Anyone ever mess with the palmer pdi09 ?

[dawnofdreamx97]

Thinking of grabbing one for going direct live and mic'ing the cab up. I feel like it would keep things more consistent, question is how do they sound ?

Let me know if you rock one... thanks!

 

[dawnofdreamx97]

Yes I love it.

very cool so i'm guessing it sounds good ?

how do you deal with phase issues? meaning live, or recording, is it usually out of phase with the cabinet mic's ? I'm thinking of blending the palmer with mic/mics

I use it primarily for recording, so no phase issues there. The one time I was able to use it live (read: Soundguy at the club knew what it was). The friends I had there (who also play guitar) said my sound was thick and punchy. But I also play Diezel so that may have helped

It's also been doing some good things in the studio where flipping the phase is super easy.

very cool and it does hi gain stuff well i take ?

Yes. I have always kept one in my gig bag just in case sound guy couldn't mic - now as a back up to my LIVE.

I used one or sometimes two of them, before the Two Notes came along. If you are using it for DI on just one amp/cab, there won't be any phasing issues. To me, they get a better DI tone than the Radial JDX. Like David said, its a good tool to keep in the bag.
