brent @notbrent.dev · 29/12/2025one thing to notice re: price difference with other mixers - i had original l6 for a year and resold it on marketplace, it was very easy to sell for $315 cad. they hold their value pretty well, less expensive mixers may not 000
brent @notbrent.dev · 29/12/2025i see in your profile you’re in quebec, maybe check out moogaudio. i’m not in any way affiliated although i’m aware this reads as an elaborate ad i assure you it isn’t, lol. it looks like you can get it with 10% discount on their boxing week sale 210
brent @notbrent.dev · 29/12/2025here’s the l6 max in my desk. this has mic, my guitar, pedalboard (stereo), and three stereo synths connected. still room for one more haha. also, connected to computer via usb so i can use it as an interface. master out goes to monitors, monitor out to headphones, sub out to a sampler 120
brent @notbrent.dev · 29/12/2025actually normal l6 (sans max) would also be plenty for your use case 210
