OVERVIEW The Mix-Blender™ is in fact two pedals in one. On one hand it is a mini 2 X 1 mixer, on the other, it is an effects loop manager. Following the block diagram below, two of Radial’s award wining Class-A buffers drive the inputs which are then summed together to create the relative mix. -

Some pedals will reverse the relative phase of the signal. This is normal as pedals are usually in series with each other and changing the phase has no audible effect. When activating the effects loop on the Mix-Blender, you are actually creating a parallel signal chain whereby the dry and wet signals are combined. -
