Hello there, I have been frequenting this forum for years but finally decided to participate in conversation. I have recently decided to get into some home recording and looked into a few options. I have heard a lot of great things about Shure sm57 and thought it was fairly priced but I also had to consider that fact that I live in a apartment. So in order for me to produce the sounds I wanted, I would have to crank my amp. I was recommended to look into the Palmer PDI-09 as an alternative for my particular situation. My current amp setup is a Mark IV and Roadster 2x12. My questions are...
1. What is the purpose of the attenuator on the PDI-09 because I noticed a lot of people buy the Weber Mini Mass to combo with the PDI.
2. I am not really familiar with how it works due to it being such a untraditional product and my lack of recording experience.... From what I understand you plug amp to unit then the thru goes to the cabinet. Then you plug the balance to your recording device. Does that cut the signal to the cabinet? or does the cabinet still produce the sound?
3. I know the Mark IV has a few recording options and direct in built in. I take it most people think it is crap to use? lol
This is all I can really think of as far as questions but I know you guys are quite experienced in most of this. Any suggestions or comments are appreciated. Thanks guys and take care..... Drew :twisted:
