Palmer Trave Passive Re-Amplification Box(Palmer Trave Passive Re Amplification Box)

Palmer trave Passive Re-Amplification Box

Reamping is a valuable recording technique used by many sound engineers.

It lets you experiment at leisure by running guitar, bass, keyboard, drum and even vocal tracks through amplifiers and effects pedals. As with many other techniques, you need the right tools.

The Palmer trave is a passive reamping box that requires no external power supply. Inside is a specially developed transformer that converts the balanced line signal into an unbalanced Hi-Z signal with perfectly matched impedance for your guitar amplifier or effect pedal. At the same time, the trave prevents ground loops, which are otherwise almost unavoidable when you combine an audio interface or mixer output with a guitar amp or effects pedal. The input of this reamping box allows you to switch between consumer (-10 dBV) and professional (+4 dBu) levels, and the output level is continuously adjustable, so you can drive your amp or pedals just the way you like it.

With the Palmer trave passive re-amplification box, you can add new creative sounds and timbres to your music and ultimately be true to your sound.
