BG / Synth bass amp both " live" help ?

Current project requires playing both and occasionally in the same song - reaching over for a few measures of Moog synth bass while on guitar. I'm using a GB NEOX 212T and a TC rh450 which I find useful for the onboard tuner ( the Moog Little Phatty must be tuned ) but of ours the compression is annoying (the output is ok as it goes to FOH )

Is there a unit that can get both instruments to the 212 without stepping on a pedal or am I going to need a separate monitor to hear the synth ? I'm trying to avoid having it in my vocal monitor.
 
I have the same dilemma. I'm sometimes required to play my bass at the same time as adding textures with a Moog Sub 37. After rummaging through the parts closet I stumbled across a Hipshot A/B/Y box. It works fine in reverse - i.e. instead of running to two amps from one input, I run two inputs into the output jacks and run the input jack to my amp. However, the Sub 37's output is way stronger than the bass' so controlling volumes proved to be a pain.
I ended up ordering a Lehle Parallel L mixer the other day and am waiting on it to arrive. Kinda spendy, but everything else I looked at appeared to be chintzy.
I hadn't heard of the Boss LS-2 prior to today, so I'd be curious to find out how that ends up working if you go that route.
 
I've used a [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] before when running three instruments through one amp but only one at a time and found it to be tonally neutral and bomb proof so imagine . I will check into the Boss LS-2 and see if there's a $200.00 difference in performance to a Parallel-M

However- now down this rabbit hole finds this for $200.00 in the other direction. Sigh..
