Yeah, as in "gotta try the mics, man!!!" :-)

Also I don't think Fritz or Jerry are out here (Fritz never was, and
I think Jerry's old e-address went bad).

sound.

I've been waiting for your post to the Mellotronists list with a
pointer to an mp3 of Gracious!'s tune. Bet you get a response from
Fritz and Rick, maybe others.

Will be a fun experiment.

Also - which direct boxes do you have again, Ken? I may be making a
trip to see Alain soon and may look into this for the M400. May be
interesting to try a tubed-up "warm" sound. Which one did Fritz
recommend? Is that one you got?

I definitely couldn't tell you how the pros do it...:-)

day.

Cool. Not surprising they just "started working"...This is the
Merbler Triangle, after all! :-)
