RD47

Intro

RD47 was modeled after one of Abbey Road Studios’ most iconic valve line amps which defined the beautiful sound of the 1960s. If you love both the subtle saturation or aggressive vintage mojo of analog gear feel free to slap it on anything from mic preamps to line outs, send effects, and monitor outs.

Description

RD47 is an authentic recreation of the original EMI REDD.51 console tube line amps signature for the iconic Abbey Road Studios but not without a bunch of modern-day improvements such as increased gain range for extended tonal sculpting allowing for both clean and savage analog saturation. Output trim and release knobs are also featured for extended control over the output level and signal behavior to ensure you can use the unit at any stage of the signal flow. RD47 is a 1960s classic but it can give a new life to any-modern day production, it’s equally impressive when tracking vocals or aggressive rock guitars.

History

The hardware original that inspired us to create RD47 was to be found on anything recorded at Abbey Road’s Studio Two from 1964 to 1968. Look no further than the raw guitar tone of The Beatles’ Revolution and you’ll hear how wild cranking the RD47 can get but thanks to its modern enhancement you can now easily balance between the subtle and the extreme analog color of the unit.
