Chandler Limited® Zener-Bender (upgrade from Chandler Limited Zener Limiter)

Chandler Limited® Zener-Bender from Softube brings characterful EQ and punchy dynamics together in one channel strip. This upgrade is specifically for existing owners of Chandler Limited Zener Limiter. Combining the Curve Bender Mastering Equalizer with the Zener Limiter, it pairs crisp tonal shaping with powerful compression, limiting, and tasteful distortion. Use it to refine a mix’s balance, add weight and impact, or push material toward a more coloured vintage sound. Softube’s component modelling draws on Chandler hardware with roots in the EMI consoles used at Abbey Road. Beyond that analogue heritage, the native plug-in adds external sidechain input, Mid/Side processing, and channel linking for flexible control. It suits home producers and mix engineers who want musical mastering-style EQ and bold dynamics in a focused workflow, with room for both subtle adjustments and stronger sonic character.
