Re: Looper's Little Mixers...




For non-digital (or to add extra inputs) with the SMALLEST possible  
physical footprint yet high quality sound (low signal to noise ratio,  
etc., etc.) check out. RDL (Radio Design Labs)

The trade off is that you have to wire things yourself, but that's not  
hard and you end up with a small, custom rig.

The power supplies are larger then the mixers themselves, and yes,  
they sound great. (Very quiet)

Oh, one more trade off, not as easy to adjust on the fly... Small  
button or pots you turn with a screw driver.

(I have a few left to sell if anyone wants one. A few different kinds.  
I'm not actually actively trying to sell them as they may yet come on  
handy and are pretty specialized, but I'd fish through them for one of  
you if you think it might be up your alley.)
