19. Clean the equipment using a dry cloth.
20. Comply with all applicable disposal laws in your country. During disposal of packaging, please separate plastic and paper/cardboard.
21. Plastic bags must be kept out of reach of children.
FOR EqUIpMENT ThAT CONNECTS TO ThE pOwER MAINS:
22. CAUTION: If the power cord of the device is equipped with an earthing contact, then it must be connected to an outlet with a protective
ground. Never deactivate the protective ground of a power cord.
23. If the equipment has been exposed to strong fluctuations in temperature (for example, after transport), do not switch it on immediately.
Moisture and condensation could damage the equipment. Do not switch
on the equipment until it has reached room temperature.
24. Before connecting the equipment to the power outlet, first verify
that the mains voltage and frequency match the values specified on
the equipment. If the equipment has a voltage selection switch, connect the equipment to the power outlet only if the equipment values
and the mains power values match. If the included power cord or power
adapter does not fit in your wall outlet, contact your electrician.
25. Do not step on the power cord. Make certain that the power cable
does not become kinked, especially at the mains outlet and/or power
adapter and the equipment connector.
26. When connecting the equipment, make certain that the power cord or
power adapter is always freely accessible. Always disconnect the
equipment from the power supply if the equipment is not in use or if
you want to clean the equipment. Always unplug the power cord and
power adapter from the power outlet at the plug or adapter and not
by pulling on the cord. Never touch the power cord and power adapter
with wet hands.
27. Whenever possible, avoid switching the equipment on and off in quick

service centre.
29. To disconnect the equipment from the power mains completely, unplug
the power cord or power adapter from the power outlet.
30. If your device is equipped with a Volex power connector, the mating
Volex equipment connector must be unlocked before it can be removed.
However, this also means that the equipment can slide and fall down
if the power cable is pulled, which can lead to personal injuries
and/or other damage. For this reason, always be careful when laying
cables.
31. Unplug the power cord and power adapter from the power outlet if
there is a risk of a lightning strike or before extended periods of
disuse.
CAUTION:
Never remove the cover, because otherwise there may be a risk of electric
shock. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Have repairs carried
out only by qualified service personnel.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
„dangerous voltage“ within the product‘s enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock.

Hearing damage due to high volume and prolonged exposure: When in use,
this product is capable of producing high sound-pressure levels (SPL)
that can lead to irreversible hearing damage in performers, employees,
and audience members. For this reason, avoid prolonged exposure to volumes in excess of 90 dB.
CAUTION! IMpORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LIGhTING pRODUCTS
1. Do not look into the beam from a distance of less than 40 cm.
2. Do not stare into the beam for extended periods at short-to-medium
distances.
3. Do not view the beam directly with optical instruments such as magnifiers.
4. Under some circumstances, stroboscopic effects may trigger epileptic
seizures in sensitive individuals! For this reason, persons who suffer from epilepsy should always avoid places where strobe lights are

CONNECTING ThE pDI03
All connectors are located at the rear of the unit.
1
SpEAKER
Connect a loudspeaker output of your amplifier to the INPUT jack. For
onstage use or additional mic’ing up connect a loudspeaker cabinet to the
THRU jack. This automatically deactivates the integrated dummy load. Use
high quality loudspeaker cable for both connections.
WARNING!
When using a tube amp, make sure the output impedance of your amplifier
matches the Ohms rating on your PDI03. Many amps feature an impedance
selector. Besides the classic 8 Ohms reissue Palmer offers the PDI03 with
the appropriate dummy loads for amplifiers with a single, fixed output
impedance such as 2 Ohms (e.g. Fender Super Reverb*), 4 Ohms (e.g. Fender
Vibro Champ*) or 16 Ohms (e.g. Vox AC30*).
When connecting loudspeakers, make sure they also match the amp’s output
impedance.
The PDI03’s dummy load has a power handling capacity of 100W RMS continuous input power.
2
LINE OUT
The outputs 1, 2, 3 and 4 provide an unfiltered line level signal, i.e.
without speaker simulation, for using the amplifier as a dedicated preamp
to feed effect units separately. The ooutput can also be tracked for reamping
3
FILTER OUT
Use these outputs to feed the filtered signal to a mixing console. The
FILTER OUT jack provides an unbalanced signal, the XLR output signal is
BALANCED. Both outputs can be used simultaneously. The GND LIFT switch
isolates pin 1 of the XLR from the chassis ground to eliminate ground
loops.
SIMULATION AND VOLUME SETTING
The volume controls and filter switches are located at the front of the
unit for operating convenience.
4
FILTER VOLUME
Controls the speaker simulated output signal level.
5
DEEp / FLAT
This switch selects the low end EQ with the DEEP setting providing the
typical punch of a closed back 4x12”. The FLAT position simulates the
airiness of an open back 2x12” cabinet.
6
BRIGhT / NORMAL / MELLOw
This switch selects between three high frequency characteristics. When
driving your amp hard, the BRIGHT setting lends clarity and transparency
to rhythm parts and the cutting edge to lead lines. NORMAL generates the
grainy upper midrange bite of a British loudspeaker, and the MELLOW position simulates the softer, singing “American” tones.
Together, both switches select between 6 presets providing authentic
simulation of various speaker and cabinet types. We recommend to experiment with different combinations which might lend your amp a new voice,
as well!
7
LINE OUT
Controls the unfiltered output signal level of the line outputs 1, 2, 3
and 4.
