Raven Labs PMBII (professional master blender)

Has anyone ever used one of these to blend their acoustic p-ups for playing live?? Sounds pretty promising and is supposed to be top dollar quality. I'm more interested in the fact that you have an EQ for both signals.

I use the PMB-1 (earlier model) and I've been tempted to upgrade but the main difference is more gain and the one I have has enough for my PA. The EQ is not parametric so some people complain about that, but the choices they made are pretty musical sounding to my ears. I think it's the best you can do for the money. If you spend a lot more, you can get something that sounds better (like a Pendulum). There are lots of boxes that sound a lot worse, though. I am happy with my Raven.

Ed Gerhard using one and he got the most beautiful amplified acoustic sound I've heard. Of course it might have something to do with a wonderful guitar and the tone in his fingers too.
