Members jchas Posted July 30, 2023 Members Share Posted July 30, 2023 Have good organ tone from my Kurzweils, but looking to do Highway Star (Deep Purple) and need to get Jon's "special sauce" distortion. I tried a couple pedals back in the 70/80's but they sounded nothing similar on keyboard as they did on guitar (overloaded input I assume?). Any suggestions?

Members badpenguin Posted July 30, 2023 Members Share Posted July 30, 2023 Depends. What amp are you using, does it have an effect loop, and does it have a master volume control? I see a Rat, Tubescreamer, or some variation of the Maestro line of pedals. (I think they have some fuzz face kinda thing.) Think vintage pedal, since that's what they had. Run it thru your effects loop as a gain pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jchas Posted July 30, 2023 Author Members Share Posted July 30, 2023 While it will probably get used live, for now it is for studio use only. It will be going direct to my Trident Series-65 console to Presonus-Quantum 4848. Live it would go direct to FOH console. I saw a video of Jon using a Marshall combo for the tone, but looking for a pedal to get that tone. Software isn't a reality as I will be playing live as well.
