“An orchestra at your finger tips”
Turn your guitar into a cello, string section, flute, saxophone, choir, clarinet and more. The Electro Harmonix Mel 9 is a guitar pedal recreation of the vintage Mellotron tape keyboard that opens up a whole world of sound exploration. The original keyboard was used on a ton of classic songs including the iconic intro to The Beatles’ Strawberry Fields Forever and I am the Walrus.
The polyphonic MEL9 uses the same extraordinary technology as the B9, C9 and KEY9 to transform your axe and resurrect the sound of vintage tape-based keyboards.
