Mixing tank
What to say? It was and industry standard in the 90's studios, now cheaper than ever but still a great choice over some digital gear: just add a good audio interface, maybe behind its 8-submixes as if it was a multitrack tape recorder. Crystal-clear sound, near unlimited routing attitude (what a school is it!), almost uncolored mix and very high dynamics. Robust and made to last, even PSU can resist to herky-jerky voltage fluctuations... and a beast on stage too with all these send/return knobs...

Pretty clean
You can get very high gain without a lot of noise, and the harmonic distorion is awsome. At least for its price if you use it just a summing box with some analog sound, still worth that money.
