Overview

Fans of the distinctive sounds of the Mellotron can rejoice: Electro-Harmonix has released the MEL9, a tape replay machine that emulates some of the Mellotron’s most popular sounds. From “Strawberry Fields” to OK Computer, the Mellotron has graced many of your favorite tracks, and now you can get the keyboard’s flute sounds, clarinet, orchestra, low choir, strings, and more on your pedalboard. With excellent tracking, the MEL9 can handle all of the bends, slides, and even dive bombs you throw at it. Pick your favorite sound, modify it with the Dry, Effect, Attack, and Sustain knobs, and you’ve got yourself some classic Mellotron Vibes, courtesy of the MEL9.
