Sorry I didn't get back here sooner. I'm not familiar with the way a mixer would be added in.....

No problem, thank you for your diagram!

Alternatively you can use the ExtIn (you must have MP1 in Mix1 - 1 input) to feed the Fx L/R and then you can return Fx outs to Mix1 - ch 2 or 3 or 4 as the ExtIn is a duplicate of the signal at Mix1 - ch 1 in only (so wont feedback)
If you want to go with a line mixer, the Alesis or similar will suit you better, 8 inputs, 1 x stereo Fx send
With the spilitmix you can add more Fx. All the SM inputs and outputs are stereo jacks so make some stereo jack to 2 x mono jacks (or buy insert leads). This is the way MikeB ran his rig for a while. The main reason he went back to chaining through his GMaj2 (4 CM style) was to pick up the GMaj2s CC (ie master volume control). You loose a little level with the SM coz it's passive but it's easily compensated for with the level controls on the MP1 and Fx unit.I posted a fair bit about this setup before (IIRC when you bought yours as well ?), my main goal was to keep the signal path from MP1/2 to power amp all analogue (as most more recent Fx units digitise the input).

How about the Alesis MultiMix 8?
FEATURES:
Eight-channel stereo line mixer
Microphone/line input on channel one
Stereo effects bus which can be shared between two linked units
Channel expansion feature for expansion to 16 stereo input channels
Individual Pan and Effects Send controls on each channel
Signal clip and overload LEDs on each input channel
Stereo five-stage LED ladder for output level indication
Stereo monitor out
Mono input source compatibility for stereo output
1RU 19-inch standard equipment rack size

That was the one I had in mind (there are a couple of other similar 1 RU line mixers also), it's perfect except it only has 1 stereo send, and why I haven't bought one :facepalm: . But you could use the MP1 headphone out as another stereo send (albeit it has the top end reduced (similar to a cab sim) as headphones are full range. Or you can take a mono out from the MP1 loop send (this is pre chorus just after the tube/gain and Eq stage, and always active (the MP1 return turns the loop on/off via the individual patch Loop in/out status).You could also use a pair of Y leads to duplicate the Alesis sends for an additional Fx
But you can run 2 parallel stereo sends/returns with the split mix, you'd need to make (or buy) 6 stereo jack to 2 x mono jack (insert) leads.Mp1 > Splitter Input, Splitter output 1 and 3 to the 2 x stereo Fx L/R inputs, Stereo Fx L/R out puts > Mixer inputs 2 & 4, Mixer output > poweramp > 2 x cabsRemember all the split mix jack sockets are stereo. So this will make a full stereo, all analogue direct MP1 path to cabs with 2 stereo Fx mixed in in parallel.
