Small high quality blender pedal

[akagilligan]

It's for a single oedal on my grab and go board

Schism is nice, but overkill for this board

Sound quality is important with the pedal I'm using it with and need polarity switch

So far I've found x-blender, wounded paw v1, T1M and Mosquite.

Is there a clear winner here?

Have you considered LS-2?

No phase switch on the LS-2.
X-Blender and Wounded Paw are both great.

+1 for the X-Blender. Very useful and flexible on the gig!

I have 2 micro T1smine blender, great quality, no issues.

Which one has the best buffer, sound quality and least noise out of the small footprint options for blending a single pedal.

The whole market is pretty good about noise and sound quality, there really aren't any bad options out there. The Wounded Paw v1 is probably your best shot as far as features vs size/price.

I have a T1M blender, but it doesn't have a phase switch. It does have expression input control. But I found it difficult to work with T1M, I ordered through a store and has a separate blender on back order, and he never filled the back order. Others on TB have been burned by him. So if there is a T1M in stock that works for you, great, but I would not risk ordering anything from him.

Also I find the T1M true bypass implementation builds up a lot of static, I get a lot of loud pops with it and have to click-cycle it 10 - 20 times at the start of a gig to bleed off the static. My Barge Concepts blender is far superior, but he's been out of business for while. I miss him and his pedals.

One Control Mosquite Blender with BJF buffer is the smallest footprint and less expensive than the Wounded Paw or Xotic. I have both Xotic X-Blender and Mosquite Blender with BJF - I like them both. Dont' have a Wounded Paw, but it is bigger than the One Control. But if space is an issue, the Mosquite Blender gets my nod.

I have this one in the standard build with the expression jack. The cool thing about it is you can use a volume pedal to blend in your effects with your foot as opposed to bending over and adjusting a knob.
I bought it directly from him via his website, paid through Paypal, took a few weeks to get, no issues with it or the maker.
