  • Get the EHX C9 Organ Machine here: www.sweetwater.com/store/detai...
    The Electro-Harmonix C9 Organ Machine can transform the sound of your guitar into nine different iconic organ and keyboard sounds! Related to EHX's B9, the C9 expands the tonal palette, offering four classic tone wheel organs, three transistor organs, a Mellotron, and something called Shimmer that needs to be heard.
    Your dry guitar sound can be balanced with the C9 sounds via the two top-mounted knobs. Modulation and key click, which are part of the tone wheel organ's sound, can be controlled with the Mod and Click knobs. Those knobs have different, cool functions with the non-tone-wheel sounds.
    The C9 plugs-in like any other pedal; no special cables or pickups needed. You can have both the C9 and your guitar signal coming out of a single output or their own, individual outputs.
    Fatten your guitar sound, cover an organ part, play dueling or unison lines with guitar and organ, all with excellent note tracking and ease-of-use, that's the C9 Organ Machine.
    Thanks for watching! Don Carr

    One of the best demo reviews on CZcams. Thanks for exactly explaining the product.

    This is one of the coolest pedals I've heard that really modifies the guitar as an instrument.

    I like the sounds of this one more than the other organ pedal. more retro and sound like they would be better with some reverb and delay on them as well.

    The "compact" setting could be used to play "House of the Rising Sun" in the great Animals version frm 1964! (Vox Continental)

  • @nate6692
    @nate6692 Před 2 lety +1

    This thing is awesome but... I wish they'd left off the leslie - the controls are so limited they should've put a couple drawbar settings on those knobs and leave the Leslie up to external effects so you can switch it on/off and speed up/slow down.

  • @chrisdaviesguitar
    @chrisdaviesguitar Před 6 lety +3

    With The flute sound, Strawberry Fields comes to mind. Actually, I'd like to see Don demo the Synth 9

    • @sweetwater
      @sweetwater  Před 6 lety

      Hi Chris, Don makes excellent use of the Synth 9 in a video called " How to Make Your Guitar Sound Like a Synth" czcams.com/video/7z1Ju9biGZE/video.html
      Thanks for watching!

  • @jmadruga78
    @jmadruga78 Před 8 lety +34

    He deliberately ruined the Lord Purple setting by distorting it with some external modded pedal. Why not just demo the C9 pedal, as in the title of the video?

    • @norbitcleaverhook5040
      @norbitcleaverhook5040 Před 7 lety +7

      Marcio Costa maybe its designed to be used with distortion.. it does sound like lord with distortion.. so probably the way its used best... there is other demos on CZcams

    • @gs167
      @gs167 Před 6 lety +2

      They should hire another person to do the demo.

    • @GuitarSlinger2112
      @GuitarSlinger2112 Před 4 lety +6

      @@norbitcleaverhook5040 You are correct. To get the John Lord sound you need to run it into a fuzz/distortion whether it be a pedal or your amp.

    • @JuiceboxDesmond
      @JuiceboxDesmond Před 3 lety +3

      That particular part of the demo happens to be exactly what I came to this video for. My search was "electroharmonix c9 overdrive". Just sayin.

    Would this device work with a (vocal) mic?

    • @hyphield6471
      @hyphield6471 Před 3 lety

      Of course!!! Every pedal that I have ever heard of will add the effect to anything you play through it, wether it's a mic, an mp3 player, a keyboard, or anything with an output jack...

  • @jacksuggs9078
    @jacksuggs9078 Před 6 lety +1

    Some ignorant comments below. This isn't the only C9 video on CZcams, duh.

  • @GuitarSlinger2112
    @GuitarSlinger2112 Před 4 lety +1

    Your video should just be a link to the official Electro-Harmonix demonstation. This is not a review, it's a brief overview and it doesn't do the pedal justice.

  • @naalar
    @naalar Před 8 lety

    No matter my EQ settings, the upper register is shrill. The flute Mellotron hardly works. Best setting for me is 3.
    I am using a compressor, in-line, to amp. I enjoy the box, but I am a tad disappointed

    • @itsonlyrocknroll12
      @itsonlyrocknroll12 Před 7 lety

      naalar - maybe try without compression

    • @SaxJockey
      @SaxJockey Před 4 lety +2

      All the videos that I have seen on this pedal do not adjust the tone control on the guitar - which is somewhat odd. Do you find that the guitar tone control does influence the output from the pedal?
