I bought a B9 yesterday and returned it after trying it. My intention was to use it to give an organ sound to my superego which I use mainly for pads and swells stuff. I used to do that with an Earthquaker Organizer and a Electric Mistress. It worked pretty well but I thought I could save some space replacing both pedals with the B9.
Sadly the pedals don’t go along too well. To me it feels like the B9 works a bit like the Superego in auto mode. It needs a certain attack to track and play notes. Thus, when using long glissando with the Superego, the B9 just loses it for the length of the glissando.
When just punching chords on the Superego while playing it was mostly hit-and-misses.
That being said, the B9 alone by itself was terrific fun but just not what I need.

Would the Superego carry the input from the B9 if the B9 is at the beginning of the chain?

In my case, I returned the B9 and got a Pitch Fork instead. So once a sound is frozen, I can tweak the Fork and change the sound.
April 14, 2015 at 1:53 pm #120639tag78MemberThe Superego will not freeze any kind of auto modulation but if you have an expression pedal you can alter/modulate the frozen signal?
April 14, 2015 at 3:58 pm #120640SkibMemberThere is no expression jack on the Superego.
What I meant to say is that if you want to add some modulation (or any kind of effect) to the signal frozen by the Superego, then those effects have to be placed after the Superego (or in its effects loop). Once you freeze a sound, all pedals placed before the Superego have no effect on it.
