compact mixer for end of chain

[iamjethro]

I am thinking about adding a second route through my pedalboard. One side would be a multi and the other side would be a Mel9 for adding texture and faking some instruments.

I am thinking an A/B switch at the front to choose one or the other, the combine back into a small mixer to go to the one channel I have on the pa board.

What is a really small, fairly inexpensive mixer I can find. It needs to fit on a Gator powered board. I would prefer truly passive with no power requirements, but am flexible. The power supply to my board has 9 and 18 v available.

Thanks,
jeff

May be worth having a look for a NUX PMX-2 or PMX-2U. Not tried them personally but have a PMS-2 switching unit of theirs that is a staple in my live rig.

Also Nobels used to have a few small units like the MIX-41C, MIX-42C or SPX-31 which might do the job if you can find them second hand.

I would suggest this one:

Rolls makes pretty solid stuff. I think there's a behringer rip-off of this box too, but fuck them. I'd think about upgrading your PA mixer instead if you're out of channels.

Thank.

I found an ART unit that is passive and uses no power, but it says can typically drain 12db, which sounds like a lot to me.

The Rolls was interesting but my pedal power supply has 9 and 18 volt but no 2 volt outs.

If I used my mel9 inline with a multi-effect unit, should it go before or after the multi-effect. I was trying to separate the 2 because I was not sure I could completely bypass the multieffect with no change to the signal.

Oh, and one more question. My Vox ST has a 12 v input with 540ma. The power supplies I can find to power a board have 12v with either a 200 or a 400 ma output. Am I going to fry the pst pedal if I use one of these?
