- The Eventide MixingLink is a high quality microphone preamp with an effects loop that allows singers to easily use their stomp boxes as vocal effects.
However, the Mixing Link has many other uses for both studio and live musicians, making it an essential piece of gear.
The MixingLink is all this and more:
High Quality Studio Mic Pre
True 48volts of phantom power
An amazing tool for mic placement for engineers & studio owners
Footswitch-controlled Effects Loop
65dB Boost Pedal
A/B switch for 2 guitars & 1 amp
A/B switch for 1 guitar & 2 amps
Re-Amp Box
Active Direct Box w/ Ground Lift
One pedal to control your entire pedal board
Ability to use acoustic guitars, vocals, basses, keyboards & drum machines with your guitar pedals
Practice Amp w/ Stereo Aux In for backing tracks
Headphone Amp for practice
Personal Mixer

Thank you for this!
can this be use in the fx loop of say 150 watt powered PA mixer ,to enhance all mics plugged into the board ?
That really depends on the flexibility of the mixer. The MixingLink only has one microphone input and one preamp. You could certainly go into this before the channel strip. If you're thinking of sending multiple mics channels from the mixer, they would probably have already gone through the preamp stage and you may encounter some gain-staging issues. You could probably set it up on an Aux if you wanted to use it as a you would any other effect pedal.
I was looking at this but read Amazon reviews of it being noisy. Any truth to this?
We use ours with no problems at all. I believe some of the first run of units had a glitch in which they made a noise but that has since been fixed. The one negative review on Amazon was from 2016. We used ours in this recent video and you can’t hear any noise: czcams.com/video/BTgrfa0iXEg/video.html
Is there something wrong with just getting a mic cable that connects to guitar pedal inputs? Can it damage the pedal?
Microphones are low impedance whereas guitars are high impedance (Hi-Z). If you first added an impedance matching transformer you might get the guitar effect to an extent but would probably have difficulty hearing it unless you went into a preamp first. The Hi-Z input is not designed to faithfully reproduce the human voice and would probably not sound good either. It wouldn't damage the pedal though since active pickups output higher voltage signals.
The MixingLink not only takes care of all this, but it makes everything sound amazing because of the studio quality mic pre with circuitry designed to do just that and a whole lot more. If you haven't seen the commercial, watch this to learn about how the MixingLink is the studio/live Swiss Army Knife:

+Training Snacks ah i see, thanks for the reply. peace.
One other thing I forgot to mention. If you plug it directly into a pedal the signal will be 100% wet whereas the MixingLink allows you to blend the wet signal with the dry signal so you can add a subtle amount if you want.
+Training Snacks Oh damn yeah blending in the effect would be super handy. thanks for all the info man
Training Snacks -Will this let me run xlr studio gear in my guitar amp fx loop?
Yes! That is what it is design to do. The MXLNK FX sends and returns are balanced. You just need to have TRS 1/4” to XLR adapter cables.
So...
- Gtr Amp 1/4” FX loop output unbalanced to MXLNK 1/4” Line In or Inst in (depends on level coming out of Amp FX loop out)
- MXLNK FX loop out with TRS 1/4” to XLR Male adapters cables to studio gear
- Studio gear XLR female to TRS 1/4” MXLNK FX loop return
- Gtr Amp FX loop in unbalanced from MXLNK Amp out
@@Trainingsnacks -Whoah! I could, though would be crazy to, run a Fairchild Tube comp in my FX chain? Unreal. Thank you for the reply. I want to run a Neve 542 Tape emulator, btw!
@@Trainingsnacks -just subbed. Thanks again!
@@russellwilson9740 That sounds amazing! Please take a video of it and share it with us.
