Hi bouldersoundguy, Thanks for your reply... you are indeed correct... I realize this now when looking at the block diagram. Mackie tech support just chimed in saying that the tape outs are not meant for this use, and suggests that a more feasible workaround would be to mix inputs in the 402...

Hello all, Can I use Tape Out (1 kOhm) in mono to feed an effects chain (input impedance > 2 MOhms), and return the signal (output impedance unknown) to the Tape In (> 10 kOhms) ? I am specifically thinking about using this solution with a Mackie 402 or similar tiny mixer and my EHX SMMH. Or...

@ashcat_lt Another very informative post! Thank you for sharing and teaching! +rep! You cleared up most of my questions and taught me several new aspects of my equipment - now I just need to find a mixer =) Dare I ask your opinion on the Mackie 802-VLZ4 vs the Allen&Heath ZED 10 vs Yamaha...

Hello, @BroKen_H Thank you for your suggestions about the weight and as far as mixers from google go - the ones you mention are indeed on my list in addition to the A&H 10-FX. As always, I have done much googling, but I am of the type who doesn't believe much in reviews I haven't asked for...

Yes, I realize this might be my best option. What is the smallest mixer I could get with a single AUX Send/Return? :D

Hi people, Great answers! :thumbs up: By bike, I mean pedals, so the 12 lb PV14 is a bit heavy, but the PV6 has aux sends, so the PV14's little brother would work - any experience with the Peavey mixers in terms of sound quality (and preamp quality)? I realize many people don't care much for...

Hello mixsit, Thanks for the reply! Well yes, I want to mix microphones and instruments and pour them simultaneously through my effects loop... So yes a mixer of some kind is the answer - the question as you point out, is the footprint of the mixer - I am looking for the most compact solution...

Bump. Noone uses multiple inputs to their effects loops? can

Dear all, I have a single effects chain and I want to route my microphone(s) and my guitar(s) through this chain. "Easy!," you say. "Get a mixer!" I say: "Yes, a mixer is certainly the way to go, but I need it to be compact, since I will be on stage working with this gear and be on the road...

And now I do so... although it has been a long time! When I opened the R-825 I saw that one of the LF353s present in the schematic at U9/U11 (cannot recall which) was indeed a RC4558N. So I played around a little which changing the three opamps U9/U11 and U10 around with the RC4558N, LF353...

I am picking up the op-amps today. I'll post back when I've tried them out.

I suppose I should trust your intuition, but I'm really curious to hear what happens or not =) What are the chances of damaging the unit? The suggested opamps have the same pinouts and voltage operating areas... What are the symptoms of oscillation, should it occur?

News I just thought I'd post back for the fun of it. I found the error not too long ago. It was a broken leg on the monitor master pot...some solder and voila! The phones hum is likely an impedance issue (see here for a custom connector for low commercial low impedance phones), and the...

Hi, thanks for the reply and for sharing! This means I should probably leave all U7, U12 and U13 alone. Do you however think it is worth hoping that the AD826 is stable with less than unity gain? (what does this really mean?) I see that the data sheet says it is unity gain stable, but I am...

The DOD-825 reopened... Hi people, I feel really bad about not having completed the mod I was asking you questions about years ago, but my chemistry masters degree completely consumed my time... Now that it is over (!), I can finally return to the audio section, and to getting my mono...
