seems indestructible
This purchase was a recommendation, kindly provided by the Thomann team. Thanks Konstantin :)
I had a much more expensive solution in mind but it just goes o show that the guys at Thomann give the information that is best for you and not just for their bottom line.
Exactly what was needed to do the job which in this case is acting as a splitter to feed a dry signal into a USB interface and into a effects rack.
Music peripherals are often described as indestructible but in the case of the PAN 01 that might be closer to the truth than could reasonably be expected. Compact and does what it build to do well.No complaints, will probably need 2 more in the future.

Versatile DI-Box
The passive Palmer PAN 01 is a really great DI-Box for its price point. I use it primarily for recording and practicing guitar and bass at home. I bought it in the first place due to the limited headroom of my interface, the Focusrite Saffire Pro 24.
After a little time I also did some reamping which worked absolutely flawless.
Since the PAN 01 is a passive DI-Box, it reduces the signal's level when the impedance is being transformed. If the gain is way too high the -30dB switch helps reducing it to a proper level.
The original signal does not seem to be coloured, which might be the most important thing for most users.
On the upsides it also comes with an ground lift switch, it is well built and it comes with a 5 year warranty.

Does it's job perfectly
I bought one of these for recording active basses in my home studio. I was kinda prejudiced because I met a lot of negative opinions about cheap DI boxes. But be wary not! For almost 3 months so far of recording I've never experienced any noise, hum or hiss. This is a quality product from my point of view.
It got hard metal housing and it is sturdy, although it is ridiculously small - same size as open palm :D Never had any issues with this DI box! The singnal is clear and noise free. It does its job perfectly. I recommend it!

great D.I box for little money!
I am using this D.I. box in ?reverse? to reamp di files from my usb audio interface to my amp. The groundlift works like a charm, it eliminates all that annoying hum and buzzing I used to get when I connected my soundcard directly to my amp. This makes my recording process so much better, I can now just track D.I.s and worry about my guitar tone later while reamping. I never had the chance to use this baby on stage but I can tell you, it´s built like a tank, never failed on me in the studio and probably never will when you use it on stage.

Nice cheap gear
I have used it for bass, synth and also guitar. Also in Live shows and in recording. Really like the Link Out option. Very useful buy. Before this we as a band recorded base directly into interface, now, we can record it and play through amp at the same time, and sound quality is definiately enough.
Also we are using this at Live settings, I had a gig, where I had to put guitar straight D.I. and this box did it's thing. Nice and sturdy. Happy with this purchase

Reamping
You don't have to spend hundreds for a DI box. Excellent sound quality compared with a build quality that will allow you to drive a tank over the little black box. All jacks are solid an properly screwed to the metal case. The small ground lift button as well as the -30dB pad button do their jobs porperly!
I primarily use the Palmer PAN 01 (in combination with the active PAN 02) for reamping purposes:
1) Guitar -> PAN 02 -> Interface -> PC
2) PC -> Interface -> PAN 01 -> Amp -> Microphone -> Interface -> PC
The sound quality is excellent: no hum, no noise!
If i ever need one more passive DI box, i know which one to buy: Palmer PAN 01
You can't get more for your bucks.

Excelent product
It has a bit retro design, but it goes unnoticed on the ground.
It's very simple and easy to work with.
It's still a passive, single channel DI box only, so it does limit when you work with various instruments. I bought also the dual channel Samson S-direct, witch has an active option and a price still in range, witch could be a better option depending on the needs.

Palmer PAN 01 DI-Box
The Palmer is a small and sturdy passive DI-Box at a fair price.
I tried it on bass and electric guitar in order to record them directly on a interface without hi-z-inputs. On both instruments it gets the job done very well.
The "link out" works as is should. Using it on the signal chain between guitar and amp lets you record the "dry" signal coming out of your guitar while playing through your amp. This way you can use the DI-Box to get a clean signal for reamping.
Additionally there is a grould lift and a -30db pad button, which both work well.
Because of the low price, the sturdy design and the fairly good sound i wouldn't settle for a cheaper passive DI-box.

A little helper in many situations
My band wanted to use some samples on stage, so we needed an DI box. We went the safe way and bought or own since not every location has enough of these.
We connected it with our live equipment and nothing more than a XLR cable is needed, to bring all the samples to the PA. Pretty cool.
At work I do a lot of jam and recording sessions with young musicians and this little thing became a lifesaver. I use three of these to record the DI tracks from guitars and bass, so we can later reamp everything and mix it with the original signal.
It does it job very well and the quality is very good!
I never had any Issues with a Palmer product.
