What is NEW (1.01) 

– Added popup window for memory recall via foot switches. When the foot switches are assigned to “M- M+” if pressing a foot switch results in a memory being loaded (at least two memories are not empty), a page pops up showing the number of the recalled memory in large font.

– Added “1-4   FX” mode in the footswitch assign list. In this mode footswitch A mutes all channels at once and footswitch B mutes both the reverb and the delay at once.

– Added “M<  >A” mode to the output routing list for both Out1 and Out2. In this mode the left side of the output jack gets a mono version of the main mix, while the right side gets a mono version on the aux mix.  – you can now route your Dry signal using the Aux Mix and send it out on OUTPUT 1 MONO Right.

What is NEW (1.02)

FREQUENT QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

1) Can +9VDC be used to power the StompMix 4?

– Yes, just make sure it is 2.1mm Centre Positive. 9V or 12V 500mA.  Most Pedal board power supplies come with Negative Centre, a polarity reverse cable is needed to connect Negative Centre Power supplies to the StompMix 4.

2) Can I plug Passive Pickups directly into the StompMix4?

– Yes, most K&K passive pickup systems work with the StompMix 4.

(some very low output passive pickups might not work well.)

3)  Too Much Hiss on the outputs?

– Make sure the GAIN level knobs for Channel 1 and Channel 2 are NOT at MAX.

– Reduce the MIX input level to be about 12 o’clock for each channel.

– Check for possible Ground Loops

– Make sure to use Active Pickups or higher output Passive Pickups.

– Make sure output is “NOT” going into High Impedance Inputs on your Amplifier or PA system. Outputs from StompMix 4 should be connected to Line Inputs on the Amplifier or PA system.

– No, Delay can only be used one channel at a time. It is assignable.

5) Can Channel 3 and 4 be used for Guitar with Passive Pickup?

– Yes. Most K&K passive Pickup systems will work.

*** CHAN 3 and CHAN 4 (TS jacks) *** we don’t recommend these inputs to be used with very low output Passive Pickups.

Current production – Serial Number starts with “X42U” – use Stereo TRS cables.
