am impressed by how much it wounds like an organ.

Its likely combining pitch, chorus, leslie/tremolo effect with some kind of compressor/expander but somehow sounds more organy than you could get. perhaps some wave shaping or granular shifting like superego going on there (or is that just me assuming there aren’t any new effects?). Was really expecting just a POG variation, tuned for organy sounds but is really just a ‘shimmer’ effect, like the earthquaker organizer does but it actually is an organ sound!
I can get different organ sounds with fuzz and vibrato effect with maybe pitch shift, but not these.

I wonder what other instruments ehx could imitate-to follow their sitar pedal as well. Maybe strings-some of the hazarai reverse settings get extremely like a string section, especially with a pitch shifter behind it.
Piano would be cool too, as in a sustain pedal, like a variation of the freeze that works like that.

Makes me want to experiment with effects a lot….getting dangerous ideas!

I met you in NYC, in the factory, second floor in the mid sixties, I think that’s wrong because I have no sense of time, forgive me. I bought most all of your pedals, I used the flanger the most to emulate guitar. After watching the vid twice, even with today’s tech, it’s impossible. You now own the world. I’m happy. A lot of bad attitude B-3 players will be fired. I can’t imagine, Steve Walsh’s solo on Point of No Return being played by a guitarist, ouch.

The Electro-Harmonix flanger got me an, “out of factory equipment tester position,” although no official title was given. Tony Marchese, however, did once called me a human interfacer. I got to see everything and floated through the big factory anywhere, I was present so much.

I met Dr. Moog early on, although I don’t think he would have remembered the original shop around Ithaca, NY, I should say his bum, in Williamsville, after the huge company from Chicago started to take the company apart, because he was inside a speaker at the intro time, although inside the enclosure he managed to get his head turned around to see me and say hi.

The secret flanger I usually had hidden, so impressed the designer of the Micro Moog, when hearing a band I was in, live, in Buffalo, used his factory discounts to allow me to buy one of the first off the line. As well as a PolyMoog and then gave me a backup for the tour. I think what impressed him most at the end of the evening I had a long solo and I could make the Micro squeak at will, at the end of a line which even impressed me.

I met Larry Fast for the first time at the factory.

In a three keyboard player band emulating guitar sounds, we tortured the guitar player all the time. I sent him an apology note a few minutes ago with the URL to the demo, telling him if this was real back then we (keyboard players) would have cried like little girls.

If you could now make a box for my strap on Rol with synth guts to sound exactly like a guitar without as much work, although not as great an accomplishment as the B9, or even close, it would be loved by keyboard benders.

Thanks Mike.

When will the B9 Pedal be available for purchase?

Sweetwater has it available for pre-sale.

Hey EHX, What is the drop date?

This is just the best immitation of an organ sound! Does anybody knows if the the effect of jazzorgan (and the others too) uses octaves up or octaves down? If I hear it I would think it are only octaves up. I hope it are only octaves up because octaves down are bad for guitaramp speakers.

Both above and below is available, according to the user manual.

[em]1. Fat & Full- This sound adds an extra octave below and above to make your
guitar sound twice as big. Fills out any band in an instant! MOD Type:
Chorus.
2. Jazz- This preset has the cool, smooth jazz tone reminiscent of the late
great organist Jimmy Smith. MOD Type: Chorus.
3. Gospel- This preset has the upper octave drawbars added to capture that
great soulful organ tone. MOD Type: Chorus.
4. Classic Rock- This preset captures the classic rock sound of songs like
Procal Harum’s “Whiter Shade of Pale.” Add a touch of distortion for a classic
dirty organ. MOD Type: Chorus.
5. Bottom End- This preset has the lower draw bar sound. Perfect for adding
bottom to your guitar or playing B3 bass sounds. With the CLICK control up you can lay down a bass line like the one on Sugarloaf’s “Green Eyed Lady.” MOD Type: Chorus.
6. Octaves- This preset uses the fundamental tone plus one octave above. This sound is great for songs like Led Zeppelin’s “Your Time is Going to Come.” MOD Type: Chorus. CLICK control adds not only key click, but higher harmonics.

But you shouldn’t be concerned about your guitar speakers. I have been playing organs (including my Hammond) through guitar speakers for years without problem and this guy ( http://youtu.be/4mW9b_KRedQ ) who probably did first, did it loud and for a very long time…

I would have liked to see other players use this. My only question is will it work w/ a harmonica and mic! Anybody know?
