The Redeemer

[grygrx]

Anyone messed with this?

"The REDEEMER circuit has an innovative, new design which beats the specs of everything else in existence – even pre-amps costing hundreds of dollars more. Designed especially for guitar and bass (any instrument with a pick-up) the REDEEMER eliminates tone loss caused by the interaction between your instrument’s electronics and the loading effect of your cable and FX pedals or amplifier. The REDEEMER lets you hear the full spectrum of sound and tone of your instrument. "

Noise floor: -118 db!
Distortion: 0.0009%
Power: operates from 3.6v to 16v

These three do not add up.

Third, by eliminating the back EMF from the outside world into the pick-ups, the strings don't feel the load and they ring-out with better resolution.

B.S.

So you want to know what's inside it? All I can tell you is that it is a Redeemer circuit. It's not a copy of anything that has been done before.

I doubt that very much. It looks to be a simple buffer. Might use exotic parts or a sophisticated circuit topology, but I doubt it really meets the specs above. I'm wary of anything that claims incredible tone improvement. Personally, I prefer passive instruments... the cable loading is part of my sound. But even if I didn't like passive instruments, I certainly wouldn't shell out $130 for this thing.

I saw this in the online version of Musicians Hotline about the redeemer, too -
