The Classic Scratch Mixer
The classic scratch mixer used by many famous battle & scratch DJs. It is solid basic 2-channel DJ Mixer with adjustable CF curve, 2-band EQ, effects send/receive... The crossfader cut isn't that sharp stock, but when installing the provided pieces it becomes as sharp as can be (less than a millimeter to get to full volume).
