Zouzou52 « it does the job! »
Published on 10/07/11 at 04:45I had just acquired a 60 Fireball and Engl E212VH cab, and there was everything to go: the sound, dynamics, power, in short, everything I was looking for some time.
Only problem: playing at home without having to use hearing protection and without bringing down the wall of the neighbor across the street.
It occurred to me that the best solution was to go through an attenuator. I started looking for the object and I quickly came across this Palmer: attractive price (200 euros) compared to other models of the genre (and koch THD) and very good advice on other branded products but nothing on this one ... I said, "I try to buy blind!"
Well I do not regret at all, connected between the power amp and HP gear has done its job: 5 steps to mitigate progressive sending the desired power to the HP, the surplus is converted into heat. In addition it has a load function and a bypass box.
I did not notice any loss of sound quality, all frequencies are made, the only difference comes from the fact that chamber volume, there is not enough potatoes for the V30 can enter my cab enough to vibrate and give everything they have to offer.
So, in conclusion that Palmer is a very good compromise for those who want to take the power of its tube amp without tearing their eardrums, it allows in addition to not buy the stuff for the house, you can keep your amp and be used in all situations.
