    Yes, that was a long time ago. Listening to the song again it sounded as if I used the flute setting but I suspect I might have played and recorded the “mellotron” track separately from the guitar track – the Mel sound doesn’t always follow the guitar sound as far as I can hear.

    Big trick is to use a volume pedal with the Mel to “swell” and “fade” the mellotron sound during the song. The volume pedal is plugged into the Mel “Effect” output, before it runs into the mixer. The “dry” output (with the original guitar sound) goes straight to a separate channel on the mixer.

    Hope this helps

    What I really found working well is to place a foot control volume pedal between the Mel9 effects output and the amp/desk. While the Mel 9 is always on, this allows you to stop, start and swell the mel effects.
