Members FormerlyBassred Posted April 18, 2015 Members Share Posted April 18, 2015 I just have a few sessions of messing with the B9 pedal, but I can say I am impressed! I run a wet/dry setup, so I put the B9 (and a compressor - the only thing I heard from a bunch of folks beforehand was that a comp will help with the attack - and I cannot agree more) inline on the 'wet side' and love it. I may need to get an EQ pedal, though - the bass is quite fat and full and with my amp set for a good guitar sound it is almost too much bass with the organ sound on. I have it set up to be a good B3 sound, with light/slow modulation and then I have a chorus pedal sett up to make it sound like a faster leslie sound - the only thing I'm missing is the ramp up/slow down of an actual rotating speaker. Will it fool a purist? probably not, but in a live band setting it will certainly make people look around and ask 'Where's the Organ!?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I think the EHX B9 works very well with some outboard effects supporting it. I mentioned that in the review I wrote on the B9. The effects are available from a variety of pedals - it's the basic organ type sound that was previously so hard to replicate - and the B9 really does a good job of that. Add a nice chorus, maybe some trem, or a good Leslie sim, and you can do surprisingly realistic sounding organ simulations with it. IMHO it's a really cool pedal. And I think that in skilled hands, and with the aid of a bit of studio slight of hand, it could fool quite a few people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FormerlyBassred Posted April 18, 2015 Author Members Share Posted April 18, 2015 Saw the review (http://www.harmonycentral.com/expert-reviews/electro-harmonix-b9) - definitely all good points. For my use the peal is going to add a little 'What the ____!?' for the audience, I'm not going to be taking any Greg Allman or Doctor John solos on the thing!! Congrats, BTW - glad to see you are still on with HC (and now Gibson!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KjStrat62 Posted April 20, 2015 Members Share Posted April 20, 2015 One good thing about EHX pedals are they have the ability to go way over the top.. Better to have enough than not/ Kj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats, BTW - glad to see you are still on with HC (and now Gibson!) Thank you sir! BTW, has anyone tried out the EHX C9 yet? From what I've read it is the same basic idea as the B9, but it has different organ sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
