The Electro-Harmonix Tri Parallel Mixer is an intuitive mixing hub that's here to help inspire you in the creation of effects. This powerful machine allows you to run up to three FX Loops in parallel and create sounds that are not possible by connecting effects in series. You can seamlessly switch between FX Loops in XOR mode, making this complex brain easy to operate. Send one instrument out to three different amplifiers, and even mix three different instruments into a single output if you want to!

Continuing on with releasing nothing but interesting and awesome tools and pedals constantly forever – Electroharmonix have just released another great tool pedal the Tri Parallel Mixer which is a cool little utility box that allows you to blend effects pedals in parallel instead of in series.

What does parallel vs. series mean? Connecting your effects pedals on your board one after another is a series connection. The output of the first pedal goes into the second etc etc. When you run something in parallel the input signal (probably your guitar) will be routed into any or all 3 of these loops and then those 3 signals will be blended back together. This means that you can stack say 3 big muff pedals (demo video below from EHX, love them) at the same time – this is very much different than running 3 big muff pedals in series which would basically be completely unusable noise. By doing it in parallel you can blend the tonal characteristics of the pedals together without having them interfere with each other. Super interesting concept.


Enough words right? How does this thing actually work. The demo video from EHX below does a great job of showing the pedal in a bunch of pretty interesting scenarios. Check it out! I'll probably be purchasing one of these soon and will show some more ambient / soundscapey demo stuff.

Wish there was a Stereo version, with variable Phase pots ( not just 180 degree polarity flip )  - would provide  Matrix Surround Sound Steering and MS- Stereo productions

The IBP and IBP Junior easily eliminate the undesireable hollow sound when combining out-of-phase and partially out-of-phase audio signals. Designed as a phase problem solving device, the IBP Analong Phase Alignment Tool has quickly become popular among audio engineers as not only a "fix it" tool but as a controlling audio phase creative, tonal color tool.

Allows mics to be placed where they sound best individually.
No compromising mic place do to phase problems when using IBP technology.
Rack mountable, 4 units fit in a 1U space.
Real time all analog phase sweep between 0° and 180º
IBP (Includes the above features plus all the following:)
Internal super quality active direct box.
Internal "re-amplier" to convert pro-level to guitar level (w/ or w/o phase adjust).
Buffered instrument level output for driving long guitar cables.
Splitting between two instrument amps with transformer isolation + phase sweep.
