The ST-MIX is an accessory pedal that integrates the Memory Lane delay and other stereo effect pedals into a multi-amp stereo sound field setup. A special PAN IN input allows the user to place the output of an effect anywhere between two amplifiers - this makes it possible for example to run a stereo chorus wide out to two amps while placing a mono delay output in between the two amps. Multiple output path options including a straight-through bypass for the left channel allow optimization for particular multi-amp setups, with integral transformer isolation for the right channel to mitigate ground loop hum. A phase footswitch allows on the fly in-phase / out-of-phase switching of the left-right output channels. The ST-MIX ships standard with a DC patch cable for integration between the Memory Lane (or Halo) power source (AC adapter or pedal power supply), and the Memory Lane or Halo. For those wishing to use an ST-MIX in a configuration without access to an existing Memory Lane or Halo AC adapter, please contact us at info@diamondpedals.com to order one. |

NEW! We've started adding some ST-MIX sound samples. Our good friend Jamie Robinson came by the studio and played the following: Sample 1 (clean): Valley Arts Custom Pro guitar into the Memory Lane then ST-MIX out to two amps. The ST-MIX was used to put the two amps out of phase with each other. Sample 2 (clean w/modulation): Valley Arts Custom Pro guitar into the Memory Lane then ST-MIX out to two amps. The ST-MIX was used to put the two amps out of phase with each other. Sample 3 (Fireburst): Valley Arts Custom Pro guitar into the Fireburst, then Memory Lane, then ST-MIX out to two amps. The ST-MIX was set for in-phase operation. Each sample above has the left channel taken from the ST-MIX left bypass output out to a Fender custom shop reissue '64 Vibroverb, and right channel taken from the ST-MIX right output out to a Fender reissue Bassman LTD. Both channels were mic'd with an SM57, and recorded through an API 3124+ mic preamp to an Alesis HD24XR. No additional EQ'ing or compression was performed on the sound files. NEW! More samples, this time Telfer's 18-year old guitarist Bobby McIsaac playing a Fender '70s strat into a J-Drive MK3 then an ST-MIX out to two amps. Each sound sample begins with a no drive segment followed with the MK3 engaged. Each sample has the left channel taken from the ST-MIX left output out to a Fender custom shop reissue '64 Vibroverb, and right channel taken from the ST-MIX right output out to a Fender reissue Bassman LTD. Both channels were mic'd with an SM57, and recorded through an API 3124+ mic preamp to an Alesis HD24XR. No additional EQ'ing or compression was performed on the sound files. Sample 1 (drive): Fender '70s strat into the MK3's overdrive channel then to the ST-MIX out to two amps. The ST-MIX was used to put the two amps in phase with each other. Sample 2 (clean boost + drive): Fender '70s strat into the MK3's clean boost and overdrive channels in series then to the ST-MIX out to two amps. The ST-MIX was used to put the two amps in phase with each other. With the clean boost and drive engaged, it got a bit loud and we got some digital clipping at the inputs to the HD24XR hard disk recorder...oops!

- left, right and PAN IN inputs (the left signal is automatically routed to both left and right outputs if no plug is inserted on the right channel input) - left, right and left bypass outputs - PAN sound-field placement of the PAN IN input between the left and right outputs - increased signal headroom with 15V internally regulated power supply and specially designed discrete JFET input stages - switchable transformer output isolation of the right channel - in-phase / out-of-phase footswitch control - adapter passthrough jack and included path cable allows a single Memory Lane power adapter (or 18V Y-crossover cable) to power both an ST-MIX and Memory Lane - genuine Hammond cast aluminium case - MSRP of $199 US - full stereo outputs with the following configurations: LEFT + PAN IN inputs connected: LEFT is sent to both left and right outputs, PAN IN can be panned between left and right outputs. The phase switch can be used to invert the phase of the LEFT signal sent to the right output before being mixed with the PAN IN signal. |
