Chandler Limited's LTD-2 Compressor offers a nostalgic nod to vintage Neve designs, blending new old stock parts with classic circuitry. It provides versatile attack/release options and excels in transient shaping, especially for bass and kick drums. While its interface may seem enigmatic with an unmarked VU meter, its sonic impact speaks volumes. However, this $1400 unit is best suited for experienced users who can navigate its nuances by ear rather than sight. If you're after that sought-after Neve sound and willing to invest time, the LTD-2 is a worthwhile addition to a seasoned engineer's toolkit.
