Anyone tried ART's mini, passive mixer?

I bought one to use as a parallel fx mixer, and found that plugging my signal straight through it wasn't unity gain- my guess is so that when you have more than one channel of audio mixed together doesn't clip the output. That pretty much killed the usefulness for me in a guitar chain.

Look, you're not going to be able to plug your guitar straight into a passive mixer without tone loss -- everything needs to drive bufferred/sorta low impedance -- and there will always be a volume loss. It's how they work. There should be no significant tone loss within the mixer itself at all but the system properties depend more on the properties of everything attached to it. But in many systems you've got volume to burn and it can work out perfectly. Contrast with oversimplified little battery mixers which often can't handle guitar, loud mic or line levels comfortably at all (i'm thinking of the old Boss one).

 

The MF page is wrong on the gain figure, that should be -12 dB not 12 dB.
