Analogue Addicts UK REDD 47 Chandler / Altec VARI MU RS124 2025 EMI Tube Preamp & Compressor Abbey Road

I briefly had a Chandler REDD unit, and while I did not own them at the same time, this and the Chandler definitely sound similar, although I would not say one sounded better than the other. Of course, you also get a KILLER compressor alongside this one. If you’re not familiar with this brand, Analogue Addicts UK, look them up. Great work, very legit analog tube warmth and fidelity. If you’re looking for the Abbey Road sound, you’ve come to the right place. This works perfectly. I bought it new less than a year ago and it has sat in a rack at my house powered by a Radial power conditioner. The preamp and compressor can be used independently or linked together (see the link switch on the front and the various inputs and outputs on the back). There is also a 48v switch on the front for anything that requires phantom power. It offers both XLR and 1/4” inputs. I’ve recorded vocals, guitar, and bass direct into it and it all sounded amazing. Look up the song “Queen of Hearts” by The Lanterns. All the guitars, bass and vocal were recorded with this. I need money to get out of a financial crunch. I will most definitely miss this! I just ordered a little power source for my pedalboard from the UK that cost $100 and the taxes and duties cost me $62. I think you’d be paying close to $400 in taxes and duties for anything over $2500, in addition to whatever you pay in shipping. So save some money here!
