Overview

While most DI Boxes are meant to be transparent, the A Designs REDDI Tube DI is a different beast because it colors the sound.

It is designed to reproduce the sound of the classic Ampeg B15 bass amplifier, and it does so with the help of a genuine 6NI-P tube at its core.

Being a DI Box, it does all this without the bulk of an actual tube bass amplifier, and with the convenience of going straight to PA systems or recording consoles.

While it works well with bass guitars, REDDI is also equally viable for use with synths, keyboards, electric guitars, and other instruments - it's especially good for adding analog touch to home studios / venues that have mostly digital equipment.
