belle anche le istruzioni, con consigli per rendere al meglio
 
1. The KEY9 is generally best used as the first pedal in an effects 
chain. Place modulation, delay and reverb effects after the KEY9. The 
unit will not perform well if placed in the effects loop of a guitar amp.
2. The KEY9 typically performs best using the bridge pickup of a guitar, 
although some presets do sound good on the neck pickup. If a guitar’s 
pickup has a weak output, performance can be improved by putting a clean 
boost or a compressor in front of the KEY9. Avoid placing a distortion 
or overdrive in front of the KEY9. Placing distortion or overdrive in 
front of the KEY9 will muddy up the input signal and cause the tracking 
to be unstable. If overdrive or distortion is desired it’s best to place 
it after the KEY9.
3. Some guitar amplifiers have an uneven, peaky frequency response that 
may cause some sounds to be over accentuated. Use a compressor in front 
of or after the KEY9 to help smooth out this “peakiness.”
4. The KEY9 upper frequency range is limited for sounds such as Vibes or 
Mallets. This limitation is due to nature of the actual sounds of these 
percussive-oriented instruments, where harmonics decrease as the note is 
played increasingly higher. On guitar, the usable range for these sounds 
goes up to the 15th fret of the high-E string. The harmonics of the 
attacks are just too high above that and all that is left is the sound’s 
attack. As a point of reference, think about the top notes on a piano, 
where just about all you can hear is the attack in the form of hammer noise.
5. The KEY9 tracks great and will follow whatever you play, but sloppy 
guitar playing will sound like a sloppy electric piano player. The KEY9 
will bend notes as you bend them on the guitar. However, electric pianos 
do not bend, so for a more authentic sound avoid or limit bending.

"massivan"
 
Si, ma il Mellotron e' un riproduttore di nastri, noa ha
un timbro particolare, e' l'antenato del campionatore.
 
Diciamo che quel pedale fa il suono di " In The Court
Of The Crimson King"

Un album che piaceva -al giovane primi anni '70-.

Tutti e tre bellissimi. Quello che mi piace meno e che è sicuramente 
più difficile far suonare in modo convincente è il Key 9.
E' sempre difficile far suonare un piano come una chitarra e lo è 
sicuramente anche il contrario.
A parte che in mano mia sarebbero buttati, se dovessi prenderne uno 
credo che favorirei l'Hammond.
E' sicuramente più versatile di un Mellotron. Più collocabile, come 
suono.
Il Mellotron lo adoro ma suona un po' vecchio. Se devi mettere gli 
archi ad un pezzo e non suoni i Genesis, usi un altro strumento.
