Yeah, I also ordered one. I’ve been wanting to get the Stompmix for a little while but they’ve been out of stock and loved this. Almost identical functionality but I don’t need it to be a pedalboard, happy to use on a table or mic stand to blend my Powertap Earth pickup.

Aaron i have a couple
questions. You had mentioned in the review about the differences in the gigmix and stompmix. Is the gigmix case metal or plastic? And you preset the gain on each ch so its bouncing around -12 db. During your review you were turning the master up and down generally around 75%. Sometimes much higher. This indicates a lack of headroom with this mixer. I didnt note in your video where the individual ch vol settings are. So in a live gig would this settings be similar or was it just for your review recording? thx great review as usual.

I play fingerstyle with a light touch therefore I need gain. With this pedal, I usually increase the gain to the maximum until noise comes in. When using it like this, the output are hot enough and I have no headroom problems. Note that I used to have a Headway EDB-1 and could not have enough gain with a decent Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Yamaha MG or A&H ZED10FX analog mixers provide more gain with better SNR but are much bigger and can't be powered by a battery pack.

I still might go for it and see if I could modify my holder? Yep I modified it...The Gigmix will fit the cell phone holder connected to my Tablet holder.... This pretty much seals the deal for me... Puts everything within touch .. Last edited by CASD57; 04-15-2021 at 05:09 PM. |

My GigMix is suppose to arrive today but FedEx's optimism is dubious. We'll see.

My gig mix arrived Wednesday
I received my gigmix4 on Wednesday. It was totally an impulse purchase and when I ordered it, I was not sure if, or why, I needed it.
Turns out, once I got it, I found a great use for it. First off, it has a small footprint on my desktop and that's great. Secondly, the quality of what I'm hearing out of it is quite nice. Mine did not have an instruction booklet, but I found that the menus are intuitive and I was able to figure some things out quickly. I downloaded the manual and that helped. I have a set of powered studio monitor speakers on the wall above my computer and I either plug these into my little recording box (Zoom R8), or now into the gigmix 4. I noodled around with my guitar into the gigmix and out to the speakers. Guitar has a K&K mini and I went straight into the mixer with no preamp. Shocked at how clean the sound is from this mixer. In just a little while I was able to dial in some rather subtle but lush delay, reverb, and compression and get an excellent tone. I am really impressed with the seeming quality of this unit physically and function wise. I can even see that for a solo set up one guitar/one mic, this unit could do a great job into a powered speaker. I'll probably test it out with my Yamaha DXR-10 or 12 to see. I imagine it could be the center of a compact one person PA system. So, though it was an impulse buy, I'm glad I bought it and I suspect that I'll find additional ways to fold it into my music doings.

I'm using it in my "cave" going into powered monitors. I'll probably give it a go tomorrow into one of my powered PA speakers. It works great as a desktop mixer to the powered studio monitors and I have no reason to think that it won't work great with the PA speakers. I've only used it with my guitar, not a microphone. Probably need to test it with a mic. I may do that in a little while.

By any chance is there a USB out on this device?

Yes but only for firmware updates via a PC.

GigMix4 Testing Followup
I tested my gigmix with a microphone. Discovered that it doesn't have phantom power which, for my use, is not a big deal. Sounds good with a dynamic mic. Plugged it into my Yamaha DXR-10 and, as expected, it sound really nice.
When I powered the gigmix off before powering off the speakers, I found out why you shouldn't do that. Obnoxious nasty loud sound. No harm no foul but I'll remember not to power off in that order. I'm still impressed with this little box.
