This thing is LIGHT YEARS beyond the organ presets I was using from the
DX7 and the cheapo (but great sounding) Yamaha digital keyboard that I use for piano.
I had tried to program the DX7 to get different organ sounds, but out of 20 or so voices I programmed, only 2 or 3 sound any good...and the programming process is EXTREMELY tedious!!!
Well, no more...the Micro-B II SCREAMS!!!
It's got overdrive, key click, percussion, leslie/vibrato/chorus effects (that's all organ talk).
What I've lost is my volume pedal function; I also want to be able to vary the rotatation rate on the leslie/rotor effect via the MOD wheel on the DX7; being able to speed up/slow down the rotating speaker effect is one of the classic B3 sounds. Guess I'll learn some MORE about MIDI.
As you can see in the pic, there's a "slow/fast" switch for the rotor effect; however if I'm playing a full, two-fisted chord, I can't press the button! (maybe I could do it with my nose )
And for inspiration I picked up Jimmy Smith's "Root Down" and " Brother Jack McDuff LIVE!!!"

Yabbut, Andy, can you get Robben's tone out of that thing? Can you make it sound like a Dumble? Does using the Zendrive make you want to sell all of your other pedals on ebay?

Well, no.
But I can sound a bit like Rosoce Beck.
But with my new toy, hopefully I won't suffer from "Liberace Syndrome."
Someone (probably Jerry Lee Lewis) once said of Liberace, "He's pretty good on the piano...but he sucks on the organ!"
