The Red Eye 3D Phantom is a passive direct box/re-amp box with unique expansion capabilities. The high quality passive direct box in the Red Eye features phase reverse and earth lift. By a push of a button the Red Eye converts into a re-amp box with its own input and output connectors. The re-amp in the Red Eye features earth lift, phase reverse, and level control.

In DI (direct box) mode the instrument / re-amp out on the front of the Redeye 3D works as a thru signal so a guitar amp can be simultaneously feet while supplying a signal from the rear xlr to the mic pre and DAW or a tape machine. In re-amp mode the instrument / re-amp out on the front of the Redeye 3D signal comes from the line level output of the DAW or tape machine (converted to HI z guitar level signal) to feed a guitar amp.

The heart of the original Red Eye was a Little Labs custom wound transformer. This transformer was chosen for its sonic characteristics and is made with the same core material and winding technique as the legendary UTC transformers found in many classic pro audio devices. The Redeye 3D features two of these excellent transformers for simultaneous direct box and re-amping use. The Redeye direct box contains also a very high quality, hi fi, phantom powered, high impedance (1MO or 10MO) instrument buffer. When using the Redeye with sensitive passive or piezo pick ups, this high quality buffer assures no tone change from loading will occur. With active pick ups or the sound of a passive direct box is prefered, the Redeye 3D direct box can be used passively as well.
