Harmonix - Tape Replay Machine Pedal MEL9 - White

Electro-Harmonix MEL9 Tape Replay Machine. Transform your axe and resurrect the sound of vintage tape-based keyboards! Now any electric guitar player can have access to nine magically quirky, dark and unique Mellotron sounds. No more extra devices such as special and cumbersome 13-pin MIDI pickups! In addition to electric guitar, you can trigger the MEL9 with any instrument that produces an electrical output, such as a keyboard or a bass, down to 55 Hz or A1. The polyphonic EHX MEL9 has superior tracking; you can create single notes or chords with ease. The MEL9 will follow guitar bends, dive bombs, slurs, and any other guitar expression/performance techniques you can throw at it! Product Highlights: Pays homage to nine of the coolest Mellotron sounds: Orchestra, Cello, Strings, Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Brass, Low Choir and High Choir. Works on guitar without modifications, special pickups or MIDI implementation and tracks bends, slides, even whammy dive bombs! Also works with bass guitar down to the open A string as well as keyboards within the limits of its polyphony (5 notes) and range (A1 to A5).
