ThreeTom Modular Mixing Flask (DIY Kit) [PRE-ORDER]

* THIS IS THE DIY KIT VERSION *

The Threetom Modular “Mixing Flask” is a utility mixer offering mix-bus limiting and a cornucopia of indicator lights integrated behind a unique chemical lab-inspired front panel. 

Mixing Flask was designed as a solution to three gripes with conventional utility mixers:

• • Mixing too hot is too easy, leading to hard clipping on the mix-bus. And even when there’s an indicator light to warn you when this is happening, there are no features to actively prevent it.
  • Utility mixers usually only offer unity gain, so when you have a weak input signal (like a MTM Radio Music), you’re out of luck
  • They’re nauseatingly boring

MIXING FLASK provides solutions to these annoyances in the following ways:

• • I’ve implemented a soft-clipping limiting circuit on the mix-bus (inspired by DOPPIO). The highest setting prevents the mix-bus from hard clipping altogether in favor of warm saturation.
  • All inputs have a gain of +6dB allowing you to better equalize between volumes while maintaining a hot mix-bus output
  • The myriad of indicator lights and front-panel graphics make you feel like a mad scientist in your modular chemical lab. I bet you won’t find another utility mixer that makes mixing more exciting than Mixing Flask!

Use cases:

• • Mix oscillator waveforms without the risk of hard-clipping
  • Mix CV signals while keeping an eye on what’s coming in and going out
  • Give a gentle boost to weak input signals (e.g. from a sampler module)
  • Have a utility mixer in your case that’s interesting to look at, and doesn’t bore you to death!
