The Bastl Dude is a portable battery-operated 5 channel audio mixer with mini jack inputs and mix output. Each channel has a dedicated mute button and up to +20dB gain to boost weak signals and saturate line level signals. The Dude is a monophonic mixer but has been designed so that it can drive your headphones, so it’s perfect for small portable rigs or creating sub-mixes on stage. It runs on four AA batteries (or external power supply) and it is almost as small as its battery pack. Because each channel has high enough gain – it can be turned into a tone generator by feeding the output back to an input thru a passive eq and other simple circuits.
