Palmer Speaker Simulator PDI-03 *RARE * 4Ω 2020 - gray

Palmer PDI-03 Speaker Simulator 4 ohm *RARE

Great for 4 ohm Fender Amps (Vibrolux, Tremolux, Bassman etc...)

A lot of great musicians have used the 03's live and in the studio such as Keith Richards, Def Leppard, Mike Campbell & Tom Petty (album Echo), Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, etc. 

The PDI-03 is a very simple to use piece of equipment. Two switches select between 6 filter presets enabling the unit to simulate various types of speakers and enclosures. 

Low frequencies are affected by the three-way DEEP/NORMAL/FLAT switch. In FLAT position the sound is characteristic of an open-back 2 x 12 cabinet. The DEEP position reproduces the typical punch of a 4 x 12 stack. 

The high end is affected by a three-way switch, MELLOW/NORMAL/BRIGHT. When using a heavily overdriven amp, the MELLOW position produces the warm singing “American” sound, whereas the NORMAL position has the bite of the classic “British” loudspeaker. In BRIGHT position, the top end is enhanced lending edge to lead guitar solos and brightness to rhythm parts. Spectacular sounds can be produced by mixing the dry FILTER OUTPUT with the LINE OUTS driving effects units.
