Beautifully blend your acoustic sound

The Fishman AFX Pocket Blender is not just your ordinary A/B pedal - it serves as a mini two-channel mixer. With this pedal, you can connect two audio sources and blend them together. This feature is particularly useful for setups with dual-source systems, such as Fishman soundhole pickups that include a mic or body pickup. It allows you to create a balanced mix of your onboard pickup and mic, giving you full control over your sound.

Taking the blending capabilities further, the AFX lets you set up an "A mix" and a "B mix" using the dedicated mix faders. By pressing the footswitch, you can effortlessly toggle between the two mixes. For example, on mix A, you can balance your onboard pickup with your onboard mic, both at 50 percent. On mix B, which is ideal for solos, you can boost the pickup level to 75 percent while keeping the mic at 50 percent. Achieving these precise mixes with a single stomp of the footswitch has never been easier.

The heart of the dual path ecosystem

The AFX Pocket Blender is not just an A/B pedal with a mixer, but it is also a crucial component of Fishman's unique AFX dual path ecosystem. By using common TRS audio cables, you can assign effects to either the tip or ring signal paths, essentially creating two different "scenes" with adjustable mix levels. The footswitch allows you to seamlessly switch between mix A, mix B, or mute, based on the A/B Mode switch configuration.

Multiple output options

To meet your audio path needs, the AFX Pocket Blender provides two independent outputs. Its ABY output uses the TRS output jack to split the audio signals, offering one output for mix A and another for mix B. This is perfect for choosing between two different amp rigs or creating a split path on your pedalboard. Additionally, the D.I. output allows you to select the audio from either the A or B setting, providing a balanced and isolated D.I. output for easily connecting to a single amplifier or mixer.

The AFX Pocket Blender features a tiny switch on the front that allows you to electrically isolate the pedal from other electronic devices. By default, this switch is set to ground, but if you encounter any ground hum issues, you can set it to lift to eliminate the humming noise. This ensures a clean and uninterrupted performance, making the AFX Pocket Blender a reliable addition to your music equipment setup.
