Mellowtone Melxowtone

Post by chuckjaywalk »

Long Story Short: I miss my old Mellowtone Melxowtone and all the links to schematics and layouts seem to be broken. Does anyone still have the info for making one?

It was an Electra, with a 1n34a/1n4001 pair for clipping. The Melx 2 used a 1n914 pair (or 4148).

I can email you the schem, as it has minor differences.

I remember having one of these in the HCFX era. No knobs. Just the switch and LED. Mellowtone made every one in the run with custom socks to the buyers preferences.

I owned the Fruit Stripe Gum one and sold it to a collector of Mellowtone pedals. I have 2 working clones and a handful that need troubleshooting on my bench. I need to get some enclosures and a drill.

If any collectors are reading this, I need info on the high five clean boost and the deluxe wolf computer with the high five boost integrated. My guess is that the high five boost is a clone of something really popular but that is purely a guess.
