We say...
What sets Mixing Flask apart from other three-channel utility mixers is the soft-clipping limiting circuit on the mix-bus (inspired by their ace Doppio module), a healthy 6dB of extra gain, and the eye-catching chemical lab-inspired front panel with lights galore. We love it!
Manufacturer's description
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.
I designed Mixing Flask as a solution to my main 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!
Features
- Three different flavors of saturation on the mix output (hard clipping, soft/hard clipping, or soft-limiting)
- Three inputs with up to +6dB of gain, and bipolar monitor lights
- One mix output with three-stage bipolar monitor lights (signal present, signal nominal, hard-clipping warning)
- Backlit chemical-lab-inspired front-panel graphics
Use cases
- Mix oscillator waveforms without the risk of hard-clippin
- 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!
- Width: 4HP
- Depth: 36mm
- Power: 36 mA +12V / 36 mA -12V / 0 mA 5V

These times are estimates and are not guaranteed. Delivery may occasionally take a little longer due to customs processing, local conditions, or carrier delays.
Dispatch times
Orders placed before 15:00 CET (Central European Time) on a working day are normally dispatched the same day. Orders placed after 15:00 CET, or on weekends and public holidays, will be dispatched on the next working day.
If you have an urgent order, please email us at info@signalsounds.eu before placing your order and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch at info@signalsounds.eu if you have questions.
