Big Low End Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 I’ve been using an OBNE Signal Blender for a while to blend overdrive, a harsher distortion and a clean signal. Despite trying all the options of the phase buttons, I was never able to quite stop it from sounding a bit muddy/unclear. So I recently looked at all the reviews for the EHX Tri Parallel Mixer and swapped it in. I’m parallel mixing exactly what I was with the OBNE (clean, OD, distortion) but I’m far happier with the clarity of the final signal. I don’t know what it is, whether there’s better management of phasing, but it just sounds better and less muddy. Just my observations in case anyone is considering buying one of the two. With neither pedal was there a loss of low end, it’s just that the EHX seems to do everything with a bit more clarity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 The Tri Parallel Mixer is a superb pedal. So many options, really well designed. Can't comment on the OBN as I've not tried it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boodang Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 I use the tri mix at the heart of my board. Not only for parallel mixing but also to match gain structures for inputs/outputs. Some pedals can have sensitive inputs and this solve the problem. Plus pedals in parallel is an awesome option to have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
