The Mellotron Group

OK this has been my FAVORITE thread of the day, and there have been many.
I want to say that my tron has lived in a Long Island basement where the
water tables are ankle high and the air humidity is often 200% or more ,
the winters are cold and clammy. It has moved from there to hot smoky
stages. No problems. I also want to know what kind of delay Tony uses.
I'll bet it is expensive!
I have a weakness for spring reverbs and tape echoes (more for the murky
flavor they add than the delay) but I would love a nice EMT plate!
