Palmer PAN 02

I've used it with electrical guitars for inputing directly into a soundcard and with acoustic guitars for live performances but also for recording. All these applications sounds wonderful.

It is also great that it can be used as a DI box for an amplifier. Don''t forget that if used this way with a tube amplifier a speaker cabinet or a dummy load needs to be connected. Here the -30 dB switch is very handy to attenuate the DI output signal level.

The only drawbacks are:
- A bit noisy when powered through phantom power. This can be fixed if powered with a 9V battery.
- Missing a 9 VDC input for pedalboard friendlyness.
- Choice of -10 dB and -20 dB attenuation wich when both activated would be -30 dB instead of only the option on -30 dB.
