The Mellotron Group

Ok guys,

Any suggestions for the best reverb unit to use for Mellotron, digital samples or the real deal. Some say Lexicon, and some recommend Electro-Harmonix, Cathedral.

Any takers on this one? I am trying to replicate Mike Pinder's Moodies Mellotron.

Mark

Start with a Mark II.
 
Actually, I like the Alesis Nanoverb.

I have an Alesis Midiverb II which works great (in general).
I use it for various purposes. It contains many pre-sets. 

Anyhow, I have Akai samplers (S2000 & CD3000XL) with Master Bits Mello Zone MKII samples installed. Very nice. The entire 8 sec of each note from a real MKII was sampled and not looped.

I run the Akai through a DANELECTRO DSR-1 SPRING KING reverb (real analog with a real spring) Very nice to my ears.
