For footswitchable "effect pedal" use you need a loop switcher (refer to
the switcher manual for connection. The loop connectors are mostly la-
belled "send" and "return", or "receive". The former is the loop out which
connects to the EINS input, the latter are the loop ins and connect to the
hi-z output). Note: some stompboxes feature a built-in effects loop which
can be used to kick in the EINS along with the pedal itself–experiment!
11) SPEAKER OUTPUTS
This is where you connect speaker cabinets to the EINS.
Using a quality loudspeaker cable with 1/4" plugs, connect the 8Ω out-
put to a cabinet rated at 8 ohms, OR connect the 16Ω output to a cabinet
rated at 16 ohms.
If you don't require insane amounts of clean headroom and running into
highly efficient speakers, the EINS can easily hang with a subdued bass
player and toned-down drummer rhythm section. You may also daisy chain
cabinets to either output provided the final ohms load matches that of
the output used.
Caution: Never use the 8Ω and 16Ω outputs simultaneously!
3) TUBE OPTIONS
The Palmer EINS default tube complement consists of an ECC83 preamp tube
(V1) and ECC82 (V2) power tube. For different breakup and response char-
acteristics you may also use the complements below:
a) ECC83(V1) and ECC83(V2)
b) ECC83(V1) and ECC81(V2)
c) ECC81(V1) and ECC82(V2)
d) ECC81(V1) and ECC83(V2)
–less volume, highest gain and earlier
breakup for lead sounds
–less volume than default but more than
(a), higher gain and earlier breakup
–more clean headroom, darker distortion
sound
-lowest volume of all, breaks up later
than (a), extremely precise distortion
control
