Pedal Breeders' BIG Board Club Part III

Noise.

Hey guys! I need to route my bass and my moog thought the same amp, but would like to have the ability to choose between a (bass) + b (moor) and a or b. Any suggestions?
I use one of the Behringer micro mixers. I put my board, a Korg krome keyboard, and whatever random noise maker I'm using (drum machine,spring noisemaker, or iPad) through it and into my amp. I have experienced zero noise with it that way. If it out it infront of my board to put all of those thing through effects, my old big muff squeals a little because it doesn't like it, but otherwise still silent. For +-$20 you can't go wrong with it.

I also have a OneControl AB box. The manual says it will pass signal the opposite way (two in/ one out), but I've never tried it. It's pretty cheap too.

with the one control could I use them both at the same time?

I have a MicroMixer400 as well. When I originally used it I had noise... I should try it again.

The only time I have ever had any issue is when it is in front of my pedal board, and my old big muff doesn't like it, but it can be picky about it's signal. Other than that, I've had zero issue with added noise, or even bleed through, but I everyone's power and rig set up is different.

I mean, @Adamixoye mainly plays guitar through his board and he's still here.

Because I'm about to get in your lane:

This is KIND OF true. Live, it was pure guitar for over two years, but then that changed just recently and now it looks like I'll be playing about 2/3 guitar and 1/3 bass live. At home, it's been more balanced (certainly way more balanced than 100% to 0%, maybe closer to 2/3-1/3), though when I'm playing so much guitar live I do practice that a little more.

If you'll notice though, my board has, arguably, four bass-oriented pedals (Aftershock, Manta, Future Impact, and B7KU) and not really any guitar-oriented pedals that are unusable on bass. Also, the pedals on my secondary board are also weighted to bass---Bass OFD, Woodchipper, and CCP/Pump Lab FATM are all arguably bass pedals.
