Palmer Kaputt Review : Kaputt - Audiofanzine

audiofanzine.com

The Palmer Kaputt Octaver is a sturdy and innovative pedal that offers unique sound-shaping capabilities, making it a strong contender for those looking to experiment. Its robust construction and user-friendly design are commendable, although the weight and awkward connection placements can be frustrating. The visual design could use improvement, as the function labels are hard to read under stage lighting. Ultimately, while the Kaputt might not be for everyone—its sound can be polarizing—it does push the envelope of what an octaver can do. At around $83, it’s worth considering if you're ready to embrace its quirky approach.
