Great for everything

I am using only Palmer DIs, because of their quality and durability. The active one are more or less for for basses and acoustic guitars. The pasive one I am using for keyboards, and other high level input. They're like the SM57, indestructible! RnR

Great for its price

Long story short (detailed below): if you just want to get started and experiment with a nice overall DI or if you want one but just don't have the cash for a higher priced one, this little guy here can do a great job!

I gave it only 4 stars, because well, it's an entry level DI and of course it can't compete with something more pricey. But the quality you get for the money it's great!

I used it to track electric bass and guitar. The lowest I went was standard B tuning for 5 string bass and drop A for a 7 string guitar. With proper setup of the instruments, the DI did it ways job amazing.

It's not the clearest sounding one, but I've always used short cables, a subtle noise gate before the DI and ran the signal through an expander, compressor and EQ after it. The end result was better than I expected.

As a con, I'd say that by itself it's not crisp enough, but that's something that can be easily fixed.

It is "only" a DI box

It does it`s job very well, I even get excellent feedback on the DI recordings wich is essential when I am Reamping guitartracks.

Palmer is hereforth my go to brand for guitar studioperhapsials until my income has increased, and even then I can imagine sticking woth palmer.

great job guys!
