Fishman AFX Mini Pocket Blender A/B/Y & DI Pedal | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Fishman AFX Pocket Blender Mini is a remarkably versatile utility pedal that combines an A/B/Y splitter, a two-channel mixer, a balanced DI box, and a clean booster into one compact, pedalboard-friendly package. Built specifically with Fishman acoustic-electric systems in mind, it gives players with dual-source pickups — onboard mic plus under-saddle pickup — precise, instant control over how those signals are blended, routed, and sent to the house. It's an essential tool for any serious acoustic performer at No Limit Guitar Co in Idaho Falls looking to get more out of their live rig.
Product Overview
The Pocket Blender Mini is designed for acoustic-electric guitar systems that output both a microphone signal and an under-saddle pickup signal through a single TRS cable — a common configuration in many Fishman systems. The pedal splits the TRS cable's tip and ring outputs and gives you four switchable A/B/Y routing combinations: A+B/A, A+B/B, A+B/Mute, and A/B. A single footswitch lets you flip between these combinations on the fly, making it practical for live performance where quick tonal shifts matter.
Four independent level faders — two per signal — allow you to build two distinct preset blends from your combined tip and ring sources. This opens up real creative flexibility on stage: dial in a full, blended tone for rhythm playing and a hotter, pickup-forward sound for leads, then switch between them instantly with your foot. The Pocket Blender can also function as a clean boost pedal by pushing a signal's level fader up, adding another layer of utility without requiring an additional pedal on your board.
On the output side, the pedal features both a standard A/B/Y output and a balanced DI output for running directly into a PA or front-of-house system — eliminating the need for a separate DI box in your live setup. A switchable Ground/Lift toggle handles unwanted hum and noise that can arise from ground loops in complex stage rigs. While the Pocket Blender is primarily designed for stereo TRS sources, it can also function as a Y splitter for mono sources when needed.
Ideal For
- Acoustic-electric guitarists using Fishman dual-source systems with an onboard mic and under-saddle pickup
- Live performers who need to switch instantly between two distinct blended tones during a set
- Players looking to consolidate their A/B/Y splitter, DI box, and mixer into a single compact pedal
- Acoustic guitarists running direct to PA who need a reliable, balanced DI output built into their signal chain
- Gigging musicians at the Idaho Falls guitar shop seeking a practical utility pedal that reduces pedalboard clutter
Key Features
Four Switchable A/B/Y Routing Combinations Choose from A+B/A, A+B/B, A+B/Mute, and A/B routing configurations and switch between them instantly with the footswitch — giving you immediate access to different signal combinations mid-performance without interrupting your playing.
Four-Fader Input Mixer Two level faders per signal channel let you construct two completely independent blend presets from your tip and ring inputs, making it easy to set up a distinct rhythm tone and a separate lead tone before you hit the stage.
Balanced DI Output The onboard balanced DI output lets you run directly into a PA or mixing console without a separate DI box, simplifying your stage setup and reducing the number of pieces of gear between your guitar and the house system.
Switchable Ground/Lift Toggle The Ground/Lift switch eliminates hum and noise caused by ground loops — a common issue in live stage environments — keeping your signal clean and quiet regardless of the complexity of your rig.
Clean Boost Functionality By pushing a signal channel's level fader, the Pocket Blender doubles as a clean boost pedal, adding another practical function without requiring an extra pedal on your board.
