Palmer PDI-09 vs. Heil PR40 - (AUDIO)
- Thread starter P-oddz
- Start date
I've seen that before Jimmy I was just hoping for an "official" response from Palmer. The plot looks like it could work but I was hoping it would sound more like the PR40. to my ears the tonehammer with the AGS on at minimum is closer than the Palmer
No kidding? I'll tell you though...I would hate to step on that REDDI with an additional layer of EQ or compression. Looks like the Palmer does add a little EQ, though. I would like to start using the PR40 again but I don't want to give up the REDDI, nor do I look forward to arguing with soundmen again.
Very thorough, thanks for the clips!
I think the mic sounds best overall, but I really like the sound of the Palmer on 'Mellow', especially with the pick.
EDIT: Both of my JDIs have the Speaker function. I thought it sounded ok on my 50W tube bass rig when I wanted to capture some power tube compression, but they sounded like crap on my guitar player's Mesa rigs. My ADA Microcab sounded much better.
