Dude, where’s my Bastl mini mixer?
New portable mixer will really tie the room together
Bastl Instruments has dropped Dude, a new mini mixer that’s designed to be used with its diminutive Kastle synth - and any other portable production tool for that matter.
The battery-operated, five-channel audio mixer is decked out with mini jack inputs and output.
With a firm eye on performance, each channel has a dedicated mute button and up to +20dB gain to boost weak signals and saturate line-level signals.
Even though it’s monophonic, Dude will still be able to drive your headphones, so you should find it perfectly suitable for small setups, portable rigs and live performances.
- 5 channel monophonic mixer
- up to +20dB (10x) gain knob for each channel
- dedicated mute button switch per channel (not click less)
- dual mono output for driving headphones
- powered by 4x AA battery or external adaptor 9-12VDC
The Dude is available now for €75 and you’ll find more information on the Bastl Instruments website and buy direct on Noise Kitchen.

I take care of the reviews on MusicRadar and Future Music magazine, though can sometimes be spotted in front of a camera talking little sense in the presence of real musicians. For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
