Electro-Harmonix has released the Bass Clone, a chorus pedal with core circuitry that is nearly identical to the legendary Small Clone chorus, but with added features especially for bass.
Chorus is a combination of modulated and dry signals. The Bass Clone’s Crossover switch cuts low end from the modulated signal so the pedal delivers a more accurately articulated bottom end with excellent note definition. The Bass Clone’s Treble control affects the whole signal while the Bass control only affects the dry half. Together with the Crossover switch, they provide precise sound shaping that lets the player achieve a tight, focused bass guitar sound with a well-defined low end and shimmering chorus on top.
The Bass Clone features a compact footprint plus true bypass switching for maximum signal path integrity when in bypass mode. It runs on a 9V battery or an optional EHX 9.6DC/200mA AC adapter.

Electro-Harmonix MEL9 Tape Replay Machine Review by Guitar Player
Tested by Michael Molenda
Ever since being captivated by the Mellotron on Beatles albums, I've driven my keyboard playing friends insane by relentlessly pleading with them to bring their Mellotron sound libraries to recording sessions. They may have breathed sighs of relief in 2015, when Electro-Harmonix released its C9 Organ Machine with a single--and frustratingly beguiling--Mello Flutes patch. But this only made me more fanatical, and I leveled my crazed requests at the EH crew: "Okay, When will you give me a 100-percent Mellotron pedal?" Of course, those crafty EH peeps already had the MEL9 ($221 street) in development, and, now, one of my foremost gear dreams is a reality.
While keyboards still get the lion's share of Mellotron-tape sounds on their devices--along with more parameter control--the MEL9 offers massive advantage to guitarists looking to not only evoke the Beatles era, but also add eerie and otherwordly timbres to their musical armory. The nine sounds--Orchestra, Cello, Strings, Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Brass, Low Choir, High Choir--are lush, beautiful, and delightfully off-kilter, and you have dedicated controls for Effect Volume and Dry Volume, as well as Attack (for sensual swells or immediate gratification) and Sustain (release time). Those four control knobs are all I need to craft psychedelic textures, cinematic atmospheres, and spooky dreamscapes. If I bring in more of my guitar's dry sound, I can also produce riffs, licks, and solos with a hint of ear-catching "strangeness"-especially when the buffered-bypass MEL9 is partnered with a distortion, fuzz, or wah pedal. I've waited so long for this box 'o' sonic joy that I can hardly believe it's here. Pinch me.
Kudos: So wonderful that I cry a few jubilant tears every time I use it.
Concerns: None

Our new EHX 9Volt Battery is the classic carbon zinc type that has a higher internal resistance than an alkaline battery. This reduces circuit loading, especially in vintage effects pedals, to provide the best tone and dynamics.
Our new EH Strings allow you to capture every nuance of your playing style with lightning fast playability. Made of a pure nickel wrap with a specially-selected stainless steel, these sweet-sounding round wounds are truly like no other strings you've played. Not only do they last longer and stay in tune longer, but we think they're the best sounding strings ever made. Available in 9s, 10s and 11s.
