Thank you for choosing the Palmer FAB5.
Your new amp is an all-tube amplifier with a Class-A design that is especially prized by countless guitarists because of its direct response and
harmonious distortion and is frequently used to record guitar tracks in
the studio. Because of their seemingly low output, single-ended amplifiers are usually pigeon-holed in the practice amp category. In conjunction with the powerful, built-in 10" Eminence Ragin Cajun speaker or an
external speaker cabinet, however, the FAB5's 5 watts reach volume levels
that are thoroughly band- and stage-compatible. Here, it is above all
at high volume levels that the power stage distortion and natural compression preferred by tone aficionados come into their own. These can be
controlled conveniently by means of picking dynamics and with the guitar
volume control. The boost control lets you continually boost the volume
and distortion yet again. This function can be activated via an additional footswitch for various rhythm and solo settings.
In keeping with the practice amp application, one special feature of FAB5
is a built-in power attenuator capable of reducing the volume to a level
acceptable in living rooms and bedrooms. This allows you to use the overdrive of the amp even at drastically reduced levels without alarming your
neighbours or the police.
The FAB5 is built using high-quality components and specially selected
tubes that ensure maximum tone quality and reliable operation. The preamp
uses a 12AX7 (ECC83) tube and the output stage a 6V6; the rectifier is
an EZ81. If you should ever notice signs of wear such as high frequency
loss, reduced output, hum or microphonics, have the tubes replaced only
by a qualified technician.
We hope you have a lot of fun with your Palmer FAB5!

1) BEFORE SWITCHING THE AMP ON FOR THE FIRST TIME
— Make certain that the voltage selected next to the rear panel pow-
er connector of the FAB5 (mains voltage selector) matches the mains
voltage in your country.
— Make certain that the amp is positioned safely and secured.— Ensure sufficient air circulation through the cooling slits of the
FAB5.
PLEASE MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOU READ ALL OF THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL BEFORE YOU BEGIN USING YOUR FAB5!
2) SINGLE-ENDED OR PUSH-PULL
Like tube and diode rectifiers, both "single-ended and "push-pull" amplifiers have a fixed place among guitarists because of their varying
tone characteristics. Both terms actually refer only to the output stage.
Single-ended amplifiers produce a complex, warm tone with distinctive
harmonics, while push-pull amplifiers stand out because of high efficiency, direct response, and high dynamics.
Single-ended circuits usually use only one power tube (or multiple tubes
connected in parallel for higher output). They always run at full power
regardless of whether or not an input signal is present - in other words,
the power tube is always "on". This mode of operation is also called
"Class A".
The push-pull circuit requires a pair of power tubes (or multiple pairs
connected in parallel for higher output). The input signal of a push-pull
amplifier is split into a signal with the same phase as the original and
a signal with the phase reversed by 180°. The two opposing signals now
drive the power tubes alternately, i.e., while one tube amplifies the
in-phase signal ("on"), the tube driven by the phase-reversed signal is
"off". The difference between the two sides is picked up as the output
signal. For this reason, push-pull amplifiers are also referred to as
differential amplifiers. They are usually operated in "Class AB".
The constant alternation produces distortion in the transition area
("on", "off"). Many guitarists love this aggressive, scratchy transition
distortion.
Unlike the single-ended circuit ("always on"), the output transformer of
a push-pull amplifier is not constantly under load. This means that it is
less saturated and attains higher sound fidelity. Push-pull circuits are
also more efficient, since the rest periods of the power tubes ("off")
permit higher output levels when they are "on". However, odd overtones
generated in the output stage are cancelled out by the push-pull function, while they are clearly predominant in single-ended amplifiers.
In the end, the choice is a matter of taste. In the studio, professional
guitarists like to use small single-ended amplifiers, while more powerful
push-pull amplifiers are preferred on stage.

3) WHAT DOES A RECTIFIER DO?
The Palmer FAB5 has a EZ81 rectifier tube.
Rectifiers convert the alternating current from the mains connection into
direct current, which is required by the amplifier circuitry.
Early "classic" tube amplifiers used rectifier tubes that produce an
elastic feeling when playing. The advent of transistor technology resulted in the increasing use of silicon diodes as rectifiers, which produce
a direct, "crisp" response. They are cheaper, more efficient, and easier to integrate in amplifier circuits than tube rectifiers are. Today,
one finds both tube and diode rectifiers in guitar amplifiers and has a
choice; many models even use diode rectifiers that emulate the response
and tone of a tube rectifier.
As a rule, diode rectifiers react more quickly to the high voltage requirements of heavily played notes and chords. The significantly longer
rise time of a tube rectifier at first produces a voltage drop when the
strings(s) are plucked, which is often referred to as "sag" in English.
When the signal decays, the direct voltage increases again. This results
in essentially the same effect as that of a compressor/sustainer. Many
guitarists prefer tube rectifiers because of their quasi "breathing"
response and the possibility of controlling the tone by means of the attack.
The maximum voltage and the rise time, i.e., the duration until the maximum voltage is generated, vary depending on the rectifier tube and type.
A different tube type or a diode plug-in that plugs into the tube socket
can change the playing feel, sound, and performance of an amplifier.
ALWAYS CONSULT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN BEFORE ANY CHANGE - A DIFFERENT
TUBE TYPE OR DIODE RECTIFIER COULD DAMAGE YOUR AMPLIFIER!

4) CONNECTIONS AND CONTROLS
CONTROL PANEL (TOP)
123456
1
INPUT
Connect your guitar to this socket. Use a high-quality instrument cable
for this.
2
VOLUME
This control sets the volume of the FAB5. With single-coil pickups, light
distortion sets in at around the 12-o'clock position, with humbuckers a
little sooner; then the overdrive increases continuously. At very high
settings and with a strong attack, the amp produces the typical, harmonious Class-A crunch with light compression.
3
TONE
This control sets the tone reproduction of the FAB5. At 0, the treble is
reduced, but the sound always remains defined and never becomes excessively muffled or flabby. In the middle position the treble is largely
neutral, and turning the knob further to the right adds edge and presence.
4
BOOST
This control is always activated unless a footswitch (see 11) is connected and increases the volume and overdrive as it is turned to the the
right. In conjunction with the VOLUME control (1), it makes it possible
to adjust the level of distortion and volume of the FAB5 sensitively over
a wide range from clean to crunch to medium gain overdrive.
With a standard footswitch connected to the BOOST socket (11) on the rear
of the amplifier, the boost function can be activated or deactivated.
This makes it possible to set individual volume and distortion levels for
rhythm and solo playing and retrieve them with the footswitch.

IEC POWER SOCKET WITH FUSE HOLDER
Connect the included Euro power cord for powering the FAB5 here. The fuse
holder is built into the IEC socket. Always replace burnt out mains fuses
with the correct 250V type as specified under the socket (T800mAL for
230V mains current, T1.25AL for 120V).
8
MAINS VOLTAGE SELECTOR
Make certain that the voltage selection switch is set to the available
mains voltage.
9
EXTERNAL SPEAKER (8 Ω)
You can use this socket to connect external speaker cabinets; the total
impedance of the connected speakers must be 8 ohms. Depending on the design and configuration of the cabinet, this enables you to attain higher
volume levels, more punch, and various colourations of tone. The built-in
10" Eminence Ragin Cajun speaker is then automatically deactivated.
10
POWER ATTENUATOR
As a special feature, the FAB5 has a power attenuator with three switchable levels that reduce the amplifier with its full output (“Full” position – full 5 Watts)to living room (“Room” position – approx 2 Watts) or
bedroom (“Bedroom” position – approx 0.005 Watts)levels. This lets you
enjoy the harmonious output stage distortion of the FAB5 even late at
night without complaints from your neighbours.
11
BOOST
You can use this socket to connect a standard footswitch that lets you
activate or deactivate the BOOST function (see 4).
11
ENFRDEES
5) TUBE REPLACEMENT, MAINTENANCE, AND CARE
After “burn-in” (initial operation under load) the tubes used in the FAB5
undergo a sophisticated selection process in which their electrical specifications and mechanical characteristics (microphonics) are tested. Additionally, their tone behaviour is tested in an acoustical test in the
finished equipment.
WHEN DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO REPLACE TUBES?
The tubes used in the FAB5 stand out because of exemplary workmanship and
long service life. If a problem should nevertheless occur, before replacing
the tubes, you should first please ask yourself the following questions:
Was the fault or failure caused by the tube itself or perhaps by a peripheral device, e.g., a defective speaker cable as the cause for defective
power tubes? (If the defect is not remedied, the problem could reoccur after the tube replacement.)
Was the mains voltage constant during operation? With all-tube amplifiers,
a breakdown can be caused by a mains voltage surge. Surges occur, e.g.,
with generators or faulty high-voltage circuits.
Is it possible that merely a circuit breaker/fuse has been tripped without
there being a real defect? “Old” circuit breakers/fuses, tube de-ionization, or arcing due to voltage peaks could be the cause. Then it would make
little sense to replace the tubes. After being used for a certain amount of
time, tubes evidence signs of fatigue (increased microphonics, susceptibility to hum, loss of treble, reduced output, etc.). Signs like this necessitate replacement, because they not only lead to decreased sound quality,
but also indicate that the affected tubes are about to fail.
Note: replacing tubes for experimentation purposes is a bad idea. The resulting costs in the event of improper actions can be surprisingly high.
WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN REPLACING TUBES?
Tube replacements should be left to qualified professionals. Before removing the rear panel, the mains plug of the FAB5 must be unplugged and the
equipment must be allowed to discharge for a minimum period of 2 minutes.
Loosen the rear panel screws and pull them out together with the electronics chassis. Take care of the speaker connection when doing so. Now the
tubes can be removed carefully from their sockets. No bias adjustment is
required when replacing power tubes.
IMPORTANT: THERE MUST BE A TUBE IN EVERY TUBE SOCKET!
HOW CAN TUBE SERVICE LIFE BE EXTENDED?
Never operate the FAB5 without a load (speaker)! Thus a high-quality, kinkproof speaker cable is absolutely necessary if you want to connect an external speaker.
Avoid vibration, especially when the equipment is on. Before transport,
turn the amp off and let the tubes cool down.
ENFRDEES
12
A correctly set bias current and heating symmetry (“hum balance”) extend
service life. In case of increased tube wear, these settings should be
checked.
HERE ARE A FEW MORE BASIC RULES YOU CAN FOLLOW TO EXTEND THE SERVICE LIFE
OF YOUR AMP SIGNIFICANTLY:
— Condensation may form inside the equipment if it is suddenly moved from a
cold place to a warm one. This is especially important where tube equipment is concerned. Do not turn the equipment on until it has reached room
temperature.
— Always ensure that any peripheral devices and equipment are technically
flawless!
— Where the FAB5 is concerned, open ventilation slits for unimpeded air
circulation are vitally important.
— Extreme heat and penetration by dust and especially moisture should al-
ways be avoided.
— Always comply precisely with the specifications of additional devices.
Never operate the FAB5 when it is connected to speaker cabinets with an
impedance (ohm rating) that is too low. Never operate the device unless
it is connected to a speaker or an appropriate load. Never connect equipment with a level that is too high (e.g., power amps) to the amp.
— Always check the local mains voltage before connecting the device. In
case of doubt, contact the stage technician, maintenance supervisor, or
the like.
— Do not make “do-it-yourself” repairs in the event of trouble! Even re-
placement of internal fuses is best left to an experienced technician.
6) TROUBLESHOOTING
THE FAB5 WILL NOT TURN ON:
•There is no mains voltage present: verify that the power cord is connect-
ed correctly!
•The mains fuse is defective: replace the mains fuse with a fuse of the
same type with the same rating. If the defect occurs again, you should
contact a PALMER dealer.
•The local mains voltage does not match the operating voltage of the am-
plifier.
THE FAB5 IS CONNECTED CORRECTLY, BUT NO SOUND IS AUDIBLE:
•The guitar VOLUME control is turned all the way down.
•The volume on the amp is turned all the way down!
•The anode fuse has blown. You should contact a PALMER dealer.
THE AMP MAKES “RINGING” NOISES WHEN PLAYING AND TENDS TO FEED BACK
•One or more tubes are microphonic. Have the tubes tested by a technician
and, if necessary, replaced with new tubes of the same type with the same
characteristic.

EINLEITUNG
Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich für den Palmer FAB5 entschieden haben.
Ihr neuer Amp ist ein Vollröhrenverstärker im Class A-Design, das von
zahllosen Gitarristen wegen seiner direkten Ansprache und harmonischen
Verzerrung besonders geschätzt wird und häufig zum Einspielen von Gitarrenspuren im Studio zum Einsatz kommt. Wegen ihrer scheinbar geringen
Leistung werden Eintaktverstärker meist in die Kategorie der Übungsamps
eingeordnet, doch die 5 Watt des FAB5 sind in Verbindung mit dem druckvollen bordeigenen 10” Ragin Cajun von Eminence oder einer externen
Lautsprecherbox durchaus zu band- und bühnentauglichen Lautstärken fähig.
Hier kommen bei höheren Pegeln vor allem die von Ton-Kennern bevorzugte
Endstufenzerrung und natürliche Kompression zum Zug, die sich bequem über
die Anschlagsdynamik und das Volume-Poti der Gitarre steuern lassen. Mit
dem Boost-Regler können Sie Lautstärke und Verzerrung nochmals kontinuierlich anheben; diese Funktion kann über einen zusätzlichen Fußschalter
für unterschiedliche Rhythmus- und Solo-Einstellungen abgerufen werden.
Damit das Üben nicht zu kurz kommt, besitzt der FAB5 als Besonderheit
einen integrierten Power Attenuator, der auf Wohn- und Schlafzimmerpegel
schaltbar ist. So können Sie die Übersteuerung des Amps auch bei deutlich
reduzierten Pegeln nutzen, ohne die Nachbarn oder den Lärmschutz auf den
Plan zu rufen.
Ihr FAB5 ist mit hochwertigen Bauteilen und speziell selektierten Röhren
bestückt, die für höchste Klangqualität und zuverlässigen Betrieb sorgen. In der Vorstufe arbeitet eine Röhre vom Typ 12AX7 (ECC83), in der
Endstufe eine 6V6, als Gleichrichter dient eine EZ81. Sollten Sie einmal
Verschleißerscheinungen wie Höhenverlust, verminderte Leistung, Brummen oder Mikrofonie bemerken, lassen Sie den Röhrentausch nur von einem
qualifizierten Techniker vornehmen.
Wir wünschen Ihnen viel Spass mit Ihrem Palmer FAB5!

an, wenn die Gerätewerte mit den Werten des Stromnetzes übereinstimmen. Wenn das mitgelieferte Netzkabel bzw. der mitgelieferte Netzadapter nicht in Ihre Netzsteckdose passt, wenden Sie sich an Ihren
Elektriker.
25. Treten Sie nicht auf das Netzkabel. Sorgen Sie dafür, dass spannungsführende Kabel speziell an der Netzbuchse bzw. am Netzadapter und der
Gerätebuchse nicht geknickt werden.
26. Achten Sie bei der Verkabelung des Geräts immer darauf, dass das
Netzkabel bzw. der Netzadapter stets frei zugänglich ist. Trennen Sie
das Gerät stets von der Stromzuführung, wenn das Gerät nicht benutzt
wird, oder Sie das Gerät reinigen möchten. Ziehen Sie Netzkabel und
Netzadapter immer am Stecker bzw. am Adapter und nicht am Kabel aus
der Steckdo¬se. Berühren Sie Netzkabel und Netzadapter niemals mit
nassen Händen.
27. Schalten Sie das Gerät möglichst nicht schnell hintereinander ein und
aus, da sonst die Lebensdauer des Geräts beeinträchtigt werden könnte.
28. WICHTIGER HINWEIS: Ersetzen Sie Sicherungen ausschließlich durch Sicherungen des gleichen Typs und Wertes. Sollte eine Sicherung wiederholt auslösen, wenden Sie sich bitte an ein autorisiertes Servicezentrum.
29. Um das Gerät vollständig vom Stromnetz zu trennen, entfernen Sie das
Netzkabel bzw. den Netzadapter aus der Steckdose.
30. Wenn Ihr Gerät mit einem Volex-Netzanschluss bestückt ist, muss der
passende Volex-Gerätestecker entsperrt werden, bevor er entfernt
werden kann. Das bedeutet aber auch, dass das Gerät durch ein Ziehen
am Netzkabel verrutschen und herunterfallen kann, wodurch Personen
verletzt werden und/oder andere Schäden auftreten können. Verlegen
Sie Ihre Kabel daher immer sorgfältig.
31. Entfernen Sie Netzkabel und Netzadapter aus der Steckdose bei Gefahr
eines Blitzschlags oder wenn Sie das Gerät länger nicht verwenden.
ACHTUNG:
Entfernen Sie niemals die Abdeckung, da sonst das Risiko eines elektrischen Schlages bestehen kann. Im Inneren des Geräts befinden sich keine Teile, die vom Bediener repariert oder gewartet werden können.
Lassen Sie Reparaturen ausschließlich von qualifiziertem Service-Personal
durchführen.
