Electro-Harmonix EHX B9 Organ Machine Effects Pedal FX
Product
Information:
With 9 presets that
were finely tuned to emulate the most
legendary organs from the ‘60s and beyond,
the B9 Organ Machine will transform your
guitar or keyboard. Control the instrument’s
signature percussive click and sweet
modulation. Blend your dry signal to create
lush layers. Enough tonewheel and combo
organ inspiration to light your fire and
cook up some green onions!
Here are some tips on getting optimum
performance from the B9 Organ Machine.
1. The B9 is best as the first pedal in an
effects chain.
Place modulation delay and reverb effects
after the B9.
The unit will not perform well if placed in
the effects loop of a guitar amp.
2. The unit performs best using the bridge
pickup of a guitar.
If a guitars pickup has a weak output,
performance can be improved by putting a
clean boost or a compressor in front of the
B9.
It is not advised to place a distortion or
overdrive in front of the B9.
This will muddy up the input signal and
cause the tracking to be unstable.
If overdrive or distortion is desired it’s
best to place it after the B9.
3. Some guitar amplifiers have a uneven
peaky frequency response that may cause some
sounds to be over accentuated.
A compressor in front or after the B9 can
help smooth this out. This helps for a
guitar player who’s playing is less than
desirable in the dynamics department.
4. The B9 was designed to be used with a
guitar.
The unit can be used with a bass guitar BUT
the range the bass player can play will be
limited.
The unit tracks best above the C note, third
fret on the A string.
Below that performance is compromised and
not recommended.
5. The top range using a guitar in standard
tuning is the 23rd fret.
Above that the organ sound will not be
heard.
6. Garbage in Garbage out.
The B9 tracks great and will follow what
ever you play, but it is not a talent
booster.
Sloppy guitar playing will sound like a
sloppy organ player.
The B9 will bend notes just a regular guitar
does.
Organs do not bend, so for a more authentic
organ sound limit bending.
