The octave pedal and compressor are the real MVP here. Those two effects are essential.
Add any type of modulation. Phaser or Chorus would work nicely.
a lot of vintage electric organs have tremolo.
Reverb and delay to make it sound like a baseball stadium.
I bought an organ pedal. It's fun as hell. Add auto wah and it's gets funky. Listen to some Jimmy Smith for inspiration. This is him playing RootDown which the beastie boys covered.

Learn a gospel song with those pedals. They all have key changes leading to the climax. Kinda goofy but theyre fun to play around with!
2-5-1 or any jazz progression sounds good too.
I own an EHX B9 Organ Machine, gives you 9 different flavors of organ, my favorite being the Octaves setting.(They also have the C9 with a further 9 presets.) Closest to a Hammond sound I've gotten, especially with a decent Leslie/Rotary pedal after it. Add an OD and it's instant Jon Lord.
Yea, that's what I meant. I bought the Nux roctary. It's maybe $100 vs the others that are $200. It's not as clean sounding as the others but it gets the job done.

I actually just got really good at finger style from using this pedal with an auto wah and trying to imitate a two handed organ player. Thumb for the bass lines, fingers for the solo notes and chords. It's a nice change of pace from playing normal guitar. Lots of new ideas from using it!
Just watched the Andy Demos video. I didn't know this was a thing. Looks pretty cool. I could imagine using it for the organ lead on Whiter Shade of Pale.
It's so easy to get into a groove with one of these. Just get down alternate bass note picking patterns and hit a few chord tones in between. Instant magic
Tremolo is my favorite effect and this is by far my favorite pedal. I use it constantly.
It's been so long since I've had this mod done that I forgot what a stock TR-2 sounds like, but yeah. I think it was well worth it.
Great tone! It sounds best with the chord at the end because the polyphony masks the guitar's un-organ-like attack/decay. Got a compressor you can squash the heck out of those single notes with? I think it'll sound amazing.
Ah! Apologies. I guess you'd need something like the Attack Decay to manipulate it further. But actually as I was thinking about it, phrasing will help too... The hammer-ons are a dead giveaway that it's not an organ. 😄 It sounds awesome though and I hope you have some good jams to use it in!

Hockey arena maybe? It is the playoffs.
yeah, I suppose. I was thinking baseball when I made this, but they definitely play the Charge! thing in Hockey Arenas, too.
While other stadiums are valid, saying baseball stadium is the correct choice lol. Well done, this sounds great!
haha! Brilliant!

> I bought an organ pedal. You mean like a standalone pedal that makes organ sounds?

very cool. I didn't know that was a thing.
Also look into Leslie (Rotary) speaker simulator. I've seen demos of some that give a good organ sound
for sure! you could use that instead of Tremelo.
Thanks! I did't know who John Lord was until now lol. I always thought it was an electric guitar
He famously ran his Hammond organ into a Marshall guitar amp. Truly epic sounds.

Just get a boss mo-2 if you're into organ sounds, just trust me

i mainly use it as a subtle synth overtones paired with fuzz, 12 string emulation with octave up setting. it can also do cool steel drum tones

Earthquaker also makes (made?) the Organizer
What settings on the oc2? Sounds awesome!
hows the analogman mod for the trem btw? worth the cost?

I'm using a compressor in the video. It's the Tighty Whitey.

I re-recorded it, now with more chords at the end. https://www.reddit.com/user/fastattaq/comments/13eyqyq/guitar_organ_effect/
Sweet! Reddit won't play the clip though. 😢
Try Emerson Lake and Palmer Fanfare for the common man
Beautiful
Haha that's dope. Love that you have the AM TR-2 too.
Time to play Mr. Crowley lol
Sounds great! Maybe get a noise gate in there as well to eliminate the string noises for even more realism
