John -

I live in Wilmette, which is 20 minutes north of Chicago.

I have three tape sets:

3 violins/flute/8voice choir

3 violins/cello/brass

string section/mixed choir/vibes

I just use my standard Roland 350 for an amp. Tubes would probably be nicer but it sounds fine through the Roland. I also use a Boss reverb stomp box and an MXR 10-band EQ

It's been a blast. But I'm having an issue with the headstack/audio cable. I'm trying to send it back to Markus for repair but am getting help up trying to get through the international shipping paperwork nonsense.

Anyway, hope to have it up and running again soon.

Rick

Welcome to the group, Rick.  Where just outside of Chicago?  What tapes do you have in your MK VI?  What's your preferred method of amplification?  I've got an M400, #1407 and right now I'm running it through an old Fender tube amp, which is just fine for writing/practicing.

 Hi - 

I recently joined the old mellotron group, but was informed this is the place to be.

Thanks to all of you who responded to me over there and tipped me off about this site.

I live just outside Chicago and have a Mk. VI, which was built in 2007. It's been really fantastic to play and record with.

Looking forward to chatting with you all going forward.

Thanks again.

Rick
