Congratulations on purchasing the Electro-Harmonix MEL9 Tape Replay Machine.
Now any electric guitar player can have access to nine magically quirky, dark and
unique Mellotron
cumbersome 13-pin MIDI pickups! In addition to electric guitar, you can trigger
the MEL9 with any instrument that produces an electrical output, such as a
keyboard or a bass, down to 55 Hz or A1.
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 you can throw at it!
WARNING: Your MEL9 comes equipped with an Electro-Harmonix 9.6DC-200BI power
supply (same as used by Boss
100mA at 9VDC with a center negative plug. Using the wrong adapter or a plug with the
wrong polarity may damage your MEL9 and void the warranty.
GETTING STARTED
Connect the supplied power adapter to the 9V power jack. Plug your instrument
into the INPUT jack; connect your amp to the EFFECT OUTPUT jack. Set the DRY
knob to minimum (fully counterclockwise) and set the other top row knobs to 12
o'clock. Select a preset ("ORCHESTRA" is a good starting point) and step on the
footswitch to turn on the LED. Play your instrument and adjust controls to your
liking.
