3-EASY is the economy version of Palmer's TRIAGE router. Featuring the renowned quality of our T-Series it switches the input signal (e.g. that of a guitar) between 3 outputs. For increased dynamic response and headroom the 3-EASY steps up the 9V power supply to approx. 30V.
Product Ref: 20252
Switching is silent and instantaneous. This is achieved by processor controled long-life microswitches while the actual footswitches serve as mechanical triggers only. Input and outputs are set to unity gain while output is lo-Z to prevent signal loss in FX chains and long cable runs.
Outputs 1 + 2 are floating and electrically isolated by a high quality transformer to eliminate ground loops (most competitors sell this feature as an accessory only). Since guitars need to be grounded for proper shielding output 3 is not isolated. When using this to connect a battery powered tuner output 1 can be grounded via a sliding switch. The discrete Class A FET input amplifier is similar to the input stage of a hi-Z tube amplifier.
Due to increased power consumption the 3-EASY is not battery operated, and it comes without a wall wart since most pedal boards feature a 9V power supply. Palmer power supplies are available as accessories - the single output PW9V, or the universal pedal board power unit PWT12 with 6x 2 isolated outputs.
