New pedal build: The Small Mixer

well, not really a pedal, but it's pedal-sized, and it's for use on a pedalboard. :lol:

 

a lot of my sets have multiple sound-sources. my last two gigs were my guitar hooked up to a bunch of pedals (stereo), my DS hooked up to a couple pedals (stereo) and a tape player (mono). I used an alesis 8-channel mixer. I don't like hauling all this {censored} to and from places in a backpack, especially since I don't have a car. in an ever-increasing effort to lighten the load, I decided to build a tiny mixer. its a fraction of the size of the alesis, weighs next to nothing, and doesn't require a heavy power supply.

 

it can be toggled to be either active or passive. passive will introduce a noticable volume drop in the main output.

Any simple way to do this with two phantom power XLRs and one normal instrument unbalanced? I use a Behringer 802 right now but it's pretty large, this looks like it has a much smaller footprint. Probably too complicated/expensive.

I don't think phantom power can be done easily in that small an enclosure (along with a mixer). It's probably possible, though, since power injectors (which add phantom power to an xlr input and pass the unpowered TRS output on) are not that large.
