albertjohn Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I will be shortly selling my 335 to fund the purchase of a Bose L1 Compact which I can get at a very good price. The Bose does not have any reverb and only 2 channels. I will, occasionally, want to plug another mic and/or electric guitar into it via a pedal, so I'm looking for a small 4 channel mixer with reverb to do the job. The Bose T1 mixer is too expensive IMO. Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I can't remember the model no. but there's a really nice Yamaha mixer which I think would suit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buc McMaster Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I used to use a Bose Model 1 "stick" system for our band's PA, covering four vocal mics, two acoustic guitars and a couple on the drum kit with a small Mackie 12-chl mixer. I think the one we used has been replaced in the Mackie lineup with the ProFX Series of mixers, available in 8-chl and 12-chl models. Mackie ProFX8 Never had any trouble with it. Various FX onboard, phantom power available, good EQ section. A rugged package that served us well. There are many makers of small mixers....I just have experience with the Mackie products. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its Half the cost and has a great reveb SA 220 I love mine and for the price (I paid $750. U.S. NIB E-bay ) you may be able to keep the 339! JMHO your milage may vary.

It's a great idea. However, the retail price of the Fishman and the L1 Comapct are about the same over here and in fact I can get the Bose at slightly less than the Fishman. It constantly amazes me how much more we pay over here. Fishman circa £850 ($1,275 US), Bose circa £899 ($1,350 US). Both retail prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryp58 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 This is what I use. A very good product. I'm completely satisfied with it.

Good stuff. Thanks Buc. To be honest it's a little more than I was looking to spend (£200 over here) and a bit over the top for me and another singer maybe. Still a whole cheaper than the Bose T1 though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BT Bob Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I have an Alesis Multimix 4 USB. It's a great little piece of kit, with the added bonus of a USB output, so you can connect it to a PC or Mac for recording or some other processing. It works a treat with GarageBand on my Mac, for example. No built-in reverb, but at around £75 you could probably get a decent external Reverb unit. I got mine from Andertons - http://www.andertons.co.uk/studio-mixers/pid15800/cid605/alesis-multimix-4-usb.asp Or for not much more, there's the 8-channel with USB & Reverb, as well as other effects. http://www.andertons.co.uk/studio-mixers/pid19270/cid605/alesis-multimix-8-usb-mixer-with-fx.asp wish this one had been around when I bought mine..... :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to be great value and versatile too. http://www.behringer.co.uk/EN/Products/1002FX.aspx No, it has a wonderful FX Send where you can add reverb, chorus, or whatever effect you choose. I use it mostly for vocal mics. I do use it to mic my guitars when soloing. It's a very good product for the price. Simple and does what its supposed to do quite well. I highly recomend it! The one that you've linked is an upgrade from the one I have. It does have the effects. These are great little mixers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertjohn Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 Thanks for all the suggestions folks. Once again, the response has been absolutely brilliant and has saved me hours hoofing around the internet with no real clue what I'm looking for. This is not an urgent purchase but armed with all your suggestions, I now have some idea on what to look for. It's pretty gut wrenching to sell the 335. It's a guitar I have coveted for many, many years but I just don't play it. Time to pass it on to someone who will make use of it and try to improve what I really like doing i.e. playing in a pub with some mates, having a beer, a sing and a laugh. For the timebeing, I'm thinning out the herd where I want to buy new stuff. Thanks again. I'll let you know what I eventually get. Please post if there are any more ideas. Cheers everyone.

Versatile Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 This looks like the one versatile recommended too. Looks good. Thanks Yes that's the one...a really nice compact unit...effects including reverb and a useful compressor for vocals etc. Mine cost about £120 from Fairdeal Music in Midlands.
