Ehx pitchfork came UPS early..checked it out with guitar and blues band $5.00 harmonica...cannot get over how it altered the actual tone of the harp and came out after fooling with the mix knob came out an organ tone.. i mean it's really really like an organ ..tracks chords, octaves and tongue blocks...you have to own one I imagine to be amazed by it...still experimenting..gotta go..will answer questions....different routings with di box and impedance transformer makes some difference...green bullet with cm element OK but 545 shure ultimate is seemingly better..

I wonder if they're reusing some of the circuitry in the B9 pedal here? I've been wanting an easy organ sound device and have been considering the B9 but it's big and expensive. Looking forward to a demo of this...

I don't know,if electroharmonix made the b&c9 maybe it is the same..I watched video demos on most pitchshifter types including the organ machines...I heard that the b&c9 they only track after certain frequencies, certain pitches or too low too high.So I was leary about it..Demo the pedal first at a music store you frequent using your amp and microphone first...

I experimented with the B9 for 2 weeks. Worked best with key of A and lower. Key of C and higher harps didn't work well. On all the harps I would get an unpleasant drone sound that would continue to annoy until you stopped playing. I tried it on three different amps with no noticeable improvement. I sent it back for refund less shipping. Probably good for guitar, but very limited with harp IMO.

I do like the price point but would love a you tube demo for the pedal- in fact someone should do a lot of different demos on pedal types for harmonica. From reverb on up. They would get a lot of views

I picked up a Pitchfork used locally from a guitar player. It tracks really well on low and high keys, on single notes, octave splits and chords. Chords especially sound full. I've got it set to one octave above and one below, and it gives me a very robust skating rink/baseball field organ sound. I wish I could get closer to a B3 sound, though. I was excited to see some harp demos of the B9 pedal, but it's too bad what orphan said about higher keys.
If anyone has suggestions on how to set the shift for something closer to a B3, I'd love to hear it. As it is, though, it works well and I doubt anyone would be able to tell that it's a harmonica sound (except maybe another harp player). It will stay on my board for now.

OK, now I've added a rotary sim and some reverb and it sounds pretty good. Still not like a B3 exactly, but definitely funkier with the rotating speaker sound.
