Chandler REDD.47 Special Edition Preamp
The REDD.47 microphone pre-amplifier, originally introduced as the all-purpose amplifier for EMI's legendary REDD.51 mixing console, quickly earned 'holy grail' status among engineers for its uniquely punchy and aggressive sound. Today, Chandler Limited and Abbey Road Studios are thrilled to announce the new REDD.47 Special Edition Pre Amp as the next release in their partnership.
How does one recreate the unique sound of vintage EMI studio equipment?
By meticulously integrating original vintage parts with Wade Goeke's renowned designs. The result is the new REDD.47 Special Edition Pre-Amp, a testament to years spent sourcing and collecting authentic components. Wade has incorporated these rare parts into a pre amp that authentically captures the unparalleled sounds that defined an era. Designed for a lifetime of use, this unit is not only a sonic powerhouse but a lasting investment.
The REDD.47 Special Edition Pre Amp marks the beginning of a wider 'Super Vintage' line from Chandler Limited. Future designs will also feature vintage parts, clearly marked by a 'Super Vintage' label on the back panel.
The REDD.47 Special Edition Pre Amp is built with new old stock and vintage parts from the '60s and '70s.
Featured resistor types include:
- Piher resistors which were used in vintage EMI and Neve gear as well as in Marshall amps.
- ISKRA resistors found in early Marshall and other English-made amps
- German-made Beyschlag and ERO/Roederstein that were used by many UK and European manufacturers of the time.
Featured vintage capacitors include:
- Siemens and Wima found in vintage EMI and Neve units
- German-made ERO and Roederstein that were used in many European designs
- The famous and exceptional sounding Mullard 'tropical fish' capacitors.
Beyond its internal components, the REDD.47 Special Edition features a new layout that mirrors the iconic look and feel of the original REDD console cassettes, complete with our new EMI lighted sign, a hallmark of many vintage EMI consoles. While retaining the core REDD.47 circuit path, this Special Edition comes with the addition of the Input Sensitivity, Line Input and Bass Lift sections from the REDD.51 console.
