I'm looking for a mixer to handle two mics and one or two guitars with pickups and preamps in them.

The uses will be recording me and my harmonica playing partner at home for working on arrangements, timing, etc. and possibly for the odd gig.

I have a chance to pick up a Radio Shack 8080 mixer — nine channels, three of which are mic ports — for about half the new price, but I'm a little leary of it.

Would appreciate any comments from M'catters who have more experience with these things — including suggestions on other mixers and price ranges.

thanx, david
