All user reviews of 5/5 for the Palmer Pocket Amp

This is a simulated amp / HP direct box
XLR output (at the top) an AUX input (for MP3) and an output jack (useless)
Case very pretty and inspiring confidence, a trap for the battery (easy)
On a multitude of available settings panel.
Yes there is a headphone output, otherwise it would not be a PocketAmp

UTILIZATION

There frankly, no worries. It will take a few minutes to find happiness after and let's rock

SOUND QUALITY

it sounds! Fenderien crunch to saturated HiGain a Mesa, anything is possible.
I served with TELE and ECLIPSE, it will sound differently depending on the microphones used that goes without saying.

OVERALL OPINION

Before I had a Vox amPlug, but that was before. For 20aine € more, you have opportunities galore. What pleases me most is this gold-plated XLR output. The sound is top!

No need to go over the features.
Attention, there's not a pedal drive or DI, but actually is a minimalist analog preamp with a symmetrical XLR output. do not forget the relatively low price, headphone jack and with the average level of output, the symmetrical XLR output is excellent, this is how I use it.

UTILIZATION

Extremely simple configuration. easy edition of sounds, equalization is effective but does not allow you to color the sound too much. no need to book.
Overall it must still that three preset preamp you like the base (U.S., Brit or Tweed), and 3 modes (clean, crunch, distortion), little ability to sculpt the sound.
The emulated ogutput is the same as that of PDI09 (which I own), so better than my AMT SS11B and worse than my Pedaltone Koch.
Warning this is a preamp. So, even as the AMT and the Koch SS11B Pedaltone, once connected, it is active, so the switch (with red LED) only allows to engage the drive ...

SOUND QUALITY

The one enters a subjective judgment ... and also in a matter of practice ...
Use for me in a home studio, the symmetrical XLR output in my sound card, good output level, no breath.
It was for me to find a stereo configuration independent preamp not too expensive to exploit some of my stereo effects with my guitars (Boss Dimension C, eventide space, zoom and other MS 100BT). So use exclusively in its clear and I have two amp pocket ...
The result is quite up to my expectations for this purpose, the clean sounds are quite successful, respond well to the attack, much more convincing to me than any numerical simulation or software. The fact of having two and work in stereo allows me to grow and spatialized sound like I want. The us has a right, a left tweed, or different EQing right and left ... It accepts pedals very well that I mentioned above, and also my pedals low drive (808 expandora, big muff, rat, TRex alberta ...), this is just to spend a little time to fully adjust levels.
To drive and crunch sounds and saturated the beast part, I am more measured, it is through my ears (hard to fight with the AMT and Koch), but I did not take to it.

OVERALL OPINION

Very good product, very well designed and cheap, excellent value for money. Used regularly for nearly two years. To try it even if you can whether proposed by the preamp grains you like and fit your use. Priviligier use with a balanced output.
I also possesses a SS11B AMT, a Koch Pedaltone and Palmer Eins.
What I like the most, the ability to have a good stereo preamp configuration for less than 150 € ... and I have two ...
PS: I wrote this review for the previous opinion perspective. It takes time to tame and understand the machine (especially management levels and symmetrical output). I was also disappointed at first, but now I could not do without.

pedal solid aluminum frame design super massive
switch very small but quality Palmer
anyway there is no need to spend time to actuate
This is a pedal that does not extinguish

UTILIZATION

all orders have a very satisfying, serious acute setting is very convincing, setting the output level as
the headphone jack is great for fun at home without waking the whole building

SOUND QUALITY

the sound quality is bluffing
for a guitarist on a budget like me this is a gift that is firm Palmer
for me there will be before and after
the grain is beautiful, with sound group is amazing in every genre that I practice (reggae, rockab 'blues song ...) my guitar is more audible, piercing and effective
if you play piano sound is clear with grain, if we play that high saturated with a crunch as it should
dual output is very convenient: a jack to the amp, xlr to the front

OVERALL OPINION

I had a Zoom G2 with lots of amp simulations, it was not terrible
there is just exciting
report excellent price / quality
I probably will never be a thing tube unless I put my kids on the street so for me it's just a blessing to find such a pedal that I found a new way to understand the instrument and its place in group
just light after darkness

Your connection is complete and even includes an XLR to attack a console or a sound card input without losing frequency.

It also has a headphone output.
9 parameters determines the sound and the type of grain.

3-position connector for sound like Fender, Marshall or Mesaboogie.
Then a 3-position connector for a clean, crunch or lead.
Finally the microphone position relative to the baffle.

This is the analog amp simulation pedal format's most comprehensive yet.
The footswitch on top is fake, it's a shame.
The pedal is placed next to my PC and I use it by hand.

UTILIZATION

It quickly finds its appropriate.
Just play with the connectors and equalization is really influential.

Extremely simple and very versatile.
Parameters provide a real difference and it is possible to have sound with very different characteristics.

Tools ideal for experimentation.

SOUND QUALITY

The grain and very credible.
I can compare it to the pedals and effects that I have:
Line 6 pod
Vox ToneLab
Software th1
Pedal Fender and Marshall character set.

The palmer gives me the most satisfaction.
I don 't write that rarely notice but I would like to share my discovery with all guitarists who want a serious solution to record PC without headaches.

The grain is very good clear sound and lets the guitar breathe.
The sound is dynamic and alive with the character sets of pedals Tech 21.

The crunch with lespaul are great! We really like playing on a real amp.
The sound is analog, realistic and warm.

With a stratocaster is downright excellent.
It adds a reverb or delay to give a little depth and the grain starting taking off.
The lead sound great and also the simulation Mesaboogie is successful.

Why was it so difficult to get this product before?
The sound is alive contrary to what is obtained with software or numerical simulations.
Change the position of the microphones is a real plus that fundamentally changes the sound.
This is what is lacking in most analog amp simulation.
It's simple and effective.

The sounds are musical.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 months and younger get enough.
To record live models I have not found better.
I would buy the same preamplifier at Palmer if he came out a more pro rack model.

But I am totally amazed of value for money and I regret having put money on that stuff after 3 months of use I like the POD and disappoint others.
Crunch and clean sounds are more difficult to obtain in general but with the pocket amp settings and comprehensive is easy.
I recommend this purchase to anyone looking for a credible and dynamic sound.
A great companion for my guitars.

It is an amp simulator pedal format, metal box very strong.
The pedal is quite small (10cm square)

At the level of available settings were:
-A switch to select the amp
Tweed (Fender amp typed)
Britt (Marshallian)
U.S. (Mesa style)

-One to select
Clean
Crunch
High Gain

-One to select a microphone position
Off X
Center
Classic

And a switch-GND (for ground), but I did not understand what it is for this one.

In total we made 27 it sounds different, which is not bad.

There are also the volume knob, drive, treble and bass.

Level connections we have:
In and out in jack
An out-XLR (not tested)
-An output for headphones
-For an entry.

So it is quite comprehensive, hard to beat for the price.

It runs on battery or mains (power supply not included, of course)

It deserves a 10, but I take off a point because the switch to trigger the saturation is very small in the context of regular use I do not think he can hold out long enough

UTILIZATION

Configuration simple, one chooses his amp, mode and the microphone position, it evens out and presto it's done.
The manual is not used much, it is as small as the pedal and does not offer examples of settings.

SOUND QUALITY

I use it mostly with distortion, to obtain sound style Tool / Rammstein / ...

I like that part
Fender Tele - Dunlop Wah - Kustom Defender.

The sounds are good, the pedal is very versatile.
May be missing a knob for the mids, it's a shame.
My favorite sounds: Britt Crunch mode with the drive to the bottom, treble at 6 / 7 and bass at 5, U.S. High Gain mode, drive to 8, 7 treble and bass 7.

The pedal tends to blow a bit with the drive fully (normal), other than that nothing to report.

The sounds that I dislike: the position of micro "classic", which gives an old radio effect ...

Another thing, the headphone jack is really good, no surprises at this level.

Oh, I almost forgot, she is very responsive to volume knob! For once I have a distortion pedal that allows me to switch from clean to saturated with just my knob, I'm glad I use

OVERALL OPINION

past two weeks, I tried the Vox amPlug in m ^ me kind of product, but there for a little more expensive is 1000 times better and more convenient.

I like: the sounds, the strength, full connectivity, the reduced size, price

Like least: the switch, the lack of midrange control.

For 73 € thotho home, go ahead
