Vestax needs to come back!
Absolutely love my 06's flaws and all. I've got the classic gold and the black and they've always held a place deep in my heart.
There was also the Burgundy Samurai 06 pro. Another thing to consider for size factor is space issues in Japanese households and apartments.
That is a good ass point that I have never stopped to consider. Damn. Thank you!
And the Samurais were abominations. Cheater faders!
@MisterRemix I completely understand the abominations on the Samurais and I hate them haha, but if you don't use the cheater features, just use the Xfader as normal, it's a badass sharp and clicky Xfader, I like how loose they are and the click sound on it. I just felt the same nice loose feeling with the S9 Xfader. Please just keep doing this videos more and more. Cheers.
Wait, what were the cheater features on those?
The Samurai series mixers Vestax made had these interesting cut off points that were assignable that would essentially allow the DJ to do a two click with a single motion and so on. Kind of a strange feature and it didn't take off, clearly, but still one of the many wonderful, adventurous attempts the company made.
I definitely bought one on eBay a couple months ago in pretty good condition around $120 or so. I installed a Innofader PNP I kept from a while ago, it's as good as gold.
Jarrod Fullilove Steadyawake i just took mine back out of the closet to use with 2 Handytrax for a portable rig. At this point, if the fader needs replacing, does it make sense going for the cheaper original factory part or a after-market fader. I can’t recall the original sharpness and curve.
I had the samurai version of that. Like 15 years ago!
Loving this series. I still have two champagne 06 and a black version. Special place in my heart. Best slim-lined mixer though is the Ecler Nuo 2.0.
Also, another key feature on the 06 was the hamster switch which at the time was only available on the Q-Bert 05 and then later put on standard 05 pro models.
Man, I mentioned it but it ended up on the cutting room floor! But yes! Absolutely.
That mixer was my workhorse
Still my fav mixer I’ve ever touched. I have 4 of them lol. I generally see them go for $30-40 bucks at local pawn shops. I tend to snag them if I can.
this was my second mixer. It was a work horse.
People forget that balanced outputs on DJ mixers weren't a thing in the '90s because powered speakers didn't exist back then. You're making a short connection between the mixer and your power amp that's usually under your table, and running 1/4" or speakon cables to your speakers, not XLR. Most of us didn't know what a balanced connection was until the JBL EON or Mackie SRM 450 came out, and some of you STILL need to learn.
Ive got the Gold one boxed in my attic , Used but tidy condition , Just needs a channel fader because it crackles very slightly .
Amazing mixer !!
im still rocking this man, goes hard
So glad you brought up the 06-t!!!
Didn't see that coming, right?
Man I've been looking for the 06T for YEARS. I don't understand why they didn't follow up the T-Model with some serious upgrades. An 06T with a butter fader and maybe switch out one of the RCA masters with 1/4 inch. I mean it still would be my go-to mixer for everything if they just made some upgrades. Great video though--🤘🤘👌👌🖒🖒
There's a nice video on UA-cam with Q and Yoga getting into these getting made. I think there are some rare variants in oddball colors too.
I was a proud owner of this bad boy and I miss it
love this series. keep doing them...I'm not a scratch DJ(UK Old Skool hard house and hard trance/techno from the 90's where i started) but have gone through my fair share of decks and mixers over the years. I remember having one Vestax though, but it was a 4 Channel. Can't remember the name now but it was a tank. it was slightly wider than this one though hehe...had to run between the Technics they were so far apart :D
Bought a Pro A recently for about £60 - some paint off the fader area and the line faders were stiff but everything else worked, including original PSU. Opened it up today to give the faders a clean and found it had a P&G as the crossfader instead of the standard PCV. Happy days!
What’s crazy is that I’ve had the gold 06 since 1996. Tonight, I sold it to someone on CraigsList (box, manual, contents of box). I open UA-cam and this is the first video at the top of my list. Wishing I didn’t sell it. 😞
C Sanchez NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
yo is the truth .."I'm a say it like I mean it " ...yo is real as shit
Love the the 30" Cinema display.
Still have my Numark (Japan built ) DM1775A Replaced faders and board connectors.So well built
I had the 06 but gave it to mate who lost his one and much more in a house fire. But one of my all time favorites was the 05 pro LTD Q model. One my boys had one should have brought it off him damm.
Very nice to be able to see some older stuff, keep it up, thanks:)
MORE VIDS LIKE THIS HOME SWEET HOME
That super slim Mixtick the slimmest of em all is fire. I got two Gold Mixtick, sold one of them and the remaining one has a broken headphone cue slider and very minimal sound coming off the headphones! too bad I sold the better one together with a limited edition blue PDX2000! It was a sad day for me. fortunately a friend of mine swapped his PMC05 Pro III for my Xone 22 (Xone had a bleeding fader). The sound is nice and clean just like the Xone22.
Hi! Saw your video about the Vestax 07 Pro. I kept my 07 Pro that I bought back in 97 with the original power plug brick. I kept it inside one of them plastic bags that came with when buying a new mixer and sealed it with a tape. Still have all the original faders, fader caps, and all the knobs. It’s been sitting in my studio for years. If your still looking for an 07 in good condition, let me know. ✌🏻
Paul Michael Aquino (Shifty eyes*) Sup with that Mixer, Paul?
MisterRemix hey what’s up! Mixer is still in the same place in my studio. I can send you some pics if you like.
Right on dude thanks
I had a choice of this or an Intimidation Apex at my price bracket. I knew little back then and went with form over function TBH as on sight the two band EQ was the decider. The only DJ purchase I regretted when I got to use Vestax mixers including this one extensively playing out a few months later.
I have the classic 06 Pro made in japan with original ALPS faders. ProA's (the ones made in China) some had ALPS faders and some had PCV faders. Crazy thing was the 06 pro VCA you could put in a master cue switch without resistors etc (like older 06's), just drill n solder a switch. Props on the videos! Stanton SA-8 next? the mixer that was way to future for its time, how many dj mixers did you know that had individual track outs??
One of my favorite mixers. Dope vid series, keed the vids coming. Maybe the 05 next
I believe the one released in 2008 had a different crossfader. Vestax had switch to the Chinese and the release was made in Japan.
Still have my 06, best mixer I've ever bought, easy to fix, also those fader spacer lugs (ya'll know) when you're learning to crab shit helps, still cut on mine
I own both gold 06 & black version. I need the Samurai and there was once a red one from Japan I seen it but idk from where. Dope video.
Yess!! Finally!!
The homie IXL made that mixer iconic!
i love these videos
I still have this baby but now it has all stock faders swapped out with innofaders
Steadyawake i just took mine back out of the closet to use with 2 Handytrax for a portable rig. At this point, if the fader needs replacing, does it make sense going for the cheaper original factory part or a after-market fader. I can’t recall the original sharpness and curve.
Hi,
Im going to put the innofader in mine,
Is it just plug and play?
Please make more videos in this series, they are amazing!
The real og 06 was made in Japan. It was the ‘a’ models that were China. Good luck finding one of those or an ISP/Qbert 06 though.
Also, I don’t think the ‘t’ had the vca fader. They marketed that as more of budget mixer in the late 90s.
Great video though
i have the red ISP 06, shame he didnt cover them (blue one also) in the video
Paul bozak morrissey more than likely designed that mixer ,i know he designed the pmc275 and a few other decent mixers ,i love my 275 and ive gone through probably 15 mixers,altho mixing on a bozak is an amazing experience ,nice vid
One thing I might add is that there were 4 different model versions of the PMC-06. That being the Samurai, the Pro, the Pro A & Pro VCA. The only main differences Ive been able to find here on the Net are: the Pro A & VCA have the ability to have a Headphone Cue switch soldered into them & the Pro having an Alps fader & the Pro A having either an Alps fader or a PCV fader & the VCA having only a PCV fader. Other than these Im not sure what other main differences there are or exactly why the VCA is the best model. Maybe someone can elaborate more?
im rocking a pmc 05 Pro SL in mint condition with org box, man, and psu i love it but im thinking of selling to get a rane 62 its hard to let go! when i play out djs always talk about it, especially the shape its in.
All you’re missing is the 06 Samurai.. that was a weird release as well
06 Samurai user since new here. Nice sharp cut in. Cheater faders for people who can't crab. Horrible 'brittle' digital sound quality. Truly one of the worst sounding mixers I've used, from a sound quality perspective. Passable if you're using it with a single deck for scratching (how I was still using mine till literally last week), but for actual DJing, or remotely Hi-Fi listening through it, the sound quality is absolutely atrocious.
My PMC-06 is still going strong although I recently had to replace the crossfader after nearly twenty years.
I thought of replacing it with a modern mixer with Traktor functionality built-in but they're all too big and have far too many features that I'll never use.
It is what it is y'all x1000
I had one, I loved it!
I never saw no one using the t6 mixer in the battle style DJ mix
Love it mixer.
Awesome reviews!!!
Yeah , i have my one.
still use the 06 superb kit - OG Bedroom damage
have the T...iconic style
I drank a shot of Vodka everytime he said bizarre....
Not many about , I have the REALISTIC SSM-2100 built to last ,OldSchool .
set up
One thing he doesn't mention on these PMC mixers was the poor quality of RCA inputs that they used. The shielding collars (RCA negative contact) would break off all the freaking time and out of the 4 I own, only one still has all of it's RCA jacks working. I've thought about getting them all refurbished, but there's no point.
Vestax equipment was great. Do they still exist?
What was the difference between the Vestax PMC-O6 Pro Mixtick & Vestax PMC-O6 Pro Mixtick Pro A
Anyone remember how to do the master/cue mod for the VCA models? All the old instructions on the web seem to have disappeared.
More of these
Dam i copped my 06 for 600$ when it first came out in rock n souls nyc. And i still got it only 1 input switch is broken.
06 was so ill but 05 is king
hi, could you make me a huge favor and measure the barrel plug diameter of the pro VCA, thanks in advance and cheers from chile!
Didnt they make a Samurai version too??
Next up Vestax Turntable plz
Y'ALL!
Can I install a Innfofader to this 06 ??Or is there a better option ?
what about the red version? Vestax PMC-06 Pro D Samurai
the Vestax 06-T was perfect if you had a tiny room, had less than 100 USD to buy a mixer, & wanted a backup mixer. sound quality, build quality, & crossfader build were inferior to the 05pro or 06pro, but the 6-T wasn't entry-level either (and infinitely better than Gemini-type mixers). I think I paid $60usd new. I'm always looking for one but weirdly ironic that the 05 and 06 go for 150-200 and the T go's for around 500-600 (currently) .
Is there anyone familier with the Vestax MW300 if so where can one purchase the chips and is there an demo on utube 😐
Just got me a Technics SH-MZ 1200 mixer
Elliott Knighves Funny you say that...
NORMALIZATION OF IGNORANCE Its a dark gray with gold. $499 used.. I love it.
Vestax! )))
Called the PMC O6 not the PMC 06A.
noob question: would this be ok for double vinyl techno sets?
What's the "mixtick" bit about?
How are you,I have a Vestax plc-25 mixer and I am in need of a power cord
OMG u have a T!!!!
What about the pmc 06 pro Samurai ?
Andre Bravo what did the samurai do different??
Forgot about the cheat code for a transform switch...
i need a headphone fader for my 06 Pro-a, if somebody have 1 pls tell me i love this mixer
What about the red face plate 06??
why they bankrupt ?? :(
Pmc 08 pro hybrid.
I owned the Gold 06 for a couple of years. I wasn't a fan of the clicky fader!
I still have my black 06. Really need to break out of the attic.
There is a Japan model though.
Also 2 headphone outputs & no mic
Yeah, that second headphone made no sense to me? At all. But the 06-T has a mic.
Mine is made in Japan
I mentioned how the earlier ones were made in Japan, but it ended up on the cutting room floor, and now I look dumb. (Sigh*) But yes! You got one of the better built ones. ....Wanna sell it?
MisterRemix i think the pmc 06 pro « A » was made in China. Without the « A », made in Japan. I could be wrong
I can't remember what I said originally, but yeah, I think the same thing. I just know that all of the ones I have are made in China. But I do remember seeing some that said Japan.
Mine says “made in China under license of vestax Tokyo, Japan”
In my opinion Vestax was ahead of the game. I’m still using my Vestax 2 of Vci400 & Vci380
i just bought one at good will for 56 bucks
I got this just because it was cheaper than the 05 lol
So I accidentally clicked Thumbs Down. Awesome.
just reclick it . I get that with touch screen
the China build quality thing used to be true witz some makes but mostly now its bullshit
lulz there you go again telling ppl how to spend their money.. amazing
ewww....an 06a 🤢😂 I still have my Japan made 06
