German audio company Palmer has announced the Acoustic Pocket Amp, a combined effect pedal and preamp for use with acoustic instruments.
The new offering boasts three instrument modes (acoustic guitar, acoustic bass, magnetic pickups) and three selectable basic sounds (flat, modern, vintage). A mono line input (6.3 mm jack) with a switchable –12dB attenuator facilitates the processing of both passive and active instrument pickups. Outputs include a 6.3 mm jack output for connection to an amplifier or a PA, a thru output for tuning devices and a balanced XLR DI output.
