About this product
The American DJ MYDMX BUDDY is a USB-powered lighting controller designed for simple DMX control. It features 40 playback faders and 40 user keys, allowing you to control up to 1 channel of DMX lighting. Rack-mountable and backed by a 2-year warranty, it's a compact solution for basic lighting setups. Priced at $100, it offers an affordable entry point for DJs and mobile entertainers needing straightforward lighting control without the complexity of larger consoles.
Our take
I've been using the MYDMX BUDDY for small gigs and it does the job without fuss. The 40 faders and keys give you plenty of hands-on control for creating scenes and chases. However, the single DMX channel limitation means you can't control multiple universes, so it's best suited for simpler setups. The USB connectivity works reliably with my laptop, and the rack-mount option is a nice touch for a tidy rig. For a hundred bucks, you get a solid, no-nonsense controller that's easy to program live. If you need more channels or advanced features, you'll want to look elsewhere, but for the price, this is a practical tool for any mobile DJ.
