Bigwan Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) Hi guys, I'm currently using a little Behringer Xenyx 302 mixer as a glorified headphone amp but I'm looking for something a bit smaller that I can leave hooked up semi-permanently on my pedal board. Any suggestions? As small as possible, run from pedal supply, aux in are all necessities, xlr/jack combo input would be great, volume for each input ideally... Edit: I realise I'm basically describing a Darkglass Element, but I'm looking for something WAY cheaper than that...

evan47 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 The ZOOM B1Four , at the end of your board or just use it on its own. Hours of silent fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Behringer P2. I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naxos10 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 There is a Palmer pre-amp pedal in the classifieds (either in effects or accessories threads) that might suit your application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boodang Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 TC Electronic Spectradrive. Aux in, headphone, xlr, toneprint compressor and overdrive, and not a bad price s/h. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eude Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I've got one of these and it's not bad at all. https://m.mooeraudio.com/product/Audiofile--47.html Of course, if my Sansamp had a headphone out, it wouldn't be necessary, but it does sound pretty good.

There was a Harley Benton one, just the same but possibly lower quality that came out last year that did, same format, but it seems to have vanished from the Thomann site.

Gone from trying to put yourself off the Darkglass Element to buying one in 5 days. We’ve all done it 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
