The Mellotron put an orchestra at the fingertips and redefined what it was to be a keyboard player. Now with modifications never dreamed of in the 1960s, our faithfully modeled reproduction will infuse your sound with updated vintage goodness.
Its unheard-of realism was infused with the quirks of each key playing a moving analog tape, creating a sound that went down in history with The Beatles, The Moody Blues, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, and countless others. Mellotron V brings that history, with every beautiful sonic imperfection, to your musical future.
Roll Tape
- Mellotron V’s keyboard response duplicates the unique attack phase of the play head connecting with tape with utmost accuracy.
Good Things Come in Threes
- Choose between the A, B, and C sounds on the loaded “tape” or select a blend of all three — something not possible on the hardware.
Tune your ’Tron
- The simple Tone control applies the same EQ curve as on the original. Simulate varying the tape speed with the Pitch knob.
Stompbox FX
- Vastly expand Mellotron V’s sonic palette with four FX slots, each of which lets you choose from 13 essential pedals.
Spin Doctor
- We may not be the first to think of running a Mellotron through a rotary speaker or Twin Amp, but we’re definitely the first to make it this easy!
