TRI PARALLEL MIXER 

Effects Loop Mixer/Switcher 

 

Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix Tri Parallel 
Mixer!  The Tri Parallel Mixer can be used in multiple configurations for a 

variety of switching and mixing applications.  Use it to switch between or 
mix up to three separate effects loops.  Send a guitar or other 
instrument out to three separate amplifiers, or input three separate 

instruments to switch between or mix to a single output.  Mix effects in 
parallel to create sounds and allow for options not possible when using 

effects in series (one after another).  These are a few examples of the 
multiple ways to incorporate the Tri Parallel Mixer into your setup.   

 

 

- USING THE TRI PARALLEL MIXER - 

Plug the 9VDC adapter into the jack on the top left of the Tri Parallel 

Mixer.  There are multiple ways to configure your setup, the most typical 
configuration is shown below: a guitar based setup for mixing and/or 

switching between three separate effects loops.

Parallel Mixer requires

 at 9VDC with a center negative plug.  Use of the wrong 

adapter or a plug with the wrong polarity may damage your Tri Parallel Mixer and void 

the warranty.
