Last week, we exclusively broke the Thud Rumble themed TR-1s scratch mixer. It’s a DJ Tech DIF-1s in Thud’s clothing that got people reaching for their plastic, but with no means of putting their names down on one of the very limited edition units. But the pre-order is now live. But instead of the expected $199.99, for the lucky few who move quickly, it’s just $179.99.
Instead of just seeing pictures however, you can now see it in action courtesy of 2013 DMC SF champ DJ Traps. He delivers a cool 2 minute set on the TR-1s to show you that it really can deliver solid performance for not much money. Skills however are not included in the box.
SHUT UP AND JUST TAKE MY MONEY!
Is it any different then the first one released? Other than the face plate and knob color?
No difference at all.
anyone else notice at 1.43 in the video the record is still turning but the middle sticker is still??? maybe its just my eyes lol
what you’re seeing turning is called a slipmat
ah ok, i thought it was marbled vinyl with something strange going on in the middle:)
The controlvinyl are clear and the slipmats are white. As Cutselekta said, what you see is the slipmat spinning under the clear record.
What a great piece of gear, lovely and simple, good looks (much better than the DJ-Tech), and with a proper internal PSU to boot. If it had balanced outputs I’d be in, but then I can hardly complain at this price and target market. Just it’s fiddly and expensive to use converters. Fingers crossed for a ‘pro’ model!
I’ve been searching high and low and the cheapest price i can find this mixer for in the UK is £129 just wondering if anyone has had any luck sourcing one any cheaper…?
cheers
£129 sounds pretty good for a mixer like this. But is it this Thud Rumble model you have found in the UK? I imagine the only way to get this will be from the US, but for a $180 mixer the postage sadly works out at $90.
hi, no not the thud rumble version… not to fussed by the color although it does look good. I have asked westenddj to see if they can source one. the djtech site seems to imply they are out of stock at the moment. I’m not in a hurry I was just scoping it out. I was only asking as the only price reference i had to go on was from your previous article. Cheers though giz
