Hi guys - excuse the newbieness of this post, butI've just read
something that I'd like to know more on:http://www.kleonard.com/mellotron/vt0304/pindertron3.htm
About 2/3 the way down this page, there's a comment made: "Jerry
explained that the other Mellotrons have a built in equalization curve
to brighten up the higher end, but the Mike Pinder preamp does not."Can you guys enlighten me as to what frequency the EQ curve starts?
Am assuming it'll be a hi-shelf of some sort but am curious to know.Thanks in advance, -dl

Season's Greetings Dale and Gang,
I don't have the precise freq. curve handyat the moment,
as I'm tending to other matters. Mostall Mellotrons follow
a similar tape response curve called , NARTB , approximating
that of cassette recording EQ. Mike Pinder's MK-# 134,
had three bespoke preamps within, so no in-situEQ was provided.Tone controls on all British-made older Tronswere purely passive EQ,
cutting treble . Interestingly, the 4-TrackMellotron made in
Connecticut, featured three-band active (cutand boost) EQ controls
for each of the four channels (tracks).Hope this helps....Happy 2007 (almost here) -- Jerry K.
