The Combo B3 Tonewheels RE brings the classic American tonewheel organ to life with a neat, one-box device. Its large, well-spaced controls make it easy to adjust the paramaters with a mouse, or hook it up to your favourite controller through Reason’s Remote™.
Combo B3T Organ features
Combo B3T Organ models the features found on the B3/C3 organs:
- The original nine drawbars
- Standard Percussion console (On/Off, Volume, Decay and 3rd/2nd Harmonic selector), with an additional selector to enable the 1′ drawbar even with percussion enabled
- Percussion can be an authentic Polyphonic Legato playing style (held notes decay the percussion to silence until all notes released), or fully Polyphonic
- Ten internal presets provide the ability to create, and get quick access to, pre-programmed drawbar settings, with type-able labels
- Adjust a single preset live via mouse or via a Remote™ controller for spontaneous drawbar performance
- 6-mode Vibrato/Chorus scanner; add increasing levels of vibrato (V1-3) and vibrato/chorus (C1-3). Vibrato rate and chorus level can be adjusted via back panel controls
- Adjust the level of key off/on keyclick as required
- Select from two different keyclick tones, and between triggering the keyclick at note on, or at both note on and off
- Adjust the level of leakage (tonewheel crossover)
- Transpose up or down one octave, for easier dual manual control
- Control volume via your expression pedal
- Dual reverb: use a rich Hall reverb, or the classic mono F/AR spring convolution reverb from Combo Compact RE, both with wet control. Hall reverb additionally features hall size adjustment on the rear panel
- Tweakable rotary speaker emulator provides not just dual speaker rotaries such as the 145, but the flexibility to create single speaker rotaries such as the 125 or Vibratone, or you can match it with our enhanced modelled rotary speaker emulation in our effect device Psyclone Dual Rotary Speaker
