    1964 Sears Silvertone Twin Twelve ( in the background) was my first guitar and amp. Brings back fun memories. Bought it for $60.00.Found another cabinet and I had a full stack .Didn't need a distortion pedal. Just turned it all the way up .

  • @robertpicklesnickle
    @robertpicklesnickle 6 лет назад +1

    Im a little confused. Does the tracking just accompany what you do on the guitar? Or can you set it to just play the tones from the pedal and not your guitar too. or does it always play the tones and your guitar at the same time?

  • @jonathanhayes7101
    @jonathanhayes7101 7 лет назад +1

    That was excellent! I like the look of the pedal, but I'm not sure on how much control you have over the balance of the sound of the instrument by itself, vs. the instrument WITH the Mellotron effect, vs. the Mellotron effect by itself. Can you use a keyboard or guitar etc to play the box as if it were a Mellotron?

    • @vintagekingproaudio
      @vintagekingproaudio  7 лет назад

      Hey Jonathan, so instead of having a wet / dry control, you have individual volume controls for your dry signal and wet signal thus giving you ultimate control. Thanks!

    Hi I have a question. Is it possible to attach the MEL9 to a Volume pedal so as to have the MEL9 sounds as
    "volume swells" during an acoustic performance - does that make sense? Basically it is not to use the orchestra sounds all the time
    accompanying the acoustic guitar.

    • @vintagekingproaudio
      @vintagekingproaudio  7 лет назад

      I generally place it in my modulation section of pedals, so after dirt and before delay. Make sure to try it in a number of scenarios. The beauty of the "9 Series" is how it stacks with others to create completely new textures.

    @OrangutanJ4488 8 лет назад +1

    I have a couple of questions. How do you get it to interpret what you are playing so clearly? I get strange artifacts in mine at times. Also do you have any suggestions for how to use the brass and sax settings?

    • @vintagekingproaudio
      @vintagekingproaudio  8 лет назад +4

      Hey Jake,
      For this video, I used no other effects beyond the MEL 9. In some cases, compression can help smooth things out a bit in terms of the dynamics of the pedal. There are so many variables when it comes to these things. The guitar, the amp, the player, etc...
      Although this pedal is by far my favorite release of 2016, the Brass and Sax settings weren't for me, which is why I left em out of the demo. They aren't great on an actually Mellotron either. What I do love about this pedal beyond it doing an excellent job simulating a Mellotron, is the combinations you can get while blending it with other effects to create some completely new and original sounds.

    • @OrangutanJ4488
      @OrangutanJ4488 8 лет назад

      Thank you so much for the reply. I'll try some compression!

    I recently purchased a mel 9 and I'm very happy happy with it. I do have a loud clicking noise however when I cut it on and off especially during well live performances. I have this problem with some other pedals as well. Does anyone have a solution keeping the pedals quiet when cutting them on and off during live performance?

    • @faiqlutfishahrin
      @faiqlutfishahrin 4 года назад

      Kevin Blake if u have this problem on other pedal as well, it might be the power supply on the board. Try to power the click-y pedal with a 9v battery. If theres still click sound, then your pedal maybe needs a good service job. If not, then its from your power supply, maybe.
