Based on numerous customer requests, A-Designs Audio has enhanced the REDDI tube direct injection box with a new feature--the addition of a 1/4-inch 'Thru' jack on the front panel.
The new version of the REDDI now features a 1/4-inch Switchcraft input jack on the faceplate replacing the heavy-duty power toggle switch that has now been relocated to the product's rear panel. Although this addition presented a challenge--the REDDI has very little spare room inside thanks to its 6NIP vacuum tube and massive custom wound output transformer coupled with a toroidal power transformer--A-Designs Audio is pleased to report that this update has in no way altered the sonic 'bliss' offered by the original REDDI.
Housed in a vented metal casing sporting a fire engine red paint job, the enhanced REDDI continues to feature a Neutrik Combo XLR 1/4-inch input connector, balanced XLR output connector, rotary level knob, and ultra-bright blue LED power indicator on its faceplate in addition to the new Thru. Aside from the on/off power switch's new placement, the rear panel likewise continues to feature a ground lift switch and IEC AC power connector.
Great for basses, guitars, keyboards/synths and other electronic instruments that require a direct box, the REDDI consistently delivers a wonderfully transparent sound with a clean and airy high end for both recording and live performance applications.
As always, A-Designs Audio field tests its products before releasing them to the public with notable engineers and musicians like Dylan Dresdow (TEC Award Nominee and Grammy Award nominee for Black Eyed Peas), Ross Hogarth (Grammy Award winner) Viktor Krauss (bassist for Lyle Lovett and renowned studio musician) and Reggie Hamilton (session/live bassist for Babyface, Bette Midler, Seal, etc.) who recently used the REDDI on his bass tracks for the new film Dreamgirls.
US pricing remains unchanged for the new version of the REDDI, which continues to list for $795.00.
