Not especially small but just right for a one man studio, I use a peavy PV6. see that there is one up on ebay (UK) for £70. Don’t know the seller but has decent feedback. Sort of recommend this mixer though. Its one of the worst ebay photos i have seen.

Can anyone recommend a mixer for me? I’m after:
4 mono input channels
4 stereo input channels
PFL for all channels
3-band EQ on all channels, with sweepable mid-range
2 x mono aux sends, 2 x stereo aux returns
Able to fit on a small desk with other gear
Something like the Mackie 1202VLZ is frustratingly close to being perfect, but it lacks sweepable mids: is there anything out there of a similar size / price which includes them?

The Bastl Dude has been around for a while now, does anyone have any experience with it yet? Noise issues, battery life, ect.?
Considering something ultra portable for an OP-1 > OP-Z > Norns setup.

I’ve never seen a small format mixer with sweepable mids on stereo channels: even bigger consoles don’t have them. There are a few Soundcraft and A&H with sweepable mids on mono channels that could bring you close…
Little rechargeable DJ style mixer
And the even more minimal

Nice find. Diggin that RPM-100. Think I’ll order one.
Not super minimal, but still quite small for the features:

I’m seriously considering this for the future, since I’m looking for something small, which will work both as a mixer and multi-channel audio interface.
What I think makes this very interesting is: two AUX busses (albeit only mono, which is a bit of a missed opportunity imho), 4 return channels from the DAW and a simple built-in recorder (for the master track only though). K-Mix still wins over this one, but it’s also more expensive, and I’m not sure about the touch-based interface.

That looks really interesting! I am thinking about replacing my portapro four track for a while, just to be able to quickly bring recordings with me on my phone.
So the recording feature here looks nice to have. Has anyone tried this out yet?
Just ran into another pretty minimal TEAC mixer, called “model 2”

Can the Bastl DUDE handle modular-strength signals? That could be handy for maximising the potential of a small external mixer, integrating guitar pedals, etc.

Not my auction but here is the ultimate minimal mixer (the kind used by the Philip Glass ensemble in the 70s) for sale ($400) in Maryland

This is a beauty. We need a small, modern version of this design.

back to the truly minimal, just picked this puppy up today. scratchy pots here and there, but everything works and the eq sounds very cool!
i thought it would be nice for a no-input mixer and my first try did not let me down:

Just saw this on Amazon - kind of gawdy looking (to me), but might fit the bill here. At $40 too 
although reviews are definitely spotty.
EDIT: so there’s actually a whole bunch of em… here’s sthe “LOOP” model at $70.

I can’t believe we haven’t talked about the Maker Hart LOOP Mixer before… it is a very interesting beast - because it is designed to be daisy-chained with others in a loop - where each station can “inject” one channel, and each station gets to make their own mix. Designed for groups with independent monitor mixes.
But I get the sense one could do something wickedly creative with a bunch of them…
