Electro Harmonix MEL9 Tape Relay Machine (Second-Hand)
Sold Out
A neat little box with all the Mellotron sounds you could wish for!
A pioneering instrument, the Mellotron was an early, primitive analog sampler utilising pre-recorded magnetic tape across a playback head to engage a sound with the aid of a keyboard. This is the sound you would most notably have heard during the intro to 'Strawberry Fields Forever' by the Beatles. The MEL9 from Electro Harmonix offers a digital recreation in a stomp box, designed with the guitar player in mind. Features nine selectable sounds including: Orchestra, Cello, Strings, Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Brass, Low Choir and High Choir. Controls for dry, effect, attack, and sustain are present, making for quite a flexible unit! For additional technical details, check out the embedded link.
Cosmetic condition is very good, showing only light signs of enclosure wear. Hardware and electronics are fully functional. Includes the original box.
