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:
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 soundhole 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.
And it’s not only an A/B pedal with a mixer, it is the heart of Fishman’s unique AFX Dual Path ecosystem. By using common TRS audio cables, you assign effects on either tip or ring signal paths and essentially switch between two ‘scenes,’ each with mix levels you control.
All AFX Minis are compatible with standard guitar instrument cables. They also feature an innovative dual channel audio path that lets you create two independent effect chains with a single series of cables.

In order to pack a lot of functionality into the smallest stompbox size we could find, AFX Mini's require external power. Be sure to use Fishman 910-R(120VAC) or 910-U(230VAC) power adapter to ensure the above specs.
Pressing the footswitch toggles between mix A, mix B, or mute, as determined by the A/B Mode switch described below. In order to offer you a fully-analog product, an A/B LED status was not possible. This is the same as other passive A/B pedals, so the LED only indicates the pedal is receiving proper power.
There are 4 input faders that let you setup 2 mixes, one for A and one for B. When you press the footswitch, you toggle these mixes which are sent to the outputs. How these levels are mixed and routed is ultimately determined by the A/B Modes switch that sits directly above the mix faders.
Pressing the footswitch toggle between the mix you set above for A and B, but there's a twist. With the A/B Modes switch you can choose to mix these signals in a variety of ways.
Unlike other pedals in the AFX family, the AFX Pocket Blender does not exclusively process effects on either the tip or ring signals. Instead, it is your master controller for selecting, mixing, and outputting these tip and ring signals. For this reason, we have provided two independent outputs to help you easily manage your audio path needs.
A tiny switch on the front of the pedal is designed to electrically isolate the pedal from other electronic devices. Normally, leave this switch set to Ground. Should a ground hum occur, set this switch to Lift.
See a few examples showing how the AFX Pocket Blender mixes signals.
