Re: Mic'ing 2 instruments to a single amp
Then a transformer combiner would be fine!

That may be so if the source levels are similar, but the balance control will be essential for the particular application I have in mind
Two M201s feeding a preamp in order to route around a pedal board - one will have the equivalent of a trumpet, the other rustling leaves - yes, I know, it’ll still be a challenge!

The balance control only has a +/-6dB range...

Re: Mic'ing 2 instruments to a single amp
?
Like many balance controls, the centre position gives 6dB of attenuation of both signals in the centre position to maintain a rough overall unity gain throughout the balance control travel (assuming both input signal levels were the same). The tech info states a maximum attenuation of 33dB (but no boost), so it would seem you can't totally silence one channel.
Reliably fallible.

Apologies, I misread / misunderstood the brochure.
You're quite right, it looks like the balance range is about 27dB.
