So, no Mellotron ….but there is a viola.

 

I’m only asking since I figured youguys know music  - and I just can’t abide by the claim it is Gunsand Roses…the lead vocal doesn’t like a

squirmy caterwolling punk.

Hi gentlemen! (And I know... be careful who you call "gentlemen!")

 

First off... Mark - a gorgeous sound!  Wow!  I played that a bunch of times just to absorb it!  S'what Mellotrons are all about!  That, and on the other side of the same coin, the quiet, super-dry, kinda spooky sound that King Crimson used often enough.  Delicious... all.

 

Now please forgive my ignorance, but I'm a bit confused in reference to your #1565.  A bit newer than my #1485, I guess, but does it have 2 outputs, and a possible 2 volume pedals? How dat werks?  Is it an upgrade, a home-grown modification, or just the way 400s were produced once mine was out of the oven?  I've never seen or heard of dual outs before, anywhere.

 

Once again, Mark - what an AWESOME sound.  I'm not sure th original sound you're trying to replicate, but whatever you did - you did GREAT, man!

 

Cheers to all!
