Blender Mix Pedals

Sign in to disble this ad
Can anyone point me in the direction of some manufacturers of blend/mix pedals where you can mix an effect to your dry signal.... I've heard of xotic and Radial but would like to know of any alternatives, preferably true bypass...

thanks

I have one of the Barge Concepts VB-Jr.
http://www.bargeconcepts.com/vbjr.html
Get it with the phase switch if you go this route. I got one with the expression control as well, it works great.

Loop-master doesn't offer any blenders (nor a blend option) for sale on the website.

It goes to 11... it's more than a boost, isn't it?

Dang, just found this. I've been looking at some other blender and looper options and I think the wounded paw may be the trick I'm looking for. I've wanted a blend and a boost control. Barge looks like you can get one or the other, but BANG both in one pedal

I'm currently running an MXR Blow Torch and an EHX SMMH which each have blend knobs, but I'm also running a 105q bass wah and just added a Subdecay Noisebox, which don't have blends. I need to give some thought to how I'd rig my board (do I loop all my pedals, or just the ones without blends, or some combo???), but the Wounded Paw may be the ticket!

wow, had no idea about the wounded paw.

i use the barge VBF-2 and have problems with the drop in volume, pretty sizeable actually. i still haven't isolated it, but i'd much rather have the option to boost everything...

There is also the Bass ParaLooper with variable low pass & high pass. The creator (Moosapotamus) is a member on here.

Here is a thread about it:
paralooper with LP & HP

There is a picture in this thread:

He has some other pedals on:

So I'm still looking, albeit with a better idea of what I want now, I just need to find someone to build it. Preferably in the UK with the exchange rate what it is.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that. It wasn't a deal killer for me as I don't usually need the boost and currently I have some extra gain from both the BMS and Holy Stain. Good luck.
