Beatles "Revolution" Redd 47 DI

I used my Dizengoff D4 clone of The Beatles Redd 47 console preamps to capture the tone of the guitar from "Revolution." I am sharing that and one with the gain turned up a bit extra just for fun. It's an awesome sound!!! Pure EF86 bliss! I have tried this with other preamps and they just don't come close. There is something about that Redd 47 circuit that lends itself incredibly well to overdriven DI guitar! The Beatles captured a bit of magic.

Try pairing it with a cab too. It has SUCH a cool sound as a preamp section paired with a cab! Get creative and enjoy!

I don't have two D4s, so what I did was run into the mic input instead of the high z input and push the output from the Kemper, then cranked the gain on the D4. This is virtually the same effect as cascading two units. These pres are very surprisingly clean and high-fi until they hit the point of distortion, so cascading the units doesn't really do much to color the sound particularly, but more to do with driving the second unit into distortion. By using the mic input and pushing the output from the kemper, it achieved the same effect. In fact, I played right alongside the recording and was SHOCKED at how incredibly similar it sounded. I didn't expect it to be that close!
