I spent 1200 € on a sound system the other day. it has bluetooth connectivity and thats about it. No particularly good bass, and the top end sounds a bit like an empty can of baked beans. However, the Ford Mondeo attached to it was good value; and it does have a handy little equalizer for shaping the sound slightly. Great Deal everything considered. Pro tip: I was considering the Tx6.

Don't know how to play the git at all, but willing to learn. 120€ including everything, Amp was DOA, was actually replaced with the next level one at no extra cost. But it's perfectly acceptable, good machining, stays in tune, doesn't ring too much, happy days! :) My last diy was an open source Teensy based "Micro Dexed" featuring two DX7 emus, a MI Rings, another diy basic synth and what not for like less than 100€ in total.

@@towerrunner4675 I have to agree. This almost seems like someone asked AI to generate a fake Bad Gear episode with a ridiculous product but using a respected brand to give it credibility.

I am SO GLAD this video happened. Teenage Engineering needs to take note of the comments. Much as I love my OB-4, the TX-6 alone made me almost lose respect for them completely. I don't understand how anyone thought this was a good idea. Even if the price is justified because it's a pain to produce, anyone business smart should have stopped them before they'd even put it out. They did get a scolding from certain few major industry players at Superbooth from what I heard though 😂 I'll be waiting for the TX-12, which should be at least 3-4 times as big, and definitely 50% cheaper to even compete with similar products IMO.
Hey Federico! There’s a mind boggling story behind that thing involving no other than Kanye West, I assume they tried to minimize write offs and I totally want to make a video about that but I’m afraid there’s not enough meat on there without getting too speculative.
Bad Gear, the only show that not only makes the worst gear sound good, but does it consistently enough to make this show one of few that is consistently entertaining even when autoplaying through them!
I've had a TX-6 for a few months now, it's my most fave device ever. It's sexy looking when you actually pick it up. It sounds utterly fantastic, the EQ ranges are spot on for what I need. I use it to make rip vinyl videos directly into a GoPro camera. The signal path is vinyl->Tx-6(24bit)->GoPro(24bit). The FX are really nice sounding and solid. If only it was 1/2 the price - I'd buy another in a shot!
Being a trucker who likes to mess with and jam with the gear, I'm always on the lookout for the compact and portable; space is always at a premium on a Freightliner. But there's a point of diminishing returns for compact gear and TE went a little past it this time; makes me think I'm trying to use Zoolander's cellphone.
I totally agree. I like portable gear but I found this basically too small to usable. It could have been twice the size and still tiny, but way more usable
I went to pick up some gear from someone an hour north of me once, in a kind of out the way place, no bus, though I was driving. It was from some rich guy up on the the bluffs who I've bought from a few times. He always has the THE best gear that he's selling. I've never been inside to actually see his collection, but he has so much good stuff listed all the time that I search local listings every week or so for the place he lives to see if he has anything new. Anyway, as I arrived, there was another guy there who had taxied up to get his stuff. Low and behold it was THIS unit. The guy worked for IntelliJ. As I gave him a ride back home, he went on to explain how THIS was the most epic unit that could do exactly what he wanted where nothing else could, and he got it at the amazing price of $800 Canadian. I dropped him off back home and never saw him again.
...not Intellij, I mean intellijel, the eurorack company based in my hometown, not the IDE. I'm a software developer literally programming on Intellij right now, so I get confused.
I just throw this into the direction of TE: your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
Yep...and the Rädler will probably result in more interesting ideas than this thing. Or cirrhosis. For me, I'll go for a case of of Old Rip van Winkel 10-year (I like the limestone notes...terrior, y'know) and still have $ left for a good steak. Having said this, TE will probably now come up with a line of whisky flasks with built-in sequencers. Only $799!
Given "size" & price, I consider it a joke. It's useful drums still don't save the unwieldy device from being unpro. If Teenage Engineering reduced the price by 90%, at least small children would benefit but however, these would've to be highly gifted ones 🥳 As always I love the vocoder shout like anything else. This times suggestion is as distanced from "bad" like Venus to Mars but still can't be ignored. It's the Arturia Polybrute 12.
Don't forget you're going to need to pay a couple thousand dollars for the high end rework station and microscope you'll need when you have to replace a worn out fader in a few years. I don't care how good your soldering skills are - nobody's going to have much luck blowing hot air in a thing that small with a $50 (or even $500) Hakko. I just checked and a Pace MBT360 is just over $2150 ("new low price!")
Are we going to get an episode on the Sy-77/99 someday? I don't really want the price to skyrocket, but they are so cool (and difficult to use sometimes😄).
Hm. Soooooo...€1200, hm? Kinda spendy, especially since I got my 54-frame Soundcraft FIVE a few years ago for $1000. I don't have to pull out the tweezers to use it, either. If anyone's familiar with the glorious mess that was "Sifl and Olly", they'll know what I mean when I say that this little thing seems like Precious Roy's doing. Otherwise, it probably would've been better off as a beer can...aluminum, same general size, dubious play capabilities...

I quite like my TX-6. I view it as an audio multitool; It does a lot... adequately. I get that that's not exactly high praise for something so expensive but I really do think its form factor and the fact that it's battery-powered are major selling points. I'm constantly repurposing it for different uses and moving it around because it's just so easy to do so! I find a lot of value in its portability and its many functions, even if those functions are almost always worse than dedicated devices. I don't think it's the right device for most people but I'm really glad I bought one (used).
Those mini-knobs and sliders are unacceptable. These tiny devises that can all together fit into a single tiny tea bag bring a whole news meaning to tea-bagging. I'll do just fine without that mess. Thank you. As a side note, you make it all as appealing as possible, but be forewarned... tweezers required.
Im convinced TE gear is not for people who seriously make and release music but more for people who own gear and like the idea or maybe dicking around for a bit. Everyting they make is style over function and wildly overpriced. Basically hipster bullshit for non musicians.
@@AudioPilz No! Its not an issue at all. I saw four little nails included in the box, suggesting how to solve the potential problems, hmm.. maybe I saw them in another box 🤔
Could be useful for a live rig, to submix a couple boutique line modules. Fits in a pocket, a good quality for keyboardist who is carrying full car of gear already
For that price surely they could make it at a functional size that ordinary human fingers could use instead of tiny elven hipster digits ...but hey! What's functionality when you're all about ridiculous design statements & exorbitant prices
It’s useless…. The tactile scale of a mixer is an instrument unto itself. If you have a reliable shrinkray, then I guess you can reduce your size or increase the size of this mixer. All I see here considering the input situation is a massive pain in the ass / cheap junk patting itself on the back for containing aluminum.
@@AudioPilz they made 120,000 - (I think euros) in 2022 at a 5% profit margin (2.4m rev.). With 50-200 staff they are not rolling about in Jaguars just yet.
@@AudioPilz the reason their profits are so low is because they are putting it all straight back into rnd. The profit figure is token and not significant as profits are unused money and therefore waste so must be maid into big pay cheques or put into Swiss holding account to hide it.
@@AudioPilz You could close down the rnd dept and place those costs under profit to raise the value of the company to idiot investors who can't see the company is being gutted and not grown.
This might be the worst piece of gear yet. It reminds me of some portable digital recording units from the 90s but 1/4 the size. Who is the target audience for this?
As long a people buy TE's overpriced stuff they'll keep on making micro devices like this for ... > 1100 Euro! How big of a snob must you be to buy this? It's even worse than Apple.
I think I'll stick to my EPM6, its old, analog, takes up all my desk space and has no built in effects but at least I didn't need a mortgage to afford it haha
Great review 😎👍 If they'd made it four times the size for a quarter of the price, I'd have bought one! 😂 Edit: I guess I wasn't the only one with the thought that they got carried away with miniaturization - Boutique JP-08 you are forgiven!
kooks, thats pretty much beginners in a hobby that have expensive shit and havent put in the years to either deserve it or have the ability to use it,,,

+ 50% better built quality

And all for the low, low price of about €1000. What a steal!
Mind. Blown.
Maybe someone will design an aftermarket outer shell that mechanically transfers the controls onto a reasonably sized interface.

I won’t buy te on reverb, I won’t accept it if someone gives me a cast off te product. I will use the cast off to post a Kid Rock Shoots a Case of Beer video, maybe. Maybe.
It's so small actually makes the Roland S-1 seem normal. 05:53
@6:10 you almost killed me with that zoom I was already zoomed in on that 'work' with the zoom function on my mbp 😂
I never believed you‘d pull off the intro on a TX-6
There is no other way
////__buena buena genial excelente pelado como siempre eres el mejor You are the best eres el más humilde de RUclips.... Jajaja oh sí, thank you thank you so much pelao hueco
I quite like my TX-6. I view it as an audio multitool; It does a lot... adequately. I get that that's not exactly high praise for something so expensive but I really do think its form factor and the fact that it's battery-powered are major selling points. I'm constantly repurposing it for different uses and moving it around because it's just so easy to do so! I find a lot of value in its portability and its many functions, even if those functions are almost always worse than dedicated devices.
I don't think it's the right device for most people but I'm really glad I bought one (used).
Nice!!!
eBay bargain Mackie 1202VLZ and a load of 90s/00s groove boxes, drum machine and romplers would be cheaper and less cliched.
Ah yes, our favourite overpriced Chinese toy brand is back at it! Not even Roland AD 2024 can beat them!!!
TE is like Behringer with Jony Ive as head designer, half the price being his salary
❤️❤️❤️Roland❤️❤️❤️
Those mini-knobs and sliders are unacceptable. These tiny devises that can all together fit into a single tiny tea bag bring a whole news meaning to tea-bagging. I'll do just fine without that mess. Thank you. As a side note, you make it all as appealing as possible, but be forewarned... tweezers required.
Lol
This is as offensive a product as their wallpaper pasting table and almost as over priced.
I want the table so badly;)
I'm still speechless about your musical talent. I love how you seem to create this variety of electronic sound effortlessly
Thank you so much!!!
Im convinced TE gear is not for people who seriously make and release music but more for people who own gear and like the idea or maybe dicking around for a bit. Everyting they make is style over function and wildly overpriced. Basically hipster bullshit for non musicians.
This thing is so small, you will need velcro to keep it from sliding around the desk.
That can indeed be an issue here
@@AudioPilz Tiny Gear issues.
@@AudioPilz No! Its not an issue at all. I saw four little nails included in the box, suggesting how to solve the potential problems, hmm.. maybe I saw them in another box 🤔
No problem. This is so small that the surface tension of a drop of water holds it in place.
Who needs a desk?
I've spent years trying to understand the draw of TE stuff. I still don't
Wait. I just got it. "Let's be the Apple of electronic music"
You cant do a DAWless jam with that - thats a DAW
Mind. Blown.
People that say they are doing a DAWless jam are my favorite lmao
@@AudioPilznice to see the real GOAT came out to play #iheartmyBSP 😂😂
Could be useful for a live rig, to submix a couple boutique line modules. Fits in a pocket, a good quality for keyboardist who is carrying full car of gear already
For that price surely they could make it at a functional size that ordinary human fingers could use instead of tiny elven hipster digits ...but hey! What's functionality when you're all about ridiculous design statements & exorbitant prices
Hey, I have tiny Microkorg hands and I was REALLY struggling
It’s useless…. The tactile scale of a mixer is an instrument unto itself. If you have a reliable shrinkray, then I guess you can reduce your size or increase the size of this mixer. All I see here considering the input situation is a massive pain in the ass / cheap junk patting itself on the back for containing aluminum.
This thing looks like such a pain to use.
It is
"Stylistically-confident well-off audio jet-setters" This channel just never misses... bravo
Thank you so much!!!
@@AudioPilz :D
With the Rabbit R1 collab (and everything that has been happening around it) you can get an idea of what kind of company is TE 😓
A very profitable one
Who really doesn't care for the end customers
@@AudioPilz they made 120,000 - (I think euros) in 2022 at a 5% profit margin (2.4m rev.). With 50-200 staff they are not rolling about in Jaguars just yet.
@@AudioPilz the reason their profits are so low is because they are putting it all straight back into rnd. The profit figure is token and not significant as profits are unused money and therefore waste so must be maid into big pay cheques or put into Swiss holding account to hide it.
@@AudioPilz You could close down the rnd dept and place those costs under profit to raise the value of the company to idiot investors who can't see the company is being gutted and not grown.
This might be the worst piece of gear yet. It reminds me of some portable digital recording units from the 90s but 1/4 the size.
Who is the target audience for this?
the stock footage jam was amazing haha
Thank you!!!
As long a people buy TE's overpriced stuff they'll keep on making micro devices like this for ... > 1100 Euro! How big of a snob must you be to buy this? It's even worse than Apple.
I'd knife-fight god himself for an og monotron
The zoom in at the duct tape wrapped cables at 6:07 just sent me lmao
I think TE are trolling, or it's totally a gimmick. Why would you pay that much for.....that
This mixer needed to be just a touch larger for live contexts but the sound quality and flexibility is solid. This will never leave my live rig.
👍👍👍
I think I'll stick to my EPM6, its old, analog, takes up all my desk space and has no built in effects but at least I didn't need a mortgage to afford it haha
Absolut geil...Ich liebe den Sarkasmus und die versteckte Ironie und die Kurzweiligkeit...und natürlich die Infos und den Sound.....
Vielen herzlichen Dank!!!
Great review 😎👍 If they'd made it four times the size for a quarter of the price, I'd have bought one! 😂
Edit: I guess I wasn't the only one with the thought that they got carried away with miniaturization - Boutique JP-08 you are forgiven!
Perhaps they thought that if it's soooo small dust wouldn't be Able to get into the sliders? :)
Like, on a molecular level?
And here I thought a mixer couldn't be any more pretentious than the Play Differently ones.
no matter how bad the gear I can always count on the final jam being an absolute banger 🔥
Thank you!!!
I guess they decided at some point if not them somebody has to be Apple of synths.
True!!!
Oh lord he droppin a video on TE, have some mercy. With the right reverb.
😂😂😂
He made a video on the OP1 and the OPz before
@@eightcoins4401 precisely why i ditched porn when this came out.
Behringer makes good stuff cheap, TA makes crap expensive. I like the succulent as a hint that all TA crap is for synth hipsters.
We need a review of the Field Table! Looking forward to the intro!
Samples of me smashing it
@@AudioPilz I have yet to see a review about that table anywhere. Do it. It would be smashing!
Percussion sample. :D
Alll I can say is - what the fuck? I think that covers everything needed to be said about this kit.
boom 1st. (edit 2nd). 😅
Pro tip: Type less, send only ❤
😀😀😀
@@njdpdv 😂👍
I'd consider it at like $200. Up over a grand though? Lol, no.
If it was 3x larger and 1/3 the price it might be competitive. It looks completely unusable.
TE is amazingly good at making things that simultaneously make you want them and feel like an idiot for wanting them
$1200 for a tiny mixer that requires duct tape for connecting to my current hardware. on brand for TE
kooks, thats pretty much beginners in a hobby that have expensive shit and havent put in the years to either deserve it or have the ability to use it,,,
TE only make products to troll all Bad Gear followers, we get ttttttrrrrrriiiiigggered!
TE could be one of the biggest names out there if they priced their gear appropriately.
If you sell me a Ferrari in a very little box...
I will never buy it
It's wonderful but ridicolous😆
Compared to this. The MX1 is definitely Good gear!
I think this thing is pretty awesome. Expensive yes, but the tiny footprint is really pretty cool.
Its nice that they are making gear for mdgets. Must be a trend as with Behringers micro range for those little stubby fingers.
