True like stacking 3 opamp big muffs to get that smashing pumpkins sound lol but it's never gonna sound anything like true multitracking. When he played Quiet it was pretty gnarly considering it's 1 guitar
I've been trying to find a BOSS LS-2 to play in parallel, and now EHX will let me add a third signal with greater control and at about the same price. KUDOS! Now take my money!
Honestly, I'm more interested in this as a buffered ABY switcher for multiple instruments into one amp (or one instrument out to multiple amps). Thank you for making this thing flexible!
I always liked the dedicated loop on the Turnip Greens pedal and now they've implemented the same concept into a true parallel switcher/mixer. I've been waiting on this one for years. Not to mention the possibilities with stereo pedals.
good ol' EHX - comes out with a pedal that I never thought I'd need, but I now feel like I can't live without at all! it's why I own a Cock Fight and an original HOG, and will be purchasing this (and an 8-step Program) next.
I run all my pedals split once by a Mel9 and again by an EHX platform through a Zoom R24, currently six tracks two stereo pairs and two mono. Sometimes, it feels like I am a whole band. I thought everybody did this.
I’ve been using a wounded paw v3 for awhile and this looks like a cheaper alternative, without the vulnerable microswitches located right where they can get kicked! (Was a nightmare to replace one lol)
I have one. Love it. I wish, though, that it had return output reduction depending on how many channels are active so that overall output does not necessarily increase as number of channels active increases.
Great tool, it's like a broadened idea of the most recent gigrig product, for a bit different use! There has to be some market for these if there are similar tools coming out around the same time.
And this ones cheaper than the GigRig one too Being able to mix a dry signal with an effected signal is really useful for bass players because pedals add capacitance to your signal which kills your low end. So a product like this will let bass players use pedals and have a fat tone without needing 2 amps
Thats a killer device!!! I'd run glossy cleans with a mild flanger into a pulsar on one channel, a germanium big muff with a sub-octaver on another, and a fender pugilist or MXR super badass distortion on the third channel. It would sound so wrong, yet so right
I was looking for a pedal that was like the virtual signal splitter and blender pedal on Logic Pro and it looks like I've found something even better!!!
Please, please EHX make a stereo version of this pedal (2 returns for each pedal and stereo outputs) and expression pedal blend output like the GigRig Wetter box and the Musicom Lab Parallelizer. It would be absolutely awesome. Otherwise, the mono returns and output limit this pedal to mono effects (cool for blending distortions, fuzzes, overdrives), but not so useful for the fx loop with stereo time-based and modulation effects.
Don't think three muffs would sound nearly so tight in series. Good way to run two or three of the same kind of pedal for that really reactive, living, excited sound.
I'm gonna get one of these for use in the studio... But I also want a stereo/dual mono version with 4 loops, panning knobs, the ability to switch the tone control from post-loop to pre-loop, individual/global expression control over knobs(like the returns & eqs), a way to turn on all or some loops at the same time with the press of one foot switch, and then after all that maybe include an integrated stereo Holy Grail Max + tilt eq that can be mixed into each loop or used individually in series at the end of the chain! The EHX Quad Parallel Ultra Stereo Supreme EX Plus Alpha Mixer? Also id prefer individual left and right jacks over a trs with insert cables thank you!
Two questions: 1. Is there any popping sound when switching channels in either mode? 2. If I have my delay pedal has trails will this switcher cut them off when I switch channels?
The Tri Parallel Mixer can be set up to keep delay and reverb tails when disabling an FX loop channel or it can be set up to cut them off. From the factory it is set up to cut off the reverb tails. Changing an FX loop channel to allow for tails is easy to change through press and holds on the footswitches. The software will remember the state of each channel through power cycles. The manual explains this feature in the BOTH, SEND, & RETURN MUTING MODES section.
Could this be used to set up parallel signal paths to mix my clean Bass DI signal with the 2nd path thru pedalboard, amp, speaker & microphone...then feed this sound into my iphone for recording bass videos?
hello. can somebody please explain to me, how this device works? so I got one cable going to the guitar amp. I got one cable going to the guitar. I plugged 3 pedals into the loops (a boss sy1, a ehx pog 2 and a ehx synth 9) all the pedals have power...and...nothing happens. am I doing something wrong? did I push the wrong button. I get no sound coming out of this pedal... I already putt it back into .. like factory settings. but still nothing happens. no sound. . please help.
the only thing that stops this from being an instant purchase for me is the fact that there is no switch to toggle the clean signal. If I want to toggle the clean signal on and off, I'd have to dead-patch one of the channels, at which point I might as well get an OBNE Signal Blender
Interesting mixer, but how about an updated demo using the effects in series then parallel to really get to hear the difference. I'm new to using several effects together instead of a multi-effect pedal. If I'm understanding the concept correctly, each pedal is independant and not effected by the the other pedals when used in parallel?
When you run pedals in SERIES, your sound is affected in steps. So example: you're hitting a Drive pedal first. The pedal takes your clean sound and distorts it, but then you go into a Reverb pedal. Your Reverb is seeing a distorted guitar sound. There is no way to undistort the signal going in, except to deactivate/disengage your Drive. That is Series. In PARALLEL, your guitar signal goes to multiple pedals at the same time, and the outputs of both devices are blended together into one signal. So, you could run a Drive and Reverb in parallel, and the resulting sound would be a distorted guitar with no reverb blended with a clean guitar that has lots of reverb. Make sense?
Hello, when it's "OFF" (all leds turned off) is it "TRUE BYPASS" or just shut down-no signal? If it is the first case ("TRUE BYPASS"), do "MASTER VOL" & "DRY VOL" work? Thanks!
Hold the ch1 and ch 2 footswitch together for about a sec. The leds start blinking. Unison blinking is the and mode. One after another is xor. To change the setting just press any of the footswitch. When you have the setting you want just hold any of the footswitch for about a sec until the leds stop blinking.
can this be used distortion into delay.mixer straight into front of amp for old amps that don't have send a return.this has been a problem for ever.obversley if the amp is distorted then the delay is going into that it's going to sound bad.dis or overdrive pedal then delay into mixer.then in to front of amp.is it good for that????that would be great
Andy if your amp is distorted the effects will be distorted. No way around it unless you have an effects loop in the amp and run the pre distorted and the power amp clean.
So can you put it's channels in serial mode (and not simultaneos) ? Like this: CH1 Clean amp, CH2 Marshall with pedal 1, CH3 Marshall with pedal 2 boosting pedal 1 ?
