(Tried this on Harp-l and I give it a shot here as well.)

On the off chance that somebody with gear knowledge has got Sue Foleys "Big city blues" CD, from several years back, 1995 I think it was: On the song "My baby´s sweeter" (that was called "Your baby ain´t sweet like mine" when LW did it?) the harp has some kind of chorus, giving it a reasonably credible organ, or digestible accordion, sound. What could this be?

Any chorus expert on the list? If so and you´re up to it I could probably mail you the tune. My thinking is this: "a good effect pedal from 1995 should be dirt cheap by 2012!" -- but that could be wrong by miles.
I´m interested in getting something organ sounding, and I´m sure there´s lovely gadgets out there but sadly I can´t put up any serious money -- in fact, can hardly put up any money at all. And maybe the stuff from the 90´s has now antiquarian value?

Cheers,
Martin

Hi Martin
Although I confess that I have not heard the Sue Foley recording, my guess would be a Korg G4 pedal, 'Rotary Speaker Simulator'. I use one for guitar mainly but it works great for harp, especially as you can adjust the sound as you play with the various foot switches.

And, probably needless to say, it can be used to play in stereo if you have two amps. I acquired mine fifteen years ago from a keyborad player and he soon regretted selling it. I think you'll find one on the web and maybe there's a demo video or two around as well.

I hope this helps!
