Melos Tape Echo Chamber

This is a demo of my Melos Echo chamber. I am playing my Roland SH09 through it with decay set very low so that all of the sustain and echo effects you hear are generated by the Melos itself. The second phrase (at about 0:08) is the DRY sound so you can get an idea of what the Melos adds to the sound.

These are absolutely great for surf guitar as well as dubby outer-space noises. I can't play guitar or I'd give you a demo of that.

I hear a lot of noise, is this coming from the Echo Chamber or is it just bad recording?

[rasclaatuk]

@MrCoenE a bit of both to be honest, it's a very ancient machine and it's plugged into a noisy old amp with audio recorded on the camera's inbuilt mic! so it was never going to sound crisp.

[StopStealingVideos]

yes ras can you plug in 2 audio sources at the same time ie dub siren and mic or turntable ect or will it ness up the db output levels? might be able to get my hands on one cheap but worried about the tapes...thnks sound nicee...

I have now sold this unit, but I think from memory that it didn't work so well with two things plugged in. The tapes are extremely hard to find but I have heard that this guy refurbishes them!
