A couple of things to consider: Raven Labs makes a 1/2 rack, single space, battery or AC operated 3 channel (with a 4th stereo input) line mixer/DI, the MDB1, which has a parallel aux send/return, but no headphone jack. Very high quality and works great with loopers. It is my primary input mixer for my rig. Probably the cleanest and clearest little mixer I have ever heard. I have also used a MidiMan MultiMixer6, which is a very small (a bit bigger than a cassette tape) 6 channle stero line mixer, with a headphone, but no fx loop. Since it is discrete stereo L and R you can set the pans to use one output as a send and return to an open channel. Very handy and can be found quite a bit on ebay for around $50. You could always get the Raven Labs mixer AND a MidiMan mixer and use the Midiman just as your headphone amp (I do this in one configuration of my rig) Midiman also makes a MultiMixer 18 (which is discontinued, but also pops up on ebay quite a bit), which is a very compact "table top" line mixer, but quite small...about the size of a VHS tape..with 18 inputs, 2 parallel aux sends/returns, stereo outs and a headphone amp. These run in the $100-150 ballpark. These little MidiMan mixers are quite handy, very quiet, with true gain control rather than volumes, and very versatile. I have a couple of them that I keep in my gig bag "just in case"..great for running submixers off a board to DAT or minidisc and such.
