YES, used an Ibanez analog delay for some time with my M400, it had a warm
'fuzzy' sound which (I thought) complemented the Mellotron well (especially
the 8-choir). Severely restricted bandwidth (5kHz?) on the delayed signal
doubtless helps. I'm thinking of getting one actually.

BUT the best Mellotron reverb I ever got came from a HH Multi (tape)
Echo.... belonged to our drummer but I appropriated it and used it quite
happily until it was wrecked by one of my cats p---ing over and into it.
