TRI PARALLEL MIXER
Effects Loop Mixer/Switcher
Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix Tri Parallel
Mixer! The Tri Parallel Mixer can be used in multiple configurations for a
variety of switching and mixing applications. Use it to switch between or
mix up to three separate effects loops. Send a guitar or other
instrument out to three separate amplifiers, or input three separate
instruments to switch between or mix to a single output. Mix effects in
parallel to create sounds and allow for options not possible when using
effects in series (one after another). These are a few examples of the
multiple ways to incorporate the Tri Parallel Mixer into your setup.
WARNING: Your Tri Parallel Mixer comes equipped with an Electro-Harmonix 9.6DC-
200BI power supply (same as used by Boss
Parallel Mixer requires 45mA at 9VDC with a center negative plug. Use of the wrong
adapter or a plug with the wrong polarity may damage your Tri Parallel Mixer and void
the warranty.
- USING THE TRI PARALLEL MIXER -
Plug the 9VDC adapter into the jack on the top left of the Tri Parallel
Mixer. There are multiple ways to configure your setup, the most typical
configuration is shown below: a guitar based setup for mixing and/or
switching between three separate effects loops.

- Page 2 In this configuration, plug your guitar or other instrument/sound source into the INPUT jack on the right of the Tri Parallel Mixer. Connect your amplifier or other sound destination to the OUTPUT jack on the left of the Tri Parallel Mixer. All connections can be made using standard ¼”...
- Page 3 RETURN Knob – This knob sets the level of the signal received at the RTN jack before it is sent to the output of the Tri Parallel Mixer. PHASE – This switch, when set to 180, inverts the phase of the signal sent out of the SEND jack.
- Page 4 EQ – This knob affects the tonal characteristic of the signal inputted to the RTN jack. When the knob is at center, there is no effect. Turn the knob up for a brighter signal (more treble) and turn the knob down for a darker signal (more bass).
- Page 5 This is called AND Mode. You can also set the Tri Parallel Mixer to XOR (exclusive or) Mode. In this mode, only one of the three channels can be active at a time.
- Page 6 Switching on one channel automatically switches off the other two. This useful to use the Tri Parallel Mixer as more of a switcher and less of a mixer. To switch between these modes: 1) Hold the CH 1 and CH 2, or the CH 2 and CH 3 footswitch together, for about a second, until the three upper LEDs are blinking.
- Page 7 In the example above, mixing two very different overdrives on bass, in parallel, can result in a very full and unique distorted bass tone. You can also use the built in DRY blend on the Tri Parallel Mixer to retain some of the bass guitar’s natural low end.

Figure 1 Figure 2... - Page 9 Use the RETURN knob for a given channel to adjust the level of just that instrument. Figure 3: An example using the Tri Parallel Mixer to send a guitar to two separate amplifiers. You could either instantaneously switch between the two amplifiers or simultaneously send your guitar signal to both.
