I am very pleasantly surprised at how good this pedal sounds. The organ sounds are prominent and unmistakable. Excellent tracking. I'm not sure how many voices can sound at the same time (aka polyphony), but it is definitely in the ballpark of organ chord sounds. There was a learning curve for me. I re-looked at the demos on youTube and made some notes on knob positions. Also, it was a little bit of a struggle using it with my high gain amplifier. Even with modest gain on the amp, the C9 would overdrive my amp when the volume (Organ knob) was too high. A cleaner amp wouldn't have this issue, most likely. All of these issues I mention are very minor, and I'll probably keep this pedal forever. Definitely 5 stars.

PROS: It is sturdy, easy to use, provides an accompanying organ to your guitar playing. CONS: It has 9 settings, and they all sound basically alike. It is a one trick pony. And some of the settings, while basically the same, sound thin/fake. A bit pricey in my opinion. There are two or three of the nine that are useful enough.

Take a little time with it, and you will be amazed by the realistic tones you will get. Lots of flexibility of sound. The docs hold a lot of clues as to where the subtle changes to your sound can be. Tracks well, responds well to your picking. A little practice goes a long way. I use mine into a Neo Instruments Ventilator II, and I love it. Been a guitar player for a million years, but when I fired this up at a rehearsal, you should have seen the jaws drop! Shop around; these can be had relatively cheaply. Even eBay has quite a range of costs for these. Recommended highly!

If you can't justify a full-time keyboard player or just plain don't want one but need a keyboard every once in a while this is the box for you. I've been looking for an organ "emulator" for several years but until the C9 (the B9 didn't have what I was looking for) came around about the only thing available was a very expensive synthesizer system that attaches directly to an electric guitar. Even with the expense it would've meant, in addition to my acoustic guitars and an ukulele, I'd have more gear to cart around. Then I found the C9 and an "I need money" deal on eBay and took it. I use the C9 for a couple of Marley songs my band performs and can foresee a lot more fun in the future. I've tried the C9 on electric and acoustic guitars and a solid body electric ukulele and it works great with all of them. The ability to run a dry guitar output directly to an amp or PA or through an effects loop makes for some interesting options while pulling your organ sounds at the same time. Read full review

Electro Harmonix is a name brand that has a reputation of producing state of the art products. This effects box is truly very versatile in that it produces wide range of sounds which mimic that of a keyboard. The setting that I personally enjoy is that of Jon Lord - of Deep Purple which is the Leslie organ with its oscillating tune. I would definitely recommend this effects box to any guitarist whose seeking to expand their musical horizons
