Vox | Continental / Jaguar / Corinthian / 300 / Jennings J70 organs

  • Опубликовано: 30 апр 2008
  • Finally a free day (Queensday) and some time too make a (very) short impression about the differences of sound in the Vox organ family.
    The (most) famous Continental, Jaguar, Corinthian, super continental, the 300 and the cousin Jennings J70.
    Unfortunately the Super Continental couldn't be part of the video, it's still on the working table.
    Ofcourse there is so much to show / hear in the differences, the effects, the individual drawbar changes, the presets, percussions, vibrato, reverb, bass, sustain etc. But this is to much to put in a video of max. 10 min.
    I might do some documentary thing in the future that will contain much more information. In meanwhile, enjoy these sounds!

    Takes me back to the 60's where our keyboard player had the Vox Continental and on certain numbers, it was put through a Wem Copycat! Great times we had then where nothing seemed to matter, we just loved being in a band with the music of the 60's and life was great!!!

    Cool Video! I appreciate the fact that somebody took the time to show the different tones of the different models of Vox combo organs. It definitely satisfied a long time curiosity I had. Thanks

  • @michael69040
    @michael69040 7 лет назад

    Wonderful- Each model delivers when the player is engaged. Even the more muted one could be eq'ed at the board.
    What a great era where the major manufacturers decided to cash in on the combo organ. The Doors, The Animals
    Kudos to this fellow who put this presentation together. Thank you. John Poole

    The classic Continental circuit is most flexible/warm sounding. The others sound either too tinny or churchy-over filtered except the jag which sounds great i think. The heathkit jag we had in here was a great sounding organ on some settings.

    • @Nazzz65
      @Nazzz65 7 лет назад +1

      I agree. It's all about the smaller 'Continental'. I just sold my (broken) VOX Jaguar last month for practically nothing. They can be really fragile. People tell me Nord is the best at mimicking a VOX or a nice dirty Farfisa sound. Since a Nord is all digital it doesn't weigh a whole lot either but I'm not a professional and a Nord is big bucks (for me anyway). For now I'm looking at a Yamaha Reface YC.

    • @snakeleon
      @snakeleon 5 лет назад

      Buy a Nord Electro 3, 4, 5 OR 6, they are the cheapest, is the best similar Vox Continental sound that i have heard.

    • @454cassul9
      @454cassul9 2 года назад

      The Continental really sounds most appropriate for this particular purpose. I'm wandering what kind of circuitry use all these? Are all these build around tubes, or the later ones use transistors/ICs?

    • @sounddoctorin
      @sounddoctorin 2 года назад +2

      @@454cassul9 all continentals use transistor flip flop with capacitors smoothing the transitions to form unique rounded saw/tri waves i guess is a good description.. the wurlitzer 7300 equiv. organ uses raw square wave generating flip flop chips. The us made cont, uses silicon instead of germanium in their redesign for similar result to uk and italian models but some claim to hear differences i think

    • @454cassul9
      @454cassul9 2 года назад

      @@sounddoctorin ha, interesting! So it generates sawtooth/triangle/square waveform, rounds the corners w/capacitors, for the output signal to be more sine-like, one rich of even, one of odd harmonics, and hence I guess the unique sounds they produce? I wish I could see a single note out the Continental on the scope already. The ICs you've mentioned, I guess some of the 74xx series (considering timeframe), or were they specialised? Thank you in advance!

    Each organ serves its purpose. Obviously the Vox Continental is the classic 60s pop/rock organ. The Jaguar and the Corinthian wasn’t too bad for pop-rock. The last three would be appropriate for jazz. Love the sound of these organs!

    This is truly the BEST demo of VOX on youtube, excellent job! btw, anyone with a Kronos can get these exact same sounds, 3rd party sounds will provide samples pretty much the exact same sound. I just bought a VOX sound set for my Korg, and to be honest, if my eyes were closed, I couldn't tell the difference between the sampled sounds and real thing. In fact, I dare to say the Kronos was actually much, much better because a) you can stack various settings, b) you can change the filter/EQ/compression, etc., and c) you can add fantastic effects including reverbs, echo's, chorus, flange, the sky is the limit. Wonderful demo! I just subscribed, I hope you do well, you deserve it!

    All of these Vox Organs have the ideal medium between church pipe organs and ballpark and arena drawbar organs in the way they sound! Obviously, for portability, I would prefer a single manual, but really, with all of the single manual keyboards out here, I would have to have the two manual (with a decent pedal board as well, preferably a full 32 note AGO pedalboard), but theirs was most likely more like Hammond's with 25 (or even less)? Yamaha did an excellent job of recreating these organ voices in their 60s and 70s organ voices in their portable keyboards (of which I have two, a 2005 YPT 200 and a 2013 YPT 330, which has velocity sensitivity and these aforementioned organ voices).

    In 1972 I bought a Continental 300H (made in Hastings, Sussex), and a Sharma Rotary cabinet. I had them adapted by a first class organ technician, and the sound was phenomenal! It sounded more like a Hammond/Leslie combo than a real Hammond/Leslie!
    I reluctantly sold the whole lot for £40 in 1987 - big regret. I'd love to know where they are now.

    They all sound great, To better gauge the difference in sound of the organs they should all be at the same volume level. I believe there is some inaccuracy in the sound differences of each organ that occur as a result of not having the volume at the same level for every organ.

    I've watched this 3 times in a row now... they're all good. I prefer the ones with the brighter sound, like the original Continental... but the more mellow ones are good too.. I guess I'm thinking in terms of playing live, with guitar, bass, drums.. and volume & tone could be adjusted, whether the organ would go thru an amp or the PA..
    Ever heard the first Moden Lovers album? Or The Velvet Underground's Sister Ray (John Cale on organ)?
