Electro Harmix have turned your guitar in to an organ with their B9 and C9 pedals. Then they set their eyes on changing it in to a keyboard with the Key9…Now they are changing it in to a Mellotron with the new Mel9. Built using the same zero latency technology the Mel9 completely changes your guitar signal in to that classic, warm, lo-fi sound that we associate with mellotrons.

9 New Sounds

In the Mel9 you have 9 completely new sounds that have not been on any EHX pedal before. From huge and smooth sounding orchestral and string based sounds that have enough power to fill a mix by itself. To smaller and more intricate options like the flute, clarinet and saxophone that have an incredible amount of dynamic control.

Here’s what Wlwctro Harmonix say about the MEL9

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.

MIDI

MIDI pedals use the Musical Instrument Digital Interface standard to communicate with other guitar pedals, effects units, and hardware. They allow control over presets, parameters, and switching across multiple devices from a single controller. MIDI integration makes it possible to build complex, synchronised pedal setups while keeping control simple and consistent.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
