Small Small Mixer wanted

I'm looking for a 6 channel (or there abouts) mixer for minor mixing duties.

It needs to be small, and thats about it.

All inputs are line level, so no need for mic inputs..

Something along the lines of a be!@#$%^& 802 etc.

Anyone got something they want to offload?

Cheers

Mike - you can shoot much higher than the be!@#$%^&
- unless you really like thin noisy unreliable unsellable desks.
I know you will regret it if you go there........
Soundcraft,Yamaha,Roland rack mixer etc would be a better starting point - and also you wont throw them against the wall at some stage in the near future
Even 30 year old mini Teac consoles would sound like they were made 150 years after the be!@#$%^&

True, I gets you with the be!@#$%^&..

It's more that I need a tiny small mixer to mix the individual outs of my MPC1k or Emu SP12 after they go through a bunch of pedals.
Size is the deciding factor (Along with quality).
It's all got to fit in a pedal board with the MPC.
Maybe a Spirit notepad then?

Cheers for your input

Hey Mike,

You could also look at the offerings from mackie/tapco. In reality if they are going through a bunch of pedals then pristineness of mixer may be not make much difference.

I also had some sucess back in the 80s by plugging the output of one synth into the output(yes output) of another, and then using the headphone out as the mix of the 2. All depends on the circuitry and levels and stuff, from memory roland stuff seemed to handle it OK.

Cheers

Cheers!

I've had some thoughts about it, and I think I'll just make a small mixer. No eq needed, or mic pre's.. I think I could then make it perfect for my needs.
6 small faders and 6 LCR switches for panning.
+ one knob for master volume.

I'll report back with any break throughs.

Regards
Mike

If you want 3 stereo that would fit on a pedal board have a look at art power mix iii . 69 bucks at allans city store, just spotted while having a look around. About 1.5 times the size if a boss pedal.
