Chandler Limited, in partnership with Abbey Road Studios, has just released a highly anticipated addition to its lineup: the REDD.47 Special Edition Pre Amp. Designed for serious audio professionals and vintage gear enthusiasts, this preamp revives the unmistakable sound of the original EMI REDD.51 console using genuine vintage parts from the '60s and '70s.
At the heart of this unit are rare components—original Piher, ISKRA, Beyschlag, ERO, Siemens, Wima, and even the coveted Mullard "tropical fish" capacitors. These aren’t reproductions; they’re authentic parts that bring the same warmth, color, and punch that engineers have admired for decades.
Built for durability and sonic excellence, the REDD.47 Special Edition also features design elements from the original REDD console, including a classic layout and an EMI lighted sign for visual authenticity. The circuit includes enhancements from the REDD.51 like Input Sensitivity, Line Input, and Bass Lift sections, making it even more versatile.
This release also marks the beginning of Chandler’s new ‘Super Vintage’ line, where select units will showcase original vintage components, clearly labeled for collectors and tone purists alike.
With hand-built craftsmanship and uncompromising attention to detail, the REDD.47 Special Edition is a rare opportunity to bring a truly vintage EMI studio sound into your modern setup.
Pre-orders are open now, and availability will be limited due to the scarcity of vintage components used.
