TG-1 is a one-to-one reproduction of the compressor mounted in the legendary EMI TG 12345 mixer that for many years characterized the sound from the equally legendary Abbey Road studio. The TG-1 is the master compressor from this desk, built after what was called the EMI TG12413 Limiter. The story is that it was designed and built at the request of EMI´s technicians, they wanted a compressor that should sound like Fairchild 660/667. However, TG-1 came to sound very different and well the same, because its very own musical "tone" hit right in the heart of everyone who used it, and it came to characterize the recordings in the studio. The TG mixer was exclusively made by and for EMI, and only studios owned by EMI had access to have the mixer and the modules that belonged to it installed.
TG-1 is a stereo / dual mono master compressor that with its very special sound and signature is perfect for adding "nerve" to modern productions
If you listen to it, you know why the sound of the EMI desk was loved! In fact, most of us have heard it many times, on e.g. The Beatles' "Abbey Road" and Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon"… ..
