The Mellotron Group

Why from me? I love the real ones, but I'd take a fake one too.

The last time  I recorded with a Mellotron (70’s) it sounded fine.  Back 
then they were  borrowed or rented since  
(to address  your jab J) I don’t own one.  Now that may  not allow me to 
have an opinion on this group but  
I have  recorded groups with Mellotron and samples and I spent copious 
amounts of time  listening to Genesis,  
King Crimson,  etc. recorded and live…..and I did stay at a Holiday Inn 
last night! (US  commercial for those abroad).   
Seriously , I have run them through  guitar amps, reverb, and whatever to 
get the sound I wanted like the albums   
I listened  to.  Sorry if my ears aren’t as Mellotron astute as some here 
but I  wasn’t trying to put down the tape machines  
in any way….I  think you know that…..actually I was expecting that 
response from Frank!  J

In  a live or studio mix you would never hear the difference especially 
after the  reverb and  
other processing that is commonly used  on Mellotron tracks.  It will 
almost certainly out  
sell the tape machines but most on  this list will hate it no matter what 
it sounds like.   
Fire away…. J
