Subject: Anybody want to trade a set of tapes?

From: Jason Wielispach <capnreverb@yahoo.com>
Date: 2014-10-14

I have three sets on racks and one I never use. It's the flute/strings one. Maybe you have a set your not using and want to trade. I'd like one with vibes the best but I'm open to whatever. I also have a strange set of tapes that the has 7 sounds. Each half of the keys is a separate sound with some sound effects added at the end of one of them. I'd trade that also but I would have to have vibes because that set has one half vibes.

I am still making the plates. If you email me off list (wbeith@sbcglobal.net)  I will send you a copy of the original manual. I'm starting a new run and will be shipping around the first of the year. I build three sizes, 3X3, 3X5 and 3X7 feet.

Are you still making the plate reverb William?

I recently picked up a Lexicon MX200 on eBay for $99. Stereo with dual effects available. The reverb is good (but not the same as my plate reverb) and the MX 200 offers several types of delay. A great little machine.

I always play my 400 through a nanoverb. Little box sits right by it. Works fantastic and a little reverb smoothes out some of the self noise it has. It really is the butter on the edges on my Mellotron sound.

Hi Mark,
I've used the Nanoverb 1 that was built in to a small club sound system, and it sounded terrific, especially for the price, anywhere from $79-99.  Alesis & others do have other units for similar prices that may give much more flexibility, tho. While the Nanoverb is mono/stereo in & stereo out, the reverbs are strictly mono. They sound spacious (I had a favorite or two), but the stereo kicks in with some of the chorus & flanging effects.  There's no readout to easily show you your setting - you have to look at the knobs to see it - which you'd likely find in a bigger unit, & may eventually find useful.
 
But if your just looking for a little "space" for your 'tron, & probably not going to "foolaround" too much with it, ANY Alesis unit, including the Nano, will do a FINE job.  Have FUN!

Cheers!
