Roland Clan Forums

Hi folks,

I bought an Roland EV-5 pedal and want to use it for the amount of distortion and volume both for playing the intro part of Deep Purples song "Lazy" - surely John Lord uses a guitar amp to get this sound, but perhaps with the FA-08 it's possible to get near this?!

BTW: is it worth it buying the DB-1 controller? New to the organ thing but as we want to play more Deep Purple songs it maybe helpfull?!

Thx
Moehre

Hello! I have a fa06.
I think, unfortunately, that all organsounds are awful in just fa series. Has been long and feuding with getting a good Perfect Strangers sound but have to use my Korg krome or Nord electro for That :( not an answer for your question but its my opion to organs on FA

Hello

Just a curiosity: are you playing around with the virtual drawbars or only using preset organs?

At the moment I am using the virtual drawbars for testing, but for a gig the DB-1 would be helpfull I think ;)

Maybe you would also consider a Leslie simulator like the Ventilator (Neo) to go for Deep Purple songs. If the SN-A tone wheel clone is somehow good, the FX could be not bad enough for Leslie effects on the FA (blessedly, I have a NE3...).

Thx for this hint, will have a look at the ventilator!

I have also heard of an effect called "burn"
