Thinking more of this of this "no input mixing board"
issue and historical uses, I'm wondering if Lou Reed's
"Metal Machine Music" didn't use this? What info I can
find seems to suggest it was just mic/guitar feedback,
but who knows... (another one of those pieces I've
heard a lot about but never heard, or maybe only
briefly). Anyone know?

Re: David Tudor... he was always fond of recounting
that Billy Kluver (from Experiments in Arts and
Technology) pointed out to him that one of Tudor's
pieces was "all amplifiers" (i.e. components with gain
stages). After reflecting on it, Tudor realized that
that was true. 

But I don't think Tudor ever would have done anything
as simple as use a single mixer with no other
components, so it depends on what you're talking about
when you want to figure out who did what first.
