Electro-Harmonix MEL9 – effects pedal

The Mel9 transforms your guitar or bass into an authentic Mellotron, without MIDI or special pickups. Nine iconic tape-based voices — such as Strings, Choir, Flute, and Cello — are reproduced true to life. With Attack and Sustain controls, you determine whether the effect kicks in instantly or builds up gradually. Dry and Effect knobs blend the original and sampled sounds. Ideal for progressive rock, ambient, and film scores: the Mel9 revives classic tape warmth in a modern pedal.
