Use Vintage B3 eects
Vintage B3 features a three-band equalizer, a reverberation eect, a pedal-controllable wah wah
eect, and a distortion eect that simulates the sound of an overdriven tube amplier. In
addition, the signal can be routed through the Leslie rotor speaker emulation.
The default eect signal ow is as follows: the organs signal runs through the Equalizer, Wah, and
Distortion eects. This treated signal is then fed into the Reverb, and nally passed to the Leslie
rotor eect.
Activate or bypass the eects
Do one of the following:
m Turn the Master switch on or o to enable or disable the entire Vintage B3 eects section.
m Use the On/O switches to independently enable or disable the Reverb, EQ, Wah, and
Distortion eects.
Change the routing of the EQ, Wah, and Distortion eects.
m Drag the name of each eect to create the signal ow you require.
EQ-Wah-Dist: This routing is perfect for a classic B3 patch—an equalized organ, plugged into a
wah pedal, amplied by an overdriven Leslie.
EQ-Dist-Wah: The sound of the overdrive changes if the input signal is being ltered, either
by the EQ or the Wah. Placing the EQ before the Distortion provides further sonic exibility.
Although the output signal of the Distortion eect always contains high frequency content,
this content can be suppressed by positioning the Wah as the nal eect in the chain.
Wah-Dist-EQ: If you want to create a screaming sound (achieved by distorting the Wah eect
output), you can minimize any harshness by choosing this routing.
Dist-EQ-Wah: Choose this routing to suppress the harsh overtones of extreme distortions with
two lters.
