«  Excellent grain and good for recording on PC. »

Published on 03/11/12 at 06:47
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.
