The blender lets create two separate mixes of two different audio sources, the reverb three adjustable options, Hall, Plate, and Spring. The looper has WAV file transfer via USB and 24-bit / 44.1kHz recording quality, and the EQ/preamp has five bands, including Low Cut and Brilliance, and phase control. Plus, they are all conveniently small in size.

AFX Pocket Blender Mini A/B/Y + DI Changes Everything
Fishman AFX Pocket Blender Mini Features include:
* Balanced D.I. Output with Ground Lift
* Innovative Dual Path Routing
* Super Compact Design Fits Almost Anywhere
* 9V External Power Required (sold separately)
All the essential tools in one compact pedal. A level-adjustable A/B pedal. A built-in DI output with ground-lift. A boost pedal. An output Y-splitter. A two-channel mixer. The AFX Pocket Blender is the ultimateA/B/Y pedal combining four essential tools:
1 – an Input Mixer that lets you continuously adjust the level of audio source(s) connected to the TRS input
2 – a D.I. output featuring Fishman’s balanced line driver circuit that can be used to send to a house PA or amplifier
3 – an ABY output to split a signal or connect to one or two stage amps
4 – an A/B Mode switch determines the overall behavior when the footswitch is pressed
This is the classic Pocket Blender in a small footprint.
Without even touching the A/B features, it’s a mini two-channel mixer allowing you to connect two audio sources and blend them together. This is perfect for dual-source systems such as Fishman sound hole pickups that feature a mic or body pickup.
Build on the simple blender by setting up an “A mix” and a “B mix” where pressing the footswitch toggles between one mix and the other. You could balance your onboard pickup (50%) with your onboard mic (50%) on mix A. Then on mix B, which you use to take solos, you could boost the pickup to 75% while leaving the mic on 50%. All with a single stomp of the footswitch.
Hall, Plate & Spring provide ambiance while preserving acoustic tone
The Reverb Time knob controls how long you hear the effect, and ranges from short to very large spaces. Tone knob affects only the reverb and not your direct sound. Similarly, the Level knob adds the effect into your signal chain without overwhelming the sound of your instrument.
Three reverbs designed for acoustic guitar
Spring
Recreates the classic sound of a spring type reverb found in many electric guitar amplifiers
Hall
An all-around reverb with natural, resonate spaces capable of replicating rooms both small and large, with long reverb decay times
Plate
Recreates the dense reflections and metallic characteristics of mechanical plate reverbs used throughout the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s
