Pedalboard-friendly summing / mixing boxes


Recommended Posts

 

To the pro audio crowd, that box will seem super cheap. To the pedal crowd, not so much.

 

 

Quite right. The Roll Folcrom is $775 new. Even the SM Pro Audio PM8 is $400 or so "street." Compared to that, this is quite inexpensive... but to the pedal community, $150 for a box that "doesn't really do anything" seems kind of high.

Nice suggestion - thanks.
:cool:



Passive or active? Or is it a passive summer with an active gain make-up stage?


Oh and - I agree - the case looks fantastic. Great job on the finish! :phil:

 

Both, sort of. The toggle at the back switches between passive, and passive summer with active make-up.

I think this might be the most cost-effective solution:

Looks pretty easy for anyone that can melt solder...

 

I have not built that, but I did have a quick look at the schematic. It would probably work fine for many people, and it would be a relatively easy DIY project, just as long as you know how to solder. Even a complete beginner could probably get that built without too much trouble if they practice their soldering on some scrap parts and wire for a bit before attempting the actual build.

Thanks for the link! Are you considering building one? If so, please let us know what you think.

so more or less something like this, powered, can set input/output gain, sum from stereo to mono and isn't a $3000+ rack unit...

?

this sums a stereo signal to mono. I think phil wants stereo summed to stereo?

Yo Phil, assuming the reverbs end of chain going into 1 amp. Whats the benefit of sending a stereo signal, into a mono reverb like this?

I have one of those 6 channel Rolls MX28 mini VI mixers. Its got 3 stereo pair line level inputs and one stereo out, pan and volume knobs. I found it handy for mixing several keyboards together. Don't see much use for it with pedals. I do run dual amps and I do separate some of the pedals to run separately on each amp but a line level amp is too hot for pedals. It might work for rack gear connected to amp effects loops but I cant think of many uses in a pedal chain.
