Buffered Instrument Mixer & Effects Loop
The Mix-Blender™ is a multi-function pedal that lets you mix two instruments or pedals together and then send the signal through a footswitch-controlled effects loop for processing.
Features
- Mix two instruments or effects together at the same time
- Blend in effects while retaining the tone of your instrument
- Class-A buffered inputs with individual level controls
- Opens the door to creating subtle or unique effects
Mix your instruments, Blend your effects
Designed to work with guitar, bass and keyboards, the Mix-Blender sums together two instrument inputs, with individual level controls to balance their relative levels. This allows you to combine two pickups on an acoustic guitar, two effects pedals, or two different instruments on stage so each can be played through the same amp. This combined signal can then be routed to your effects pedals, with a footswitch to activate them in an instant. The effects loop of the Mix-Blender features a unique wet/dry Blend control, which lets you retain the original sound of the instrument and add in as much of the pedals as you like, for effects ranging from subtle to extreme.
Mix-Blender Applications
- Two instruments in one amp
- With two inputs you can connect two instruments and have them play at the same volume through your amp for quick changes on stage. Connect your tuner from the send jack to monitor your tuning on the fly.
- Blend both pickups together
- Combining two pickups can often lead to the most natural sounding acoustic. Use the Mix-Blender to precisely mix the two signals together. Add a chorus pedal to the effects loop and control it with the footswitch.
- Bass guitar with overdrive
- Add overdrive or distortion to your bass without losing the powerful bottom end. The Mix-Blender's wet-dry control lets you mix in the perfect amount of distortion to your signal path.
