Have any of you guys seen this thing yet? Its an effect pedal that turns your guitar into an organ, kind of unbelievable honestly. Has anyone put a bass through it yet? There's a small video on youtube of some guy doing it with another pedal, but he doesn't really mess with the pedal much, just uses one of a couple sounds. When I get the money to buy a new toy I'm seriously considering this thing.

I'm with you! I actually just heard about this thing from a friend today, and I have been seriously gassing for it.:help: I was wondering the same thing as you, but did a search, and lo and behold! Someone else lusts after this beautiful polyphonic marriage of Sir Analog and and The Dutchess Digital!:p From what seen, read, and heard, this thing tracks better than a great many other octave devices.:hyper: I could also really use that Choir knob to my advantage....:ninja:

EDIT:

Looks like there are no bass demos, and quite a few TBers are looking at it. One guy even won it in a free pedal giveaway, but alas, he sent it off for repair and no demos yet... :(

I have owned it. It tracks great. It has 1 octave up and 1 octave down. The "choir" is 2 octaves up and/ or 2 octaves down.

In my opinion, it makes a guitar sound like an organ, but not a bass. It is equal to a POG2 with a few extra knobs for tweaking.

Do you think that even though it doesn't make a bass sound like an organ it is usefull? I would love to hear some sound samples, but I might get a chance to try it out soon. How is it when only using it as an octave up or down? Sound good enough or should I look elsewhere?

Mine arrived last week!

It does octave up and down very well. The octaves are very organic sounding and it has way more character than the Micro POG.

However, it was never intended as a replacement for the POG. It was designed for that warbly, thick Leslie sound, not clean octaves. As a result, the octave up has a slight lag regardless of where you have the lag knob set. So those who are looking for a clean octave up for that 8 string sound will probably be disappointed.

At the moment, I'm just using the octave down and a little bit of upper octave after fuzz in my rock n roll band which sounds absolutely massive! If you twiddle around with the choir and lag controls though you can get (IMO) a fairly convincing 5 octave organ. I've also tried it on an electric piano and it sounds absolutely phenomenal.

So it beats a Micro POG?

i'm a litte biased, because.... you know... **** EXH, but the Micro Pog sounds horrible to me. the down octave is meh, the up sounds like steel drums. don't like it.

the Organizer does a few things different. there's a built in lag, part of the design, but it's like a tiny bit of latency to give it a blooming effect. the up octave and down octave sound WAY better than the Micro Pog's and the tracking is fine. i dig the little bugger a lot.

urrrm.... yah. in that demo Deltz linked i'm using the Organizer for a bit. i have some time today, i could try to throw together a more Just Organizer-centric demo if you want.

you suh (or madam?), have damn good ears. any cutoff/tremm'ish/stuttering until about 7.35 is a killswitch on the bass (love having one. wouldna want to have a steady bass that didn't have one. hell, we have a song that relies on it), from 7.35 it's a patch on the Timeline.

and yeah, it's a DAMN good pedal. i'm really impressed with how well it works with pretty much any other effect i've thrown at it.

thanks!
