Having viewed countless videos of the Reddi Vs the Noble. I think I'm leaning towards the Reddi. The Nobel sounds more pleasing initially to my ear, but the more I listen the deep lows are almost not as harmonic as the Reddi. The Reddi however has a little bit more mid forward tone. Any Reddi users out there who like to play low subs, can EQ'ing out a little mids dial it back a little?
Just read your thoughts. This is the first I'm hearing about the Noble having separate circuitry, but I know the REDDI definitely does have separate circuitry. The thru is clean.
Noble has 2 tubes, one for xlr and the other one for the 1/4" output; thru port on the reddi is just a y split of the input signal that often goes to the amp for stage monitoring ..
All 3 are great. I wanted to like the Bergantino more as he is coming out with a pedal version of this amp, but the tube units win out. And the one I have (REDDI) is still the one I like best when I hear "shootouts" like this.,.
these boxes don't tend to alter the sound of the instrument, and they're all good example of how a quality clean tube preamp for bass should sounded like ... differences are subtle but audible to my ears .
I like all 3!!! Subtle differences… but to my taste and ear:
1. Noble
2. REDDI
3. Bergantino

Exactly what I was looking for thanks a lot. I'll save my money on the Noble and get a REDDI instead.
all good .. keep saving and pay attention to the used market and see what comes by first ... they are both quality processors .

oh nice .. didn't know they're making a pedal .. that will be interesting .. and I agree 100% with you as a reddi owner myself 🤝
When you don't watch the video, but only listen, there is no difference. Don't listen with your eyes, guys)

Reddi for me wins
