REDDI is a fire-engine red valve direct box with an unquestionable quality of sound, a truly outstanding hand-built product at a sensible price. During field tests it has been described by recording engineers to be the "best tube DI ever made".
With wider bandwidth and just the right amount of gain, the REDDI stands clear and clean above the competition. The REDDI can be rack-mounted for use with 2 or more units. Great for Basses, Guitars, Synths and electronic instruments that require a direct box for recording, the REDDI is, er, READY to give you unsurpassed sound for a perfect recording or live performance.
A Designs believes REDDI has set a new benchmark for valve direct boxes.

USER COMMENTS:
"I find it pretty versatile in that it makes everything I use it on sound bigger and better--bass, keys, you name it. Sometimes you just stumble across pieces of gear that makes your life easier when it comes to getting a killer sound. The REDDI is one of them." Grammy-nominated engineer Billy Bush, Garbage, The Subways, etc.
"My
initial impression of it was how focused the bass sounded while
remaining fat and warm. It’s also very versatile with a very
wide range – from clean to nicely driven. (In recording) the
bass sounded truly awesome. From clean to warm tube, the REDDI is
true yet character-full and, man, is it focused!"
Paul Turner,
bass guitar with Jamiroquai, Annie Lennox, Tom Jones, Tina Turner,
George Michael, Belinda Carlisle, Kylie Minogue etc.
"I'm
really pleased with the REDDI, its the pride of my equipment fleet. I
just invested in a hard case for it, as I've been cradling it from
venue to venue, and have been getting ridiculed by the crew. They
don't understand the love been a man and his tube DI!"
Max Tite, bass
guitar with Switches
"I found the REDDI to be the most versatile and useful DI I've encountered. It solves a lot of tracking needs in my studio, and adds a new sonic dimension to anything you throw at it." - Ken Morgan, Wireline Studio in Midland, Texas, USA
"Wow! How did you get that sound?" -Ted Perlman, Producer, Engineer, Musician
"The REDDI is not only the largest and brightest colored DI that I've encountered, it's the best sounding." - Russ Long, Pro Audio Review, 11/1/2005
"Now, the REDDI is my favorite DI and definitely my go-to on bass.” - Dylan Dresdow, Grammy Award Nominee, Tech Award Nominee, Engineer
"The New REDDI DI from A Designs kicks ass..." - Ross Hogarth, Grammy Award Winner
"If it needs to be really clean, then I'll just use the REDDI" - Viktor Krauss, Bassist for Lyle Levitt
"I've used a number of DIs on electric pianos over the years, active, passive, tube, solid state, whatever was around. But, I don't remember that any of them worked as well or sounded as good as the REDDI." - Dave Martin, Recording Magazine
"REDDI's first outing was on an active bass. The bass player's head turned as soon as he heard his instrument in the phones. It was an instant hit both in and out of the control room." - Kevin Becka, Mix Magazine
"The REDDI is only the second product I've had in for review [this year] that I sent back and then realized how much I missed it when it was gone." - Dan Richards, Studio Review
"The best way I can describe what REDDI adds is dimension. It reveals a wide range of harmonics in a source, with an excellent translation of an instrument's character. It doesn't have to be blended with an amp signal to sound good. I tried it with electric guitar and bass as well as a synthesizer, and found the REDDI to perform impressively on every source." - Frank Moldstad, Digital Pro Sound
"I didn't use an amp at all. I used only the REDDI and it sounded really, really nice." - Justin Meldan-Johnsen, Bassist with Beck
