Active/Passive:active
You want to play your guitar or bass through two amps simultaneously. The problem: there's hum. And not just a little, but an unpleasantly loud hum. The Palmer saar Guitar Splitter Box reliably solves this problem. It separates the ground potentials of both amplifiers, thus preventing ground loops, which almost inevitably occur when connecting multiple amps.
The Palmer saar passively passes the input signal to Amp Out 1, while an active FET circuit branches off the signal for Amp Out 2. This happens without any loss of sound quality, because the FET input stage has a very high impedance. Amp Out 2 is also decoupled from the circuit ground via a transformer. This allows you to break ground loops by pressing the Ground Lift switch.
The signal from Amp Out 2 has a low impedance and is therefore less susceptible to interference, so even longer cable runs are possible without any loss of sound quality. An important feature is the Phase Reverse switch for the second output. The signal polarity of guitar/bass amplifiers is not standardized. When operating two amps simultaneously, they can be in phase or out of phase. In the latter case, the sound is thin – which can be remedied by pressing the Phase Reverse switch on the Palmer saar. Of course, you can also use the Phase Reverse function for sound shaping, because sometimes the out-of-phase sound can sound very cool. The Palmer saar is a tool that is as simple as it is effective, with which you can finally enjoy the widescreen sound of two amps – completely without hum and interference.
