>From your description, I'd say that a decent mixer is probably overkill for what you want to do and certainly a pricier piece of gear like a Switchblade is a waste of money. It seems to me that you'd want a mixer with the following characteristics: - at least 4 stereo line level inputs - at least 1 stereo aux send (&return) for the effects loop At that point, you've got full control of which inputs (your instruments) are going to the final outputs and how much of each is being routed to the aux send (your effects). I'd imagine the following would be examples of mixers that would suit your need: - Behringer Eurorack UB2222 Mixer - Behringer Eurorack Pro RX1602 Line Mixer The sticking point may be a stereo aux send as I think most aux sends are mono. Of course, you can run two mono aux sends and treat them as a stereo pair. Otherwise, there's no reason you couldn't use the monitor out as a send, re-routing it back to an empty stereo input (or pair of mono inputs.) Just beware feedback loops caused by sending your return back out the effects loop. Todd On 9/8/06, mark sottilaro <zerocrossing2001@yahoo.com> wrote: > OK...
