Electro-Harmonix B9 Organ Machine Guitar Effect Pedal
The Electro-Harmonix B9 Organ Machine Guitar Effect Pedal is a revolutionary tool for guitarists who want to emulate classic organ and electric piano sounds with jaw-dropping realism. Whether you are performing live or recording, this pedal provides nine distinct organ tones that seamlessly transform your guitar into iconic sounds that have defined generations of music. From the subtle nuances of a smooth jazz organ to the explosive power of a classic rock organ, the B9 Organ Machine makes achieving these sounds effortless and free from tracking issues, glitches, or false notes. The pedal combines true-to-life organ tones with modulation effects, offering guitarists unprecedented versatility and an innovative way to shape their sound.

Nine Classic Organ Tones for Every Musical Style
The B9 Organ Machine gives you access to nine different organ settings, each offering a unique and realistic sound. The first six presets are based on the classic tonewheel organ, providing everything from a fat and full tone with octave harmonics to a smooth and subtle jazz tone reminiscent of jazz legend Jimmy Smith. The Gospel preset channels the church organ sound, while the Classic Rock preset captures the iconic sound heard in songs like Procol Harum’s "Whiter Shade of Pale." Each setting includes a rotary speaker emulation, whose speed is adjustable via the Mod knob, allowing for further tonal exploration. Whether you're after a warm, soulful sound or a punchy rock organ, the B9 Organ Machine offers a diverse range of tones to suit any style.

Iconic Organ Sounds with Built-In Modulation Effects
What makes the B9 Organ Machine stand out is its ability to add more than just static organ sounds. Each of the tonewheel settings includes built-in modulation effects such as a rotary speaker emulation, tremolo, vibrato, or key click. The modulation effects can be further customized with the Click knob, which allows you to control the depth of the effect. For example, the Cathedral organ setting features a historical pipe organ sound with a unique tremolo effect, while the Continental setting offers a transistor organ tone with smooth vibrato. The Bell Organ setting layers a chimey electric piano sound over a tonewheel organ with a blendable tremolo effect, offering a combination of organ warmth and bell-like clarity.

Wet/Dry Blending for Dynamic Control
Another standout feature of the Electro-Harmonix B9 Organ Machine is its ability to blend your guitar’s dry signal with the organ effect. The pedal features two knobs — Dry and Organ — that allow you to control the balance between your unaffected guitar tone and the processed organ sound. This provides dynamic flexibility, especially for live performance, where you may want to maintain some of your original guitar tone while adding the organ effect. Additionally, for more complex setups or studio use, the B9 Organ Machine provides dual outputs, enabling you to send the wet and dry signals to separate amps or processing units. This feature is particularly useful for musicians who want to run their clean guitar through one amp and the organ sound through another for a more expansive sound.

Ideal for Both Stage and Studio Use
Whether you’re a live performer or a studio musician, the B9 Organ Machine excels in both environments. On stage, it’s a compact, pedalboard-friendly option that lets you easily switch between organ sounds and modulation effects. Its simple three-knob layout ensures quick and intuitive adjustments during performances. In the studio, the B9 Organ Machine becomes a versatile tool that allows you to experiment with different organ tones and effects while keeping your guitar signal intact. Its ability to store multiple settings, adjust modulation depth, and output to multiple amps makes it a valuable addition to any guitarist’s rig.
