The difference is that the MTron Pro Streetly Tapes are recordings made from our Skellotron replaying actual mellotron tapes so you get the eq lift from the pre amp/line amp. We would NEVER put out master tapes as they do not dound like a mellotron. The MTron Pro Streetly Tapes are much more authentic in sound than the erroneously named Scandanavian thing!
