Bose T4S Options
Hi, I'm looking for a small mixer, similar to the Bose T4S, that is less expensive. This mixer has all the features I'm looking for, but the price is too steep for my budget.
I need 2 channels, with decent EQ and effects, and I need it to be able to act as an audio interface. The EAE Gigmix looks good but doesn't have the audio interface feature. Any other ideas? Thanks. |

Bose T1 is pretty nice, and cheaper - just have to keep your eyes open -

Although discontinued, the Bose T1 Tonematch is a REALLY great little mixer/effects/preset gizmo! If you can find a used one in great shape, it shouldn't be too spendy. Be sure to get the Bose connecting cable (if you're using a Bose PA) and/or the AC adaptor if you're not; I'd look hard for one of the AC adaptors, not matter what, as it will be necessary to connect with any system that doesn't use that specific "Tonematch" cable!
I really can't say enough about the T1 with my Bose L1 Model II pa... it does FAR more than I really need for 6 and 12 string acoustic guitar and vocals... I'd be wary of buying any used T1 that isn't extremely clean, however...

Bose T1
I have a mint Bose T1 and electrical cord that is just sitting in my closet.
I use to record with it at home. It is an excellent tool. I will sell it to you if you want it. $150.00 which includes shipping. If interested email me at [email protected]. |

I just got in a Bose T4s - goodness, this is one slick compact mixer. I've been using a Bose L1c for over a decade now. Early on, I bought a Fishman Loudbox Mini to use for more EQ and effects, then a line out to the L1c. I thought the T1 was over-priced back then, and the LBM gave me another small amp option.
I will have a Yamaha MG12XUK and a Behringer XR-12 X-Air for sale soon. This T4s is enough for me for channels, and a smaller footprint.

The pre-set, custom EQ'd list of Martin guitars is pretty thin in my T1 but I don't know if that's been expanded in the T4S, or if there are more available for download. |

None of my guitars have the same pickup. I did use the Martin D28 for the Tonematch®, but tweaked the EQ on it to where it pleases my ear. The acoustic guitar I am playing the most these days is an Emerald X20 with an LR Baggs Element. But, it also sounds very nice with my X7 with a B-Band pickup, the the X10 with the factory Level 2 pickups. For grins, I ran the Epi SG with a Fender Mustang Micro into the T4s, using the Les Paul Tonematch® - I didn't have to tweak anything, but the Fluence pickups on the SG have a lot of tone options. Interesting to hear the L1c sound like a Twin Reverb or a Marshall... certainly not the way that PA has been used in the past. Same with running it through an S1 Pro - very pleased with the results. The T4s is pretty intuitive (but I did watch some videos).

Thanks much for that detailed and helpful answer, I appreciate it. By chance I was playing guitars with friends tonight, and plugged that GPRS1 into a buddy's Fishman Loudbox Mini--and it didn't sound half-bad. Either the beer dulled my senses or I can get better results with the equipment I already have, particularly the T1 Tonematch + Compact. Gonna experiment some more.

Any chance you could share your T1 settings for your Martin D28? TIA
