Modified to 240v UK. [/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The Khan Audio VTDI is a faithful re-creation of the classic Ampeg SVTDI all tube direct box. It utilizes a single 12AU7 in a unique 2-stage design that maxmizes both the harmonic richness of the tube as well as powerful low-impedance output drive capability.[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Features:[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]All Tube Signal Path 1 x 12AU7 Tube 1/4" Instrument Input with 6dB Pad Switch 1/4" Instrument Thru "Tube Processed" Tube Driven Transformer Balanced XLR Line Output with Ground Lift Power off "safe" mode - works as a passive DI High Headroom Gain Stage Design High Filtered Internal Power Supply Specifications: Input Impedance: 2.2M ohm Max Signal Input: 3v RMS (+10dB) Gain: -10dB to XLR Output Frequency Response: 8Hz - 120KHz +/- 1dB THD (1KHz 0dB Input): .75% Signal to Noise: > -92dB Size: 8.0" x 5.0" x 2.25" Voltage: 120vAC Weight: 4lbs[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Located in Glasgow.

roman_sub Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Wonder how these compare to REDDI... Though I know REDDI's "thru" is unprocessed, unlike here. Anyway, GLWTS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraemeS Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 I haven't had the opportunity to do an A/B comparison with a REDDI, but I think the Khan is altogether a bit rounder and a little less angry sounding. Anybody else have any experience with the REDDI and the Khan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 There's an A/B on youtube between the Ampeg DI (identical valve circuit to the Khan) and REDDI if that helps. I preferred the sound of the Ampeg myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_sub Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I think this is the link to the comparison: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2AuUWLprgU"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2AuUWLprgU[/url] Khan looks like a nice piece of kit, and maybe a few beer tokens less than the REDDI.
