Chandler Limited REDD .47 Special Edition Pre Amp

How does one recreate the unique sound of vintage EMI studio equipment? By meticulously integrating original vintage parts with Wade Goeke's re-nowned designs. The result is the new REDD.47 Special Edition Pre Amp, a testament to years spent sourcing and collecting authentic components. Wade has incorporated these rare parts into a pre amp that authentically captures the unparalleled sounds that defined an era. Designed for a lifetime of use, this unit is not only a sonic powerhouse but a lasting investment. The REDD.47 Special Edition Pre Amp marks the beginning of a wider "Super Vintage" line from Chandler Limited. Future designs will also feature vintage parts, clearly marked by a "Super Vintage" label on the back panel.
The REDD.47 Special Edition Pre Amp is built with new old stock and vintage parts from the '60s and '70s. Featured resistor types include: (1) Piher resistors which were used in vintage EMI and Neve gear as well as in Marshall amps. (2) ISKRA resistors found in early Marshall and other English-made amps; and (3) German-made Beyschlag and ERO/Roederstein that were used by many UK and European manufacturers of the time.
Beyond its internal components, the REDD.47 Special Edition features a new layout that mirrors the iconic look and feel of the original REDD console cassettes, complete with the new EMI lighted sign, a hallmark of many vintage EMI consoles. While retaining the core REDD.47 circuit path, this Special Edition comes with the addition of the Input Sensitivity, Line Input and Bass Lift sections from the REDD.51 console.
Featured vintage capacitors include
- Siemens and Wima found in vintage EMI and Neve units
- German-made ERO and Roederstein that were used in many European de-signs
- the famous and exceptional sounding Mullard "tropical fish" capacitors

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
