fxdx99 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Not talking about the strap extended out... Picked one of these up to use at the gig tonight (Tony/Rosa/me and a new sax guy). Should be fun comping with some cool sax and harmonies going on. Have you seen this? Pretty realistic sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuz Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I honestly don't know if I would ever use it (especially since we have a keyboard player) but after listening to the clip I want one. If nothing else than to tick off the keyboard player!!!! But seriously it does sound great!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZepp Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Wow.... Sounds a lot like my Roland guitar synth.. but mine doesn't have all those organ options.. there was a great variety of tones that they demostrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royst Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 That's pretty cool. Have fun with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Seacup Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Well, this was a risky click but well worth it. That's a nifty little unit you have there, Randy. Hope we get to see it at PSP! Wait, that came out all wrong, didn't it. What I mean is, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we are waiting with baited breath to watch you fiddle the knob and squeeze out...no, this is going badly. Let me start again...if anyone knows how to handle an orga...you know what, I'm done... Seriously, that's pretty cool. Had never heard of it before, but I can see where it would be fun to play with...dammit. Forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalismanRich Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 SInce I don't have any keyboard skills, that's probably the only way I'll get a B3 sound. I likey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxdx99 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Smile - fun post to wake up to, John Thankfully wasn't sipping coffee from the cup while reading from Dick's sippy-cup. Gig use feedback - the thing is surprisingly accurate soundwise. Was a small room, intimate setting where every note and nuance heard so I used it sparingly having only enough time at home to turn it on, ensure it works, find a couple settings and adjust volume to fit balance. Certainly turned a few heads or gave puzzled looks from folks when a 'B3' was comping on the first tune I used it on. Used the 525 thru a PRRI. Any pickup setting seems to work fine with it, tho 'hotter is better'. A guitars natural voicing doesn't come thru much. Likes '3 note' chord voicings, especially on the D/G/B strings. Chords 'bloom' like an organ when you hold them down. Found switching to 'organ' on certain passages like a chorus was effective. RB kinda stuff shown (especially with new sax player Steve, who can really blow). Fun toy. Have some tunes to use it on for work event that expect it will sit well on (Yes, Floyd, Trucks stuff). Will see how it fares for the long run - if novelty or 'real world' use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolero Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 that is pretty darn cool!! I bet it sounds better in a mix than on it's own, too they should make some promotional mens underwear to give away as swag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 what doesw it sound like when you bend the strings? does it gate the pitch, or can you do bends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxdx99 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Bending isn't very organ like. I don't really care for the sound of it with bending but it might appeal to some. Need to (IMHO) think play like an organist with 2 or 3 note comps/fills/solos, arpeggios, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I've already invisioned several uses for this on a cover band... Makes me sort of want one now... What's the damage on one of those anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitfiddler Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'd like to hear one of those in the hands...er...um, I mean feet of a capable jazz guitarist. That pedal could give Joey DeFrancesco a run for his money. OK, maybe not, but it's a very cool stomp box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schundog Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Organ on guitar?! PFFT.... Guitar on Organ is where it's at, brutha..... Just kidding. That thing sounds great in the demo. Obviously good for lead lines and select chord tones; I'd think it would be mush if you were just a strummer like me. I'd like to hear you play through it, buddy.

I'll see your Guitar on Organ and raise you a White Punk on Dope... Not sure if it'll be with at PSP, Lyle... maybe. Flying and wanna bring a guit, too.

Trouble Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I have an Earthquaker Devices Organizer and it is really cool, kind of the same thing, organ octave and qhoir sounds,don't use it much though. EH makes really cool stuff, always wanted a POG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingeneri Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Ok, I'm the skunk in the room. But after playing organ trio gigs the last six months (albeit with a Nord and not a real B3), I thought the pedal sounded terrible. Maybe it was his playing, and I realize you're not trying to be JimmySmith, but I didn't hear any of the sonic depth or overtones you hear in a great B3 type sound. Sorry, just my opinion.
