Rolls mini mix VI

[GT]

Has any one used one of these?

Is it quiet?

Or any other Rolls products, how are they?

Rolls makes the most godawful crap I've ever seen....... complete junk in every sense of the word.

Blue Bear,

How the hell are you? I'm still enjoying the duck!!

I'm looking for a two stereo in, to one stereo out, without any frills, just volume control.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!!

They are good for use as a little keyboard submixer on live gigs, but that's about it. And chances are they will break with road wear. The faders get noisy very easily. The inputs are all mono, and there is no panning, so it is not useful for stereo applications. Of course, I could be thinking of a different model: the one I'm thinking of is about the size of a deck of cards, black, with four mini-faders.

One Rolls piece that's not bad is the little 4-channel headphone mixer. I've got three in my studio, in addition to a couple of Fostex's. I think the Rolls sounds better than the Fostex.

If I needed a little submixer for stereo sources (in non-critical applications) I'd probably just grab one of those tiny Behringer, Mackie, or Soundcraft sub-$100 mini-mixers.

Yeah, I was a little scared of getting eaten by the bear but I'll second the rolls headphone amp. It works fine for my studio and at $60 it fit the bill nicely. Just out of curiosity does this mean you've tried every peice of rolls gear big bear?

Nope - itmeans every piece of Rolls gear I've ever come across in the local shop has been crap.... even if I didn't connect it up, just the shoddy workmanship alone is enough of a tip-off....

I did have the "privilege" of owning a Rolls midi foot pedal a few years back... it lasted 2 days and fell apart (and I hadn't even gigged with it yet!)... took it back got another and it lasted 2 hours.... the 3rd and final one lasted only minutes before it fried in my hands.... that's all the proof I need about the crap they put out - if they can't get a simple midi footswitch right, they sure as hell aren't going to get anything more complicated done properly....!!!
