Description

The Palmer MI POCKET AMP MK 2 – Portable Guitar Preamp is currently retailing at £85 and it is out of stock. Available to be delivered to you by post direct (some charge may apply).The team at Just Pedals think that Palmer nailed it with the Palmer MI POCKET AMP MK 2 – Portable Guitar Preamp.

In its new incarnation, the Palmer Pocket Amp MK 2 delivers an extended range of authentic tube amplifier tones from high headroom ultra clean to maxed out high gain distortion. With 3-position selector switches for amplifier design, gain structure and loudspeaker miking simulation the MK 2’s hot rodded circuitry lets you easily configure vintage and modern sounds as well as your own while high performance op amps provide superior S/N ratio. For even more flexibility the Pocket Amp MK 2 sports master controls for drive and output level plus a 2-band EQ that has been carefully tailored for guitar applications.

Featuring a durable die cast aluminium enclosure with balanced XLR and unbalanced 6.35 mm outputs in addition to 3.5 mm AUX input and headphones jacks the Palmer Pocket Amp MK 2 is more than just the go-to tool for direct recording. It doubles as a practice amp, overdrive and distortion pedal, standard guitar DI box when bypassed and replaces your stage amp when used with a sound and monitor system. The Pocket Amp MK 2 works on a 9V battery or optional power adapter, e.g. Palmer PW9V.

Amp

An amp pedal, often referred to as an amp simulator pedal or amp modeling pedal, is a type of effects pedal designed to emulate the sound and characteristics of various guitar amplifiers. By using digital or analog processing, these pedals replicate the tonal qualities, gain stages, and tonal response of different types of amplifiers, such as vintage tube amps, high-gain modern amps, or classic solid-state models.

Amp pedals are typically used to shape a guitarist’s tone without needing to rely on multiple physical amplifiers. They offer a range of preset or adjustable sounds that mimic the effects of different amp types, including their distinctive overdrive, distortion, and EQ settings. Some amp pedals also include additional features like cabinet simulations, which mimic the sound of different speaker cabinets, and built-in effects like reverb and delay. This makes them a versatile tool for achieving a variety of tones and sounds, whether in a practice setting, recording studio, or live performance, providing convenience and flexibility in a compact form.

Preamp

A preamp, short for preamplifier, is an electronic device used to amplify weak signals from guitars, microphones, or other audio sources before they are sent to a power amplifier or recording device. Preamps serve several important functions in audio systems:

1. **Signal Boosting**: The primary function of a preamp is to increase the level of weak signals to line level, which is the standard level used in audio equipment. This boost ensures that the signal remains strong and clear throughout the audio chain, minimizing noise and distortion.

2. **Tone Shaping**: Many preamps feature tone controls such as EQ (equalization) knobs or switches, which allow users to adjust the frequency response of the signal. This can include boosting or cutting specific frequencies to tailor the tone to the desired sound.

3. **Impedance Matching**: Preamps often include input and output impedance controls to match the impedance of the source device (e.g., a guitar pickup) with the impedance of the connected equipment (e.g., an amplifier or mixer). Proper impedance matching ensures optimal signal transfer and prevents signal degradation.

4. **Coloration and Character**: Some preamps are designed to impart a specific sonic character or coloration to the signal, adding warmth, richness, or saturation. This can be achieved through the use of vacuum tubes, transformers, or other analog components known for their unique sonic characteristics.

5. **Gain Staging**: Preamps play a crucial role in gain staging, which involves managing the levels of audio signals at each stage of the signal chain to optimize signal-to-noise ratio and prevent distortion. By adjusting the gain or volume controls on the preamp, users can control the overall level of the signal before it reaches subsequent stages of processing or amplification.

6. **Phantom Power**: Many preamps provide phantom power, which is required to power condenser microphones and certain active DI (direct input) boxes. Phantom power is typically supplied at +48 volts and is transmitted through the microphone cable to power the microphone or DI box.

Preamps are commonly found in a variety of audio equipment, including guitar amplifiers, mixing consoles, recording interfaces, and standalone preamp units. They are essential for ensuring clean, clear, and balanced audio signals in both live sound reinforcement and studio recording applications. Additionally, dedicated guitar preamps are available as standalone units or built into amplifiers, offering guitarists additional control over their tone and signal chain.
