Electro-Harmonix Tri Parallel Mixerchat_bubble_outlineFrom real comments

Guitarists and bassists love it for blending parallel effects and amp tones. Commenters describe running modulation, delay, and reverb pedals in separate parallel loops, blending overdrives and fuzzes for unique tones, mixing multiple amp-in-a-box preamps, and combining guitar with synth chains. Several call it a long-requested, game-changing concept, comparing it favorably to the Boss LS-2 for offering a third parallel channel at a similar price point, and praising EHX for finally addressing parallel routing needs.

Many users are asking EHX for a stereo version with more features. Multiple commenters explicitly request a stereo edition with dual returns, stereo outputs, pan pots, and expression pedal jacks for blending volume-controlled effects like fuzz or overdrive. Others want more channels, such as a four-channel version, or the ability to reduce output as more channels are activated. Despite these wishlist items, the mono unit is still seen as very useful, just limited for stereo time-based and modulation effects.

Some practical confusion exists around switching behavior and bypass mode. Users ask whether switching channels causes popping, whether reverb or delay trails get cut off when changing loops, and whether the 'off' state is true bypass with working master/dry volume. Others question how send/return levels work, whether phase affects send or return, and how to activate X-OR mode, suggesting the pedal's flexibility comes with a real learning curve for some buyers.
