Chandler Limited recreates the REDD.47 preamp

The REDD.47 originally appeared in 1958 as a replacement for the Telefunken V72S. It was designed as a multifunction line amplifier for the REDD.51 console that equipped the Abbey Road Studio Two and was used during the recordings of the Beatles’ albums between 1964 and 1968, and specially for Revolution.
