This is the iconic pocket blender with a compact footprint. Even without using the A/B features, it serves as a mini two - channel mixer. You can easily connect two audio sources and blend them seamlessly. Ideal for dual - source systems like Fishman soundhole pickups with a mic or body pickup. Build on the basic blender by creating an “A mix” and a “B mix”. Just press the footswitch, and you can toggle between the two mixes. For example, in mix A, you can balance your onboard pickup (50%) with your onboard mic (50%). When taking solos in mix B, you can boost the pickup to 75% while keeping the mic at 50% with a single stomp of the footswitch. This pedal is not just an A/B pedal with a mixer; it's the core of Fishman’s unique AFX Dual Path ecosystem. Using common TRS audio cables, you can assign effects to either the tip or ring signal paths and switch between two ‘scenes’ with adjustable mix levels. Features: Balanced D.I. Output with Ground Lift, Innovative Dual Path Routing, Super Compact Design for Anywhere Use, 9V External Power Required (sold separately).

Using the Fishman AFX Pocket Blender is a breeze. First, connect your audio sources to the 1/4' TRS inputs. You can use it as a simple two - channel mixer right away. To use the A/B feature, set up your preferred mix levels for A and B. When you're ready to switch between them, just stomp on the footswitch. When using the Dual Path ecosystem, connect your effects using common TRS audio cables to assign them to different signal paths. Remember, you need a 9V external power source, which is sold separately. Make sure to use the recommended power adapter or a suitable barrel connector. When it comes to maintenance, keep the pedal in a dry place. Wipe it gently with a soft cloth if it gets dirty. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. Also, be careful when connecting and disconnecting cables to prevent any damage to the audio I/O ports.
