The A Designs REDDI V2 Tube Direct Box puts two channels of the legendary REDDI tube sound into a rackmount design built for bass, stereo keyboards, synthesizers, and just about any instrument that could use a little more weight, warmth, and personality.
Inspired by the unmistakable character of the classic Ampeg B-15 bass amplifier, the REDDI V2 combines 6N1P tube circuitry with custom-wound CineMag output transformers to deliver a rich, harmonically complex direct signal without sacrificing clarity or detail. Whether you are tracking bass in the studio, running a stereo keyboard rig, or looking for a premium tube DI for the stage, the REDDI V2 gives you two independent channels of one of the most respected direct-box designs in professional audio. Each channel of the REDDI V2 uses a tube-driven amplifier feeding a custom CineMag transformer, creating the full low end, open top end, and natural harmonic character that made the original REDDI a studio favorite. Its extremely wide 20 Hz to 60 kHz frequency response helps maintain phase integrity throughout the audible range, contributing to a natural, detailed sound with solid low-frequency extension. The REDDI V2 is intentionally not designed as a high-gain device; instead, its gain structure focuses on maintaining signal quality while adding the musical color of its tube and transformer signal path. The two-channel configuration makes the REDDI V2 especially useful for stereo keyboards, synthesizers, electric pianos, drum machines, and other stereo sources, while bassists can use one or both channels for studio and live applications. Each channel provides an input, balanced XLR output, and 1/4-inch thru connection, allowing an instrument signal to be sent simultaneously to the REDDI V2 and an amplifier. This makes it easy to capture a direct tube DI signal alongside a miked amp for greater flexibility when recording or mixing.
