PALMER PTRINITY MI T-Series – Instrument Selector

The Palmer TRINITY is a 3 into 1 instrument selector for changing guitars without unplugging and the associated noise. Sturdy footswitches select the input channels with individual buffer amps providing up to 12 dB boost to balance instrument levels without changing the amp settings. In addition, the Trinity features a dedicated tuner output.

The FS-10 is a multi-function footcontroller that allows access to all 128 patches plus the tuner function. It operates in three modes: 
Patch Mode – This mode allows you to switch between the three banks of four patches accessible on the front panel of the amp (patches 1-12) in addition to patches 13-128, plus access to the tuner function and the ability to change to the other modes.

Effects mode – This offers individual switching of the effects within a patch, operating more like traditional effects pedals. In this mode the fourth switch is used to control the tap time function. 8.

Navigation mode – Enables access to the complete set of 128 patches stored on the amp. These can be stepped through one at a time, or in banks. Whilst in this mode you can also store patches.

This simple but robust single-channel switch can be used universally. Whenever a change of channel or function via foot switch is required. For example, the PF1 can be used to switch the channel of a guitar amp or activate a particular function on a keyboard. The switch is latching, not spring return. To connect, a standard Mono Jack cable is sufficient.

Designed to work with: ID:Core Stereo 20, ID:Core Stereo 40, ID:Core Stereo 40H and ID:Core BEAM, Connect a Blackstar FS-11 footcontroller (not supplied) to control your ID:Core in one of the following modes: In Alternative Mode (selected via INSIDER) patches will cycle on a ʻloopʼ. e.g. switching up from Bass 2 will move to Clean Warm. When in Manual Mode, the effect of any footcontroller switch will depend on its last state. Pressing Switch 1 will return the amplifier to Patch Mode. Pressing Switch 2 will toggle the effects off and on without returning to Patch Mode.

The Palmer TINO SYSTEM - The clever solution for switching two amps to 1 cabinet

Ambitious guitarists often use two amplifiers in order to obtain different basic sounds. However, transport, space restrictions and the decrease in output associated with PA speakers can be very inconvenient. This is where TINO SYSTEM promises to help. The switcher system allows you to use two amplifiers with only one box as an alternative. Regardless of whether you use tube amplifiers that require getting a load, or transistor models. Even a mixed combination is possible without any problems.

The switch-over between the amplifiers can be operated via a pressure switch on the device or via an optional standard foot switch or switching system. If the switch cannot be done with a switching system, a standard foot switch can be connected to the corresponding 6.3 mm jack. (Requires a switch, not push-buttons!)

TINO SYSTEM routes the guitar signal to the chosen amplifier, while the second unused amplifier is turned off to prevent unwanted interference. (As if the potentiometer on the guitar was switched off). The gain from the instrument input to output is one (Unity Gain). The built-in buffer only converts the impedance, so that a high-impedance guitar becomes less prone to interference. When the guitar signal is switched, the speaker is switched simultaneously, while the speaker output from the mute amplifier is connected to a load (Dummy Load). Therefore, tube amplifiers are absolutely safe from dangerous idling.

If you connect two amplifiers with one another, a heavy buzzing sound often overlays the guitar signal. This undesirable effect is known as ground loop and occurs between mains-operated devices because of double grounding. The TWO IN ONE prevents this from happening by decoupling the outputs to the amplifiers using high-quality isolating repeaters. A sliding switch-over between the amplifiers also ensures that the process occurs click-free and without interruption. The power supply is provided via the supplied 9V power adapter.
