Convincing !
Turning the sound of a guitar into an organ! - Something I've always liked the idea of! - The POG2 was my first attempt to achieve this, but only gave one approximation (well, that's all I managed) and was a very church pipe organ kind of sound. There are at least a couple of online demos of the C9, but if you look closely, there appear to be many cuts and edits, which suggest that even the "Experts" are making many mistakes and overdubs. There also appear to be only a few reviews here, made some months ago. Therefore I expected this to be rather tricky (even difficult) to use. The Thomann sound samples are encouraging though, and having a mix of guitar and organ sounds more usable. Some of the other reviews suggest that this is more of a "Fun" pedal, rather than a "Must have". I waited over a year to see if more users came along, but the price just went up recently (damn!). A more expensive "Fun" pedal? - Perhaps! - The actual sound this produces is VERY convincing, even more so because I follow it with plenty of reverb. It probably all comes down to your expectation and how you intend(ed) to use it. If you play rhythm chords, it works brilliantly with mostly dry sound and just a bit of organ underneath. Being fully polyphonic, it captures every note of every chord and it's as if the band just gained an invisible keyboard player. If you want keyboard organ to be up front and leading, then you need a keyboard player. The C9 produces very familiar sounds which can fit in with the rest of the band, so long as it is not your main up front requirement. I find it to be very easy to use (my expectations weren't high), so long as I remember I'm playing guitar. It is NOT a true bypass pedal - This is stated in the manual. I've had to get another true bypass switch pedal.

Heaven is a box
They have done it again. Electro harmonix don't fail to disappoint me. This little fun box creates ORGAN SOUNDS!!! I expected it to be good but not quite this good. When I first started playing the pedal I thought I was in a church. These is so many cool sounds to be made on this box. The flute option is also great. It can really change any band setting and song choices are unstoppable with this box. It may seem a bit expensive for the money but I couldn't wait for a sale. I looked up a few videos and had to buy it. It is made very strong like all electro harmonix pedals. With 4 knobs and a toggle switch, the pedal is so easy to use. In the box you can mark in presets that you like so you don't forget them. They have ticked all the boxes with this pedal. Great product and should be on every pedal board.

Top quality kit
The excellent build quality you would expect from EHX.
With my loop station, this pedal has transformed my solo performances without the need for all the faff (and expense) associated with a guitar synth.
In summary - you need one of these in your life.

This little box is great, I haven't had so much fun with a stomp box in ages. I'm still going through all those cliched classic organ pieces (Deep Purple, the Doors, Moody Blues, Telstar etc), eventually I'll start using it for some serious stuff. The really good news is you can get rid of that pesky keyboard player...highly recommended

Awesome organ machine!
I'm using it with bass. It's not so good as for guitar, but still you can get quite awesome organ sound! I use it mainly during intros and harmonies with guitars. In most of settings there is enough bass so I don't use dry signal at all.
Another cool thing is that separate dry output gives you possibility to split signals to have even more options!
