Fuchs Audio Technology has recently released the FTDI-1, a new studio and sound reinforcement product. It’s the first in a series of products that the company is working on. The upcoming lineup includes a mic preamp and other pro-sound products currently in development.
Andy, a musician with decades of experience, has been servicing and tweaking guitar and bass amps for many well-known clients ranging from Carlos Santana to Jimmy Herring, jazz legends like Dave Stryker and Vic Juris for over 40 years. Fuchs has an impressive list of reviews and endorsers over the past 20 years.
The Fuchs FT-DI is a tube DI unit that provides tube warmth in a compact size that is ideal for pedalboards. It runs on 9-volt power and uses a switch mode power supply to increase the incoming 9 volts to 300 volts, ensuring the tube runs at the proper “True High Voltage.” It features the widely used 12AX7 tube and ships with selected low-noise Ruby Tubes. The FTDI-1 is made in America and is one of the most affordable units in the market at $599.00 MAP.
The FTDI-1 includes a quarter-inch input and a ¼” buffered “through” output, as well as an Edcor transformer balanced output, all with Neutrik connectors. Despite its small and lightweight design, it features a lit window that displays the 12AX7 audio tube. It’s powered by a regulated switch-mode power supply, making it compatible with any pedal power supply that can provide 500ma at 9 volts. Overall, the FTDI-1 is small, cool running, low noise and delivers musical sound quality.
