Pretty cool, but I thought a lot of it fell into the "probably a lot of work to try and play the guitar in a way that playing a keyboard is easy". Like some of the guitar synth guys doing a good piano impersonation - wow, but why not just play the piano?
 
Having said that, the cathedral and Lord sounds really, really ruled.

Simples.  If you don't know how to play a piano, but you DO know how to play a guitar, well...

I gets that. But the thing is kb players don't play the same kind of voicings or the same phrasings and whatnot. So I would think you would end up having to spend so much time on that where you might as well just spend your time learning a kb where you don't have to jump through hoops.
 
Playing through a bass synth pedal can be cool for certain things, but if I want a synth bass sound it's much easier to just do it on a kb.

OH.. thanks. There wasn't anything I was really wanting... until now. I hope they aren't too expensive.

Initial pricing is under $300, so maybe they'll go down a bit after there's enough being made.

Crikey indeed!!! I'll have to check out other pedals I've been interested in but haven't tried out, POG and HOG, others like that.
This one is interesting though. I love the sound of a Hammond in a band.

Sweetwater has them for pre-sale, for 220.30
 
The video is SWEET... YES!!! I have been saving a 25.00 gift card someone gave me. It is from GC but I will get them to agree to match SWs price "out the door" and use my coupon! This pedal is a "must have", IMO. It will provide inspiration, I particularly like the blending of guitar and organ at the end of the demo. Heck, I like it ALL. I want it ALL and I want it NOW!!

I posted this article over on keyboard central forum, and of course it was torn apart,
 
I think it is a neat device, and dont feel it will replace a keyboard player.
 
The Attack is some what off, and I heard some seeking of pitch, but hey for 220 dollars!!!

looks like this thread's been edited and several posts were removed.  someone must have gotten offended.
 
anyway - it does sound pretty good, but I have to agree with Drew.  I think a guitarist will be spending a lot more time trying to learn voicings that a keyboardist would play on an organ than hemight want to spend.
