Hammond organ sound

Post by Bowie Martin »

I use a Profex II now and sometimes use the organ sound. Are there effects pedals out that are more effective?

I sometimes use the Electro-Harmonix B9 Organ Machine, and it pretty much nails most of the organ EFX that I'd want.

They also make a C9 Organ Machine, which has different voices, and a nice "shimmer" effect.

H & K Rotosphere. But not made any more so there are few available and those are expensive.

Not saying it's the best, but the "rotary" effect on my Lexicon MX200 is good enough for what I need (occasional reggae).

I used the Electro Harmonix C9 pedal to track "B3" on this tune, played on the C6 neck.

Some of those pedals mentioned are "Leslie" pedals, not organ pedals.

the third setting on the Wazacraft CE-2W chorus gives a really nice leslie effect and it's a really nice chorus pedal in general. Since I don't use Leslie often, it's a good pedal for limited Leslie effect, and does dual purpose as a standard chorus pedal

What Chris Brooks said.

I just purchased a Rotosphere II off Reverb.com for about $350.00 plus the ride... so, not a cheap pedal. However, it has a 12AX7 tube that makes the sound very realistic and fat. I really like the sound and the flexibility and variety of the sound. It really shines when using it in the stereo mode with two speakers.

It seems that these pedals come up for sale on eBay and Reverb once in a while and it would be worth watching on those sites if you are interested.

Agree...

For the Leslie sim, organ folks seem to really like the Neo Ventilator -either the early or revised versions - both are well liked
