New "organ" pedal - EHX B9

[GregT]

Has anyone seen what the dimensions are yet?

Looks like standard EHX XO size, same the Bass Big Muff.

Note: It appears you can't turn off the leslie effect of the B9 (on presets 1-6, the B3 presets) you can only change the speed. So if you stacked this with another pedal you'd have two leslies.

But I wonder if you turn the mod control all the way down if that would equate to off, or nearly off.

We can hope ...

I'm hoping that the mod knob all the way down has no modulation, but either way, a Leslie isn't the same thing as a chorus. A Hammond B3, etc. has chorus and vibrato on board plus you can run it through a Leslie.

Isn't a Leslie two speed, slow and fast, with no off?

This pedal, according to the voice on the video, has a 'built-in rotating speaker effect' so I would interpret that as them saying 'It's a Leslie' in a way that doesn't infringe on trademarks.

Looks like it's continuously variable on this pedal, I could be wrong though, it could easily be continuous on the latter presets, but a switch between off/slow/fast on the lower (B3) presets.

They got me at "Green-eyed Lady." .

I didn't know that number, but on searching it out, sounds like this pedal nails it.

Would love to hear a bass demo.

That is the real question here ...

How does it sound with a bass?

 

[Londo Molari]

So, the B9 pedal looks very interesting, will a Clavinet D6 pedal follow soon?

Here in Europe - Thomann is listing that they will get their shipment on July 11th. Does anyone have a faster promise?

 

[Syxz_ML]

Not sure if it's been said already, but got an email from a Sam Ash rep stating they're taking pre-orders for it already and it ships July 10th.

My band auditioned a new guitarist last night.


And ....


He ...


Has one of the B9 pedals ...


He says it sounds every bit as good as the demo on youtube.



He did not bring the pedal with him so I did not hear it in person.

I really want to try it on bass. My concern is how will it sound on the low notes. I play a 5 string bass. So will a low D and low C sound like a churning organ or just a deep muddy mess?

Has one of the M9 pedals ...

Sometimes companies need to be a little more creative in how they name things!

Sorry ...

Sorry ...

Terrible .. but do try and get your hands on that pedal, play the B string and report how it sounds, and we'll forgive you.

I can totally use this in my solo/duo thing, but i'm not sure why a bass player would want one?

I have no problem with why a bass player would want the pedal. As to why he would need one ...
