Looks a bit like the bastl dude!

I have a dude, appreciate the small footprint but would love to find a small mixer with stereo panning - not necessarily stereo inputs but outputs. The land devices mixer looks great

two dudes, dual dudes feedback loops, just two dudes bein dudes feeding back and just vibing in glorious stereo

(love my dude for making mono signals play in both my ears tbh, shout out dual mono)

I dunno dude with dudes - actually sounds like a pretty smart idea! I have just a plain grey bastl dude, from the first generation. Now I notice they’re on mark 3! Layout looks the same, any idea of differences apart from black colour?

I have an old one too, no idea what they changed other than the enclosure. there was a video of someone using two dudes in their pedal rig as effect busses or in stereo or something
 but I can’t find it and I can’t remember who it was
 but it wasn’t an original idea :slight_smile:

Wonder if the batteries are still exposed, didn’t bother me til I got a bad battery leak - maybe related. +1 for the dual mono shout-out btw!

This is aesthetically perfect!

Would be cool if the knobs went to 11 instead of 10 for that extra boost.

To me, this is the platonic ideal minimal mixer, visually.

Ditto on wishing the dude was stereo. Would’ve made for a great submixer.

this should be the Unicode symbol for ‘mixer’

Sound Devices 442 is where it’s at for me.

Fully professional quality and really flexible.

Lots of features, too.

Totally worth it if you can put up with the
Special cabling needed.

I’m a big fan of ElectroLobotomy’s passive 4-channel cut-up mixer. Good fun!

Currently posting from my phone, and having a hell of a time trying to embed a link in the text above. So I’m just going to leave the link here. Clumsy old man thumbs.

Looks like 5-pin DIN inputs, were those used for audio?

I know that old B&O equipment uses 5-pin din for audio. Maybe it was more common?

Yeah, I think they were used for stereo audio, actually. Had a B&O turntable for a while that used DIN.

Yes, extensively. Behind the iron curtain longer then elsewhere.

Fascinating, had no idea.

I like the use of Höhen (Height) and Tiefen (Depth) for what i assume would be a High and Low tone control. Sounds like the parameters for a norns script.
