Jeez this thing is kind of cool

[Haberdasher]

i have to agree it sounds pretty wicked.

Bet it's all digital.

It'd be ridiculous if it wasn't

Sure, just wanted to calm down expectations for a soon DIY version...

I had to check the video wasn't posted on april 1st, what a great effect

Looks cool.

Anyone who is into guitar synth type tones owes it to themselves to check this out:

You can then play whatever synth, organ, violin, cello, peruvian nose flute you want 

I have it and it works perfectly. Being a software program it's more useful in studio/recording scenarios than live though.

Seriously: this software is amazing.

It requires no extra hardware and tracks better than my old Roland GK pickup system I had 

Anyone who has a reasonably good soundcard (preferably with guitar/DI in), computer and DAW should be good to go.

I've just had that weird feeling, you know, the one you get when someone has put a v8 in a prius and when they fire it up your brain gets all confused *that doesn't sound like it should*

I want one

Think there is a chance this is FV-1 based with custom programming? Or, is it some other form of digital logic?

Someone mentioned EHX using Black Fin DSP chips earlier, so I would imagine they have stuck with that (very powerful) platform.

That would be me and is certainly what they were using for their digital pedals, I don't know if that's true of the newer ones, if so then maybe with external RAM (the micro pog actually did it all with the on board impressively).

An FV-1 version of this can be heard in the EQD Organizer... which I thought sounded awful and laggy.

The only EHX product I know of that used the FV-1 was the Holy Stain... and I imagine it IS the only thing they used it in.

This is great! Now, your rock power trio can double as a jazz organ trio for double the gigs!

I just put in a pre-order with Sweetwater. $220. Been a long time since I bought a commercial pedal new!

[juansolo]

Loads of people on The Fretboard have ordered them. I'm waiting for the inevitable flipping once the novelty has worn off

Do want.

A mate can cop those sounds with his HOG, so my guess is that it uses the same engine.

I'd like to hear Yngwie play through the Cathedral setting maybe bring Jens Johansson into it, Duelling Keyboards.

Will the HOG get the click on the attack? I was really appreciating on the B9 how much that adds to the B3 realism.

[Leevibe]

Brilliant idea, nice sounds.

Notice there was no string bending? Wonder how it would track that?

Needs a Leslie fast/slow switch as well to be really a killer unit........

I'm curious about tracking too, both pitch and volume decay. I'm guessing there's an abrupt cutoff below a threshold. Otherwise, how would the percussion/click work?

Here's the manual if anyone is interested.
