Bestie

The BASTL Instruments Bestie is a 5-channel stereo mixer and stereo distortion/saturator designed for creative signal processing, mixing, and feedback shaping. Each channel provides up to 20 dB of clean gain, with dedicated mute switches for live muting and switching.

Channels 1 and 5 support flexible connectivity, accommodating either dual mono cables or stereo jacks for various input configurations. **Features:** - 5-channel stereo mixer with up to 20 dB boost per channel - Built-in stereo distortion/saturator with pre-routed feedback - Mute switch on each channel for live muting and switching - Headphone output with loudness and pre/post mute monitoring - Flexible input options with mono/stereo compatibility on channels 1 and 5 - Stereo output for routing to speakers or other gear
