Chandler Limited EMI REDD.47 Special Edition Preamp

Chandler Limited EMI REDD.47 Special Edition Preamp

The REDD.47 microphone preamplifier, 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 and Abbey Road Studios are thrilled to announce the Chandler Limited REDD.47 Special Edition Preamp as the next release in their partnership. The REDD.47 Special Edition 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.

PREMIUM NOS AND VINTAGE COMPONENTS

The REDD.47 Special Edition 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. Capacitors include: Siemens and Wima found in vintage EMI and Neve units; German-made ERO and Roederstein that were used in many European designs; famous and exceptional sounding Mullard ‘tropical fish’ capacitors.

ICONIC "NEW" LAYOUT

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 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.
