A Designs REDDI v2

After the genuinely remarkable success in the last few years of their single channel, stand-alone REDDI valve Direct Box, A-Designs now offers the dual-channel REDDI v2 model in a 19 inch 2U rack mountable cabinet.  With exactly the same circuitry as the REDDI, the v2 model uses a single 6N1P dual triode tube for each channel along with a gigantic, custom-wound Cinemag output transformer.
 

Inside the all-steel case is an overspecified toroidal transformer within a shielded and regulated power supply section, with both valves securely mounted in ceramic sockets.  The front panel has a Switchcraft 1/4" Thru jack, gold-pinned Neutrik XLR output and Combo input jacks.  The rear panel houses the IEC power socket and a ground lift switch.

With the same remarkable sound as the original REDDI unit, it's 1 meg-Ohm input impedance preserves the sound of guitars (like a Fender Strat) by not loading down its delicate passive pickups.  With a rack-mounting REDDI, it is easier than ever to hook up and use, and the 2 channel format opens it up to use with synths and electronic keyboards too - try it with a Fender Rhodes Suitcase and drool!  And its cheaper than two standalone REDDI's:)
