As it???????s turned clockwise the notes fade in more gradually- Sustain control adjusts the release time after a sound is stopped. As its turned clockwise, the fade out time increase- Comes with a standard EHX 9.6DC200mA PSU- Dimensions in inches: 4.0 (w) x 4.75 (l) x 2.25 (h)- Dimensions in mm: 102 (w) x 121 (l) x 89 (h)Mellotron is a registered trademark of David Kean, M. Resch AB and Markus Resch.Now any electric guitar player can have access to nine magicallyquirky, dark and unique Mellotron sounds.  No more extra devices suchas special and cumbersome 13-pin MIDI pickups! In addition to electricguitar, you can trigger the MEL9 with any instrument that produces anelectrical output, such as a keyboard or a bass, down to 55 Hz or A1.can throw at it!The polyphonic MEL9 has superior tracking; you can create single notes or chords with ease. The MEL9 will follow guitar bends, dive bombs, slurs, and any other guitar expression/performance techniques youCONTROLSThe DRY VOL knob controls the volume of the untreated instrument level on the EFFECT OUTPUT jack.DRY VOL KNOBThe EFFECT VOL knob controls the overall volume of the selected preset at the EFFECT OUTPUT jack.EFFECT VOL KNOBgradually.ATTACK KNOB Use the ATTACK knob to set the volume swell speed, or the speed at which the effect begins to be heard. Turn the ATTACK knob down (fully counterclockwise) for a fast attack with minimum swell. Turn the knob up to increase the amount of swell and to have the notes fade in moregets bright.NOTE: When using the BRASS preset, the ATTACK knob adjusts the speed of a filter sweep. This adjustment controls how quickly the BRASS soundknob up to increase the fadeout time.SUSTAIN KNOB The SUSTAIN knob controls the amount of time a sound continues to play after you stop playing. When the SUSTAIN knob is turned down (fully counter-clockwise), the fadeout time is at its minimum setting. Turn theimpact on the sound produced by adjusting the SUSTAIN knob.NOTE: When using the BRASS preset, the SUSTAIN knob adjusts the amount of lip buzz characteristic of brass instruments such as trumpet?heard at the onset of mint notes. Lip buzz is a subtle addition to the BRASS preset, and at times you may have difficulty hearing thealways present at the DRY OUTPUT jack.PRESET KNOB Turn the white numbered knob to select a preset sound.

Now you can go for it!TIPS ON GETTING OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE FROM THE MEL91. The MEL9 is generally best used as the first pedal in an effects chain. Place modulation, delay, and reverb effects after the MEL9. The unit will not perform well if placed in the effects loop of a guitar amp. 2. If a guitars pickup has a weak output, performance can be improved by putting a clean boost or a compressor in front of the MEL9. Avoid placing a distortion or overdrive in front of the MEL9. Placing distortion or overdrive in front of the MEL9 will muddy up the input signal and cause the tracking to be unstable. If you want to add overdrive or distortion, place it after the MEL9. 3. The MEL9 tracking response is limited depending on the preset chosen, and the type of electronic instrument you use to trigger the effect. On guitar, the usable range for these sounds goes up to about the 23rd fret on the high-E for some presets, and to only the 16th fret for others. On bass guitar, the MEL9 tracks only about as low as the open A-string. 4. The MEL9 imitates Mellotron sounds, so the MEL9 will only sound as real for any of the nine instruments as the Mellotron does. For example, the FLUTE preset is the same as the Mellotrons flute which is a recording of a real flute. 5. Pay attention to performance gestures (vibrato, trills, slides, and so on) and the settings for ATTACK and SUSTAIN. If you want to mimic a Mellotron, play pianistically with as little guitar inflection as possible. If you want to simulate an actual sound such as a cello, adapt your performance gestures to help mimic the actual sound. Otherwise, let your creativity guide your approach to playing the MEL9. And that means you should feel free to go wild by combining atypical performance techniques with traditional sounds. So what if an actual clarinet does
