The B9 is a pedal that simulates the sounds of classic rock n' roll organ types, such as the B3, Fender Rhodes... etc.

The demo video has me thinking it's a must have for me. I would love to add keyboard textures to my recordings but I don't own one. If I did, by the time I figured out how to play it.... well.... it would be a long road.

This is the EH promo video / demo:

Thoughts from the real world?

An amazing video Mike, thanks for posting. That effect reminded me of the Vox organ guitar from the mid 60s.
This pedal is more of a guitar sound effect:


Eric Clapton's solo at 2:34 of this video is the one I always thought used an organ effect

I think that mixing the straight guitar with the organ is something that has tremendous creative potential, like creating clouds of sounds the straight guitar will ride on.

I've tried it that way and you're quite right; it's a very full sound.

Sorry for hitting on one of your pet peeves.

You haven't offended me. Everyone does it. That's the nature of pet peeves. Something you have no control over that you don't feel is right.

I don't have pet peeves...I have entire kennels of irritation! :lol:

I can see the usefulness of such a pedal in a situation with 2 guitarists but no keyboardists (as the situation in my band), but luckily I didn't start GASsing over the pedal after seeing the review :lol: It can be useful, but I wouldn't want my guitar sounding like an organ. If I preferred that sound, I would have been learning to play organ instead of guitar :)


Easier said than done, in my case. My specific use would be to add some color to recordings. I would never aspire to be a Hammond virtuoso using the B9. Just to add some atmosphere and ambiance.

See... the guitar, the instrument I've been learning more about for the past 40plus years, is not going away for me! I'm not pitching it all to become an organ-grinder!

This would be just another crayon in the box.
