Gotta Share

Just been practicing and I tried something that has got me so excited it's like a whole new world of effects.

Bass into korg DT-10 tuner using both outputs straight into a 4 channel soundlab mixer 2nd into my pedalboard in my pedalboard i use the send on the octron 2 into the sound lab mixer then rest of pedalboard into sound lab mixer

so we have 3 channels here active blend signal but buffered and has a gain stage so each could be louder than they originally started soundlab mixer into fz-2 into korg px4b as my headphone amp

OMFG

words can not express

i had 100% clean, 100% octave down and 100% octave down into my effect all adjustable and blendable.

Now I've had blenders before I have a Barge and it does not sound like this I think the main problem with it is it's a blend so its a 100% signal split 50/50 or 40/60 etc etc this is like 300% signal where everything can be made louder so there are 3 separate sounds in there.

Oh and to show how stupid it looks setup :p

Any mixer offers so many possibilities and sound options over blender pedals, but most folks don't want the extra hassle.
My next pedal board will have a small mixer to supply and mix 2 effects chains with the dry signal and I can also route signals to and from my synth board for even more possibilities.
