between classic 
and contemporary versions of this legendary compressor/limiter: 

TG12413 1969

The TG12413 (1969) Plug-in is a recreation of the classic TG12413 Limiter
used in custom EMI and Abbey Road recording and mastering consoles from the 
late 60’s and 70’s.  

TG12413 2005

The TG12413 (2005) Plug-in is a recreation of the Chandler Limited TG1 Compressor. The 
Chandler TG1 was remade from the original design information and circuit board
drawings as provided by Abbey Road and EMI to ensure extreme authenticity! 

The TDM and LE Versions
The TG12413 Plug-in is available in TDM, RTAS, and AudioSuite versions and is
supported on Pro Tools HD, Pro Tools LE, and Pro Tools M-Powered systems (and
