Electro Harmonix Mel9
After the successful B9, C9 and Key 9 pedals that allow guitarists an excursion into the Keyboard sounds. The next stroke of genius from the New York pedal forge is here. Electro Harmonix has made a special treat in the realm of Vintage Keyboards. The legendary Mellotron. A Mellotron is a kind of "Stone Age" Sample Player, the individual sounds are produced with the aid of sound data recorded on magnetic tape. Each key is associated with a recorded sound in the corresponding pitch and when the keys are played the correct tape loop is triggered correspondingly.
The sounds of the Mellotron are very characteristic, they have a lo-fi charm limited frequency range and slightly warped sound belong there too. Sound examples are the Strings sounds with "Nights in White Satin" by The Moody Blues or "Maid of Orleans" by OMD, the legendary "Strawberry Fields" by the Beatles and many more.
These classic sounds are immortalized in the Electro Harmonix Mel9, nine classic Mellotron sounds as Orchestra, Cello, Strings, Clarinet, Brass, Saxophone and Choir and can bring a guitar or even electric bass and keyboards to life. The result is very compelling - a journey through time in the 60's!

Electro-Harmonix was founded in 1968 by Mike Matthews and is known for groundbreaking innovations in analogue audio signal processing, digital delay, digital sampling and polyphonic real-time processing. EHX effect pedals are used by professional and amateur guitarists, bassists, keyboard players, producers, studio engineers, DJs, vocalists and a wide variety of musicians and instrumentalists.
Since the beginnings in 1968, when founder Mike Matthews ushered in the era of overdrive with the revolutionary LPB-1 Linear Power Booster, Electro-Harmonix has been at the forefront of electric guitar sound development. With a core product line of over 150 guitar effect pedals, from fuzz through delay and modulation to synthesiser pedals, the sound of Electro-Harmonix products is so compelling that they have been imitated and copied by several other pedal makers.

Bin zufrieden. Die Klänge sind recht gut. Trotzdem bleibt ein Rest von künstlich. Darum ein Stern Abzug.
Das Produkt war gedacht als dezente Ergänzung/Untermalung von Auftritten mit Akustik-Gitarre in ruhiger Umgebung. Unnötigerweise stattet Electro Harmonix ihre Effektgeräte mit einem derart harten, widerspenstigen Footswitch aus, dass jede Betätigung mit einem lauten, metallischen "Klicken" begleitet wird. Leider war/ist das Produkt so nicht zu gebrauchen für mich - ich habe das Produkt zurückgeschickt.
Je suis satisfait
I particularly like this pedal as it not only evokes the 60s but gives you - with appropriate delay and volume pedals- very effective orchestral sounding tones to colour and mix your guitar signal. Truly wonderful for composition. Check out the flute, cello and low voices.
