REDDI kicks!

I love the REDDI, only used it for direct bass so far and it sounds great. I am thinking it will work as a direct for other stringed instruments. It is built like the proverbial tank, I have two A designs products and will soon be getting a Pacifica. Looking forward to the combination of the REDDI with the Pacifica. As per usual the advice and support at Sweetwater is always helpful in making a product decision.

Direct Box...or Mic preamp

I like clear clean electric guitar recording.
I prefer tubes in my signal path exclusively.
The reddi recorded sound is exactly like my live sound with a little something extra. Try this thing... a pair is cheaper than a good tube mic preamp. Sound stage, depth of field, wide airy top end...it is all here.
Sure the format is for the birds...rack mount the thing...
my dog thinks it is a fire hydrant.

REDDI DI BOX

Very impressive piece of equipment. We are pumping bass through it into the mixer/PA as we record and practice and it is a pure and saturated fullness of the sound. As a bonus, I plugged my Martin acoustic through it the other night and the guitar has never sounded better.

Reddi

I am not a bass player, and sometimes I have to lay down bass parts myself. I end up spending hours attempting to get the right sound, messing around with amps, mics, boards and processors. Then i got my hands on a Reddi. As soon as I switched on, there it was, that sweet and sparkly sound I needed. The Reddi sound was tube warm with rich harmonics. Then I thought, well if my crappy old P-Bass can sound this good through the Reddi, why not try everything else. In went my Strats, Teles, Les Paul, Jackson, ESPs, ES175, and even my mic'ed up Martin D-35. Then the synths, and tone modules, I even took the output of a Line6 Pod X3 and all were excellent. I wil never record again without my Reddi.
