Solved!
For the FA tour we used a very tiny Mackie 402, great pre-amp but dosen't meet your requirements. Any mackie is good, best mixers on the market IMO. Always unrationally hated anything Alesis, horrible build and design.
Heard good things about the old BOSS mixers, look 'em up at bossarea
Tapco's? budget but from Mackie.
Love my 4 channel Sampson MDR624. Nice portable 4 channel with good eq and otherwise simple to use. Quite affordable too.

Is Tapco, Mackie produced? Didn't know that. But sure explains why the spare Tapco I have sounds so good. Come to think of it I have too many mixers lying around, need to find me a new proper Mackie tho' the vintage one I have is starting hum a little too much

i think the stuff is pretty good for it's money.
Yeah happy with mine as well, even if I don't really use it these days, flimsy design and that yellow color is a drawback compared to big brother I guess, but the guts sure are quality
I've currently got a Behringer XENYX 802 Mixer. It's not a bad little mixer for the price. The one drawback is it doesn't have mute functionality. Audible Disease makes a 4 channel kill switch, but for the price it seems like I'd do just as well to get a new mixer.
Can anyone suggest a decent small mixer with mute switches? 4-5 channels would be great.
