The Mellotron Group

I've never run across a real spring or plate unit. If anyone has one, would you do a side by side comparison of spring and plate reverb for the Melly? Thanks.

The 312 is an off brand knockoff of the Roland RE-201 Space Echo with some additional features. Particularly "swell reverb" which adds a swelling echo to the reverb signal. Lush doesn't begin to describe it. My advice: If you haven't tried your tron thru an old tape echo/spring reverb, you haven't lived. Tape to tape is a beautiful sound.
