Bastl sent over one of the funnest distortion modules I´ve ever laid my hands on. In this video I go over its general features and show you a bit of what it can do. Hope you like it!
Disclaimer: Bastl sent me a unit for review, yet they have no say over the contents of this video. I´m not being paid for this review and they don´t see it before you do.

I just got one of these things and it's an invaluable toy / tool. Amazing little box with tons of oomph very musical distortion. DIY hack: if you take the cover off you can color code the LEDs by painting the underside of their windows with translucent/neon acrylic paint. And if you want to change or remove a color, it just peels right off.

Ok I have an issue where I have an Mpc hydrasynth rtymmk2 digitakt 2 and octatrack mk2 what would you recommend me using as a small footprint mixer I see this and wondered if this would work as I ha the digitakt going into the rtym into a+b on octatrack but I can run the mpc and hydra into the c+d on the octatrack so. Could you please recommend a small footprint mixer with 3 or 4 stereo inputs that would lead into the octatrack many thanks
@horstdunoch3546
@horstdunoch3546 Год назад
Ok. So... Basically... If you do fuzz/distortion with that gain, you'll need another mixer after because that track will be much louder than the other... Cool. :D
@I.O.M.
@I.O.M. Год назад
Question. I know the hack for the dude is to split channel 5 and run it back into the mixer. Does the new feedback channel actually do anything different or just built that in?
@vaclav_mach
@vaclav_mach Год назад
Yes, it’s basically that - in stereo - and with a slight low pass filter for more “warm” sound. The advantage of this is that it will keep the Mix Out free to use and you don’t have to use a splitter. And you can still use Ch 3 as a regular input if you plug something into it. There is also tuning trimmer on the right side of Bestie to tune the feedback left-right amount. Since Bestie is a pure analog device, the various tolerances cause the feedback is not equal by default - that can be adjusted by the trimmer. Without the trimmer you would have to use a cable with a pot or something to adjust it.
@757SoundLab
@757SoundLab Год назад
I can’t find the answer to this question, is the output mono or stereo? The manual just says it’s a 3.5mm Jack output, and the pictures have one speaker. Can it be split with TRS into true stereo? You said there’s no pans, but could do panning later in DAW or on a mixer if it’s not mono or just two of the same mono tracks.
@vaclav_mach
@vaclav_mach Год назад
The both outputs (Mix Out and Headphones) are regular stereo outputs using TRS jacks. The outputs keep the L+R signals separated the same way as they were on the input. There is no “mono mixdown”, only mono thing is that you can use “R” input of channels 1 and 5 as a mono input (eg. from eurorack or a guitar) using mono cables. That will “copy” the signal to both sides. Or you can use two mono patch cables for separate L+R for channels 1 and 5 (again, for eurorack use).

@@vaclav_mach Awesome, this is what I was hoping! I was just worried since I couldn’t find anything explicitly talking about the output in the manual.

@vaclav_mach
@vaclav_mach Год назад
Have you seen how small Bestie actually is? Yes, pan/balance could be there, but mute switches would have to be removed. There is just no space for an additional controls/features… Sure, you can get more features for “better price” buying a “small” noname/behringer/… mix, but they all will be much bigger. You can get more features in similar size with TX-6, but that’s 5 times more expensive. Bestie has a full metal case and high quality potentiometers and other components, we just wanted to make the best smallest stereo mixer for a reasonable price so here it is ☺️ (I’m writing “we”, because I’m the main developer of Bestie.)

Way too expensive for what it is. You take a xenyx or a MicroMix MX600 6x stereo with 6.35 jacks (almost same size) and a disto pedal and you have something better for less. Bastl Bestie is just a way of making money with cheap hardware...
