The Chandler Limited RS124 Compressor brings the legendary sound of EMI/Abbey Road’s RS124 compressor directly to your studio. Designed by Wade Goeke and inspired by EMI’s iconic RS124 units, this reissue captures the unique character that made the RS124 a favorite on Beatles recordings. This modern rendition preserves the vintage warmth of the original while adding contemporary controls like adjustable attack, selectable output impedance, and the exclusive ‘SuperFuse’ mode for additional tonal versatility.

Originally developed in 1960 by EMI engineers for Abbey Road Studios, the RS124 was adapted from Altec 436Bs and became essential for tracking, buss compression, mixing, and mastering.
