Automat
The Palmer Automat is a delightfully versatile pedal that combines the gritty allure of distortion with the expressive, dynamic sweep of an auto-wah. This dynamic duo delivers a thrilling range of tones, from smooth, singing leads to thunderous, molten riffs. At its heart, the Automat packs the same punchy, harmonically-rich distortion circuitry found in the acclaimed Palmer Pedist. Crank the gain and you'll be rewarded with a towering wall of distortion, perfect for modern metal and hard rock. But dial it back, and you'll uncover a wonderfully responsive overdrive that adds just the right amount of grit and sustain. The auto-wah function is where the Automat really shines, however. By dynamically responding to your picking attack, the auto-wah sculpts your tone with a mesmerizing, rhythmic pulse. It's a sound that's equally at home in funk, blues, and psychedelic passages, allowing you to seamlessly shift from fluid, vowel-like sweeps to sharp, percussive accents. The Automat's sturdy metal enclosure and easy-to-grip knobs make it a reliable workhorse, ready to withstand the rigors of the stage. And with its flexible power options, including a 9V battery, you can take this sonic alchemist anywhere your musical journey leads. Whether you're chasing vintage wah tones or modern high-gain mayhem, the Palmer Automat is a pedal that belongs on every guitarist's pedalboard.
