Might need facebook, hold on I'll upload to YouTube give me a min
 
yes I see, thanks for that video :)

The thing is when recording with the palmer into the DAW, there's where I hear the distortion.

What Peter said makes sense and I tried it and it was ok, but I believe because I am not using a cab maybe is the signal that is too hot, I don't really know, I have to try more.

I saw the mic in that Bogner cab, what do you use to record?
 
I record with a m track plus. It's just to get ideas down. The band is doing a pro recording at a studio but it's at a stall at the moment because a band member has a personal issue that has him unable to complete till the end of next month. I wouldn't know anything about the palmer but I hear the two notes stuff is killer for what it's worth.
 
How loud is your master? Maybe you're getting power tube distortion?

The fact that you are not using a cab has nothing to do with any clipping/ distortion you might get unless you are not using the equipment (Palmer in this case) properly. This sounds to me like you are connecting the Palmer improperly to your daw: causing a ground issue with your sound card or plugging an unbalanced to balanced / vice versa.
 
Can you post a clip? That would help to understand what's wrong if something is wrong.

Btw this is the post 66666 of the forum :lol: :LOL:

Damn it was almost mine :doh:

Well, the master is at 10h 11h and I am using the unfiltered outs of the palmer so I can add the cab after in the Torpedo WOSIII, the unfilter volume is between 2 and 3

The interface is a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4
 
You should have enough headroom to be clean at that volume, unless you had some stupid soft tubes.
 
Really 9-10 o'clock is more then enough with a real cab honestly
 
the tubes are still the ones that came with, it's a late 2013 VH4, so I don't believe the problem would rely there, also I am using no real cab so I have to go around that.

What Peter said worked, rolling the volume off a bit, also I've been doing cleans with single coils and it's fine so far.

In the future I will try to get a good preamp for recording like a Chandler Limited or an API and maybe change my interface too, but for now I am in the Hunt for an Eventide Eclipse
