Clean Blend/Parallel Blend.

[UtilityBeltFX]

Alright gentlemen. I find it kind of crazy that with the hundreds of PCB traces and utilities that PPCB offers, there still isn't a Clean Blend or Parallel Blend utility offered here. I know other companies offer them but as long as I'm buying the effect pcbs here, why not add these utilities to my cart while I'm here also! ($)

I'm currently working on a project to combine two PedalPCBs in parallel and ordered a JMK Paralyzer which should do the trick. But it's currently LOST somewhere in Canada. Very frustrating as it's all I'm waiting on. Offering the ability to combine PedalPCBs would only increase sales of PedalPCBs. Come on, a no brainer!



(please)

This looks similar to the Red Panda Bit Mixer, is that correct? If so, I'm excited to build it. I've been wanting to get one for a while.

It's not a clone of the Bit Mixer but the control layout and functionality is similar.

I just built Breakfast Audio's Blender. Still need to get it working, but similar to Robert's diagram.

Just saw earlier today that GCI has a series/parallel board, smd prepopulated for a whopping $25!
I was super excited until I saw the price.

I just realized that once the 1-3 splitter is ready we will have the ability to split, route and mix pedals as we want! This is very exciting! One request for @Robert: could the splitter be a rectangular board so it can be installed almost flush with the mixer? That would make laying out a compact splitter/mixer a lot easier.

@UtilityBeltFX — Did you ever receive your JMK Paralyzer PCB?

The first time I ordered them he forgot to ship them... I waited 6 weeks before I found out.

The second time I ordered them he forgot my apartment number and the postal service tried to send them back to Canada due to insufficient address. I rushed to the post office and begged them to look for them. Thankfully they found them and I didn't have to wait weeks again for them to be reshipped.

Great product, unreliable seller.

Thankfully I talked @szukalski into working on something with me that may be my saving grace.

Sorry to hear that. I've had great service from JMK each time.

He’s a good guy. He’s backed off the diy stuff a bit. He’s a full time pastor these days.

I'm not trying to bad-mouth anyone, I'm sure he's a great guy. I just placed another order with him two days ago because I like his product and want to support him. Just hoping this shipment goes smoothly for a change.

Let us pray.

Oh no, I don’t take it that way at all. I was trying to give a little insight.

I have a few different related projects on the way.

The pot mounted blend is still on my bench, I just have to get back to it and adjust some component values then it'll be good to go.

I haven't finished the OBNE trace yet but hopefully will get back on that soon.

I just finished up the trace of another mixer pedal, so that should be popping up before too much longer.


Also wrapping this one up this morning... a simple 3-channel mono mixer with master volume control.

@Robert,
I see the "3-Channel Mixer" PCB, but I am not finding the others you describe above.
I may be looking in the wrong place, I'm certainly Not getting younger...
Are those other blends still in development, or can you point me to them?
Thanks in advance.

There is also a 3 way splitter. If you use both the mixer and splitter you get a 3 channel parallel mixer!

Ahhh, ok, got it! Thanks for pointing that out for me, much appreciated!

Has anyone put both in one box with 3 bypass switches yet? Thatswhudimtalkinbout!

I'm thinking about doing just that

Me three

 

[giovanni]

Me four! I have the boards already. I have to figure out a drilling template.

 

[Feral Feline]

I've been mocking up the PCBs in a 1032L. I had to give up on the faceplates, as they don't orient everything quite the way I want.

This is what I was looking for. @Robert If you need some pics of the OBNE SB let me know as he’ll be letting her go this week. I also have pics of the Xotic X Blend, EHX Switchblade Deluxe which I found very noisy and a better than expect Rocktron Tru-Blend. Let me know if I could help.
