Years ago I used the Morley Rotating Sound pedal, which to my ears actually sounded more like a modern Phaser pedal.
Having not really been into the "active playing" music scene for several years, I know tech has grown by leaps and bounds. I recently watched a youtube vid with the EH B9 Organ Machine with steel and I was impressed.

Especially with the sustain, which went on forever.
It is a fair amount of money to plunk down on a gadget, especially just for noodling around at home or with friends, but now I'm thinking of getting one. What is your favorite Organ Effect Pedal and why?

| Tim..Recently purchased the 'B9' pedal after viewing the demo clips and was pleasantly surprised, produces a very convincing Leslie effect. (Need to be cautious to avoid using pedal bends or swells when it is engaged however, results in a muddled, overly "swirly" sound). Acquired it for use with one group that I work with who's set list includes everything from Buck Owens to Otis Redding (sounds great playing soft background pads on, 'Sittin' On the Dock of the Bay'). |

I wondered about that. I played through a friends organ pedal a year or so ago, can't remember which it was - but it gave an odd effect if you were doing much more than simple chording.
I have an octave pedal or two that will also produce some funky sounds if you do more with it than it wants to process at one time...

It's fun to clik on a link and see yourself doing a demo on YouTube. Hope you enjoyed my playing and assessment of theC9 organ machine.
You have to use this effect, or any effect that you want to simulate an organ or Leslie simulator as if you were actually playing an organ. You also probably want to minimize the
Mashing of the pedals as you may a MOOG effect.
I have mine up for sale if interested as I mostly play at home.
Regards,

There is a long forum discussion here.
I'm selling a EHX B9 pedal in the For Sale: Amps and Accessories section if anyone is interested. |

Deleted. My bad. My assumtion was all pedals that emulated the leslie sound. In the past, before Pogs, B9's, etc, we usually called the rotating speaker emulators, "organ effects".

I think there is some confusion here. There are organ pedals and then there are Leslie pedals. I usually play through a rack and after much trial and error with numerous Leslie pedals, I am back to an H & K Rotosphere. I just find it hard to beat and I have tried them all. Of course, I run mine through the effects loop in stereo which greatly improves the effect. As far as a strictly organ pedal, the EHX B-9 is hard to beat.
When I'm using a combo amp, I like the Leslie/Hammond pedal together with the B-9. |
