All user reviews for the Palmer FAB5

Small amp single channel all-tube for the rest see data sheet but noted that it has a power attenuator to the splitter in 5w and 0.5w 2w to enjoy the lights without disturbing the neighbors.

UTILIZATION

This is a well thought out amp (I refer specifically to the effectiveness of its Tone), well built (quality with impeccable finishes) and not suffering from any hum or excessive noise.

The amp is very easy to use and its Boost knob is very convenient.

This is not a versatile amp, and being very distinctive vintage ideal for rock blues, jazz see.

SOUNDS

It falls in line with the US amps, but it does not benefit from its crytallin great clarity of a Fender. This is a more mellow sound, devoid of aggression, with a nice warm color.

It has clear sound full and rich but also able to saturate for a rock record, although my preference is to crunch which is a treat.

OVERALL OPINION

Great amp either with a Tele, a Les Paul Studio DC P90 or a half body Swingster.
However, that lacks a bit of aggressiveness, for my taste. Otherwise to be really perfect, a second channel and a spring reverb built and there it would be great.
