Vox Guitar Organ Demo
Переглядів 260 тис.14 років тому
Demo of a mid 60's Vox Guitar Organ a rare and strange hybrid instrument that incorporated a Vox Continental organ and a Phantom guitar. Not everything works on this guitar.....it's old and unreliable....but rare and cool! Pardon my sloppy playing, this is meant to demo the guitar...not my playing skills, and besides....this instrument is harder to play than you would imagine! 2017 UPDATE: Afte...

MCI Guitorgan B-35 Demo - demonstration of the sounds and applications of a Guitorgan. This is one of the last Guitorgan models, built in the late 70s/early 80s, and works great. Pardon my sloppy playing!
it cool
Finally somebody plays it properly. You have to go easy on it and play very deliberately or the tracking will go all wacky
Cool, you can make it sound like a Leslie organ speaker.
Here's how to REALLY play a guitorgan 👍 ua-cam.com/video/Ed1_m3rCACs/v-deo.htmlsi=3kj9cbOQlFd75g_w

4:46 house of the rising son🎸
Throwing in the Barrett era Floyd. Nice.
Amazing engineering, great sounds better than the organ sounds I have on my software guitar samples 👍
I hear Emmy Play Pink Floyd haha😊. Amazing !!!!
Very cool but the feedback when you're not playing is unbearable. Sounds like an alien transport beam from a 50's scifi movie.
I played one of these at a teen fair in Houston in the late 60s. Since I played guitar and organ a bit I got a lot out of it and the inventor let me keep going. All the Vox guitars were there too. They had just come out.
Nice grounding issue.
Thank you
Does the organ sound constantly bleed through like that even during rests?
You can turn it off completely, or use some kind of noise gate (I assume), but there’s a lot of analog electronics going on in this thing. And it’s 40+ years old, so noise is to be expected on some level
You can hear the guitorgan on Freddie Hart’s country classic “Easy Loving.” It was a huge hit in 1971, on both the country and pop charts. That is one awesome instrument!
Electro-Harmonix makes 2 pedals that do this…no special pickups. The EH B3 and C3 pedals do it they are fantastic!
I own both, and they’re fun pedals. But it’s not quite the same. The EH pedals are a digital simulation and it shows in the response while playing it, whereas the Guitorgan is an analog instrument. Both are great depending what you’re trying to do, but I would not say that the pedals do the same thing at all.
House of the rising Sun example
I played one of these back in 75 at Carmelo's House of music in Cedar Rapids Iowa when I was 16. My dad and I were invited to come in to try it out as I was taking guitar lessons there. It was quite incredible. It's funny how your memory works. I recently heard a demonstration of a new peddle just released by Strymon called the Cloudburst. Hearing this peddle immediately brought to mind the guitorgan. Strangely, after listening to you play it sounds nothing like I remember it. haha. If you have not seen this peddle, you really need to hear it. ua-cam.com/video/RzYeR2xkgyE/v-deo.html
Very Brian Jonestown Massacre of a bygone age...
Wanted one of these since forever.
Can it turn down the vibrato?
1:45
Hello, I was lucky enough to purchase one of these, but I am unable to get the guitar and the organ to play at the same time. Do you need to hook up to 2 amplifiers or can you use a Y cable on the foot pedal?
Hi Arthur, the pedal should have separate outputs for both guitar and organ. You need to run a cable from each one to a separate amp, or to separate channels of the same amp (if possible).
@@Whicol2 thank you very much for your help
This instrument also has 5 Slider Drawbars.
It looks just like Chuck Berry's Guitar
It makes a great Jazz Guitar. Strumming on it sounds amazing.
They should make more of these things cause they've improved them:ua-cam.com/video/cyoTgoMITW4/v-deo.html I played this song.
This may never get answered but I'll ask anyway. When you first switch on the organ effect, are you playing "your song" by Snail? If not, look it up.
I wasn’t, actually. Just a coincidence it was a similar chord progression to Snail. I looked up that song, good stuff!
@@Whicol2 Thanks for the reply. I'm a bit shocked on such an old video. You should do more. It was an interesting piece of gear. Thanks again!
3:30 in a Rob Zombie voice “yeheh spaceship zombie werewolf rockin in a tree”
It sounds great but what’s that noise when you aren’t playing?
60-cycle hum. There are a ton of electronics going on here, and the emit a lot of background noise when it isn’t playing. Just the nature of old analog gear, really. Plugged into a vintage amp as well
Hell ya!!! Playing some Interstellar Overdrive!!!
Over half the video plays before you hear organ...Jesus fucking christ
You’re more than welcome to create your own video. GTFO.
Dude its a demo, not a history of the instrument...shut the fuck up and play the damn thing...
Actually, it is a history of the instrument as well. So shut the fuck up.
♥
can you play any other chord other than a Student E chord ?
Managing to score of these tonight!! Super excited to mess with it
Excellent, congrats! A B-35 model, like this one? I picked up another one last week, but it needs some work.
@@collinwhitley3543 b35 indeed! I'm still trying to figure out how it works, the internet is scarce of pictures how to actually plug it all in
@UC2vm59wqKHFcP847j4kYDUg 2:34 Sounds kinda like Wedding bells. This could be useful for Glee Cast covers cause Naya Rivera died recently. Also play the devil went down to Georgia cause Charlie Daniels died.
The Rickbarrett model.
I played one of these years ago and the very first thing I played was House of the Rising Sun, naturally .I was happy when you finally got to it. Thanks !
That would be awesome for house of the rising sun.
I thought my tinnitus was really acting up until someone else complained about the squealing sounds.
Too bad about the noise when not playing...a noise gate might fix this issue?
Its just old and out of spec. Some new components and trimpot adjustments and it'll be back to normal. A lot of old organs have this problem past a certain age.
How did you learn to play the interstellar over drive riff in the Vox Guitar organ? It was the best sounding version of it I have heard.
man that thing has some real smack to it as a guitar.
Had one once. Tossed the organ part that didn't work. Should have kept it, because otherwise it was a decent guitar.
Hey man thanks for sharing these weird unique old guitars! Too bad about people talking so much crap on your Vox video that you had to disable comments...I dig these videos, and though they're 7 years old, it'd be cool if you make some more demo videos...I'm sure you've acquired more over time!
By the way: for anyone wanting to hear a GOOD example of how good a guitorgan can sound when played right (not that this guy isn't playing it right!!! LOL), listen to "Yvette in English" by Joni Mitchell. I'm pretty sure the guy used the accordion sound on that song.
Question. Is there any way to "synth" the sounds on this and change them to make the organ sound the way you want? Or even run it through a synth processor and basically make the organ be ANY synth sound you want?
Electro harmonix makes an organ and piano pedals, less expensive and way more options.
Midi guitar
That was totally slick, throwing in that bit from "Interstellar Overdrive" :)
where could i find one of these at?
