- 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!!!
What a fantastic demo of the Vox models. Great work!! This should be in a museum along with the instruments...
Ray, is that you?!
He's hiding out in Queensland.
No! John Wayne.
the first one is clearly the best
It certainly hits a sweet spot.
Loudest
The Continental is the King of the VOX organs.
Such a legendary and badass sound!
Thanks for uploading. Love them all, used to have a Vox Jaguar myself. I would have liked to have seen your proposed documentary, because this turned out great. Viva Vox.
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
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.
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.
Buy a Nord Electro 3, 4, 5 OR 6, they are the cheapest, is the best similar Vox Continental sound that i have heard.
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?
@@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
@@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!
The sounds of ... 'Come on Baby Light my Fire' and 'House of he Rising Sun'... awesome
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!
yes~
Wow! Fabulous collection! Great playing!
ASTOUNDING VIDEO! YOU DESERVE A MEDAL! WONDERFUL ORGANS. MARVELOUS MUSIC.
...Sorry. I got a little carried away. Congratulations, man,congratulations!
We are expecting for some more excellent posts like this.
Peace!
Nice video !!!! Great organ collection!!!
Great comparison, enviable collection, excellent playing. Cheers!
Hi, the part at 3:49 is just something i did in the vid. It's nothing from the Doors.
Is it a song or did you make it, if you made it. Impressed I am I like it a lot
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!
you can also do most of the effects on a VOX of the 60s, too. you just need envelopes.
This is a beautiful comparisation, perfectly demonstrated. if only every video on youtube was like this. thank you
I wish they still made these beauts! Got too love the sound of a Vox always dreamed of owning one! :P
4:50 Best part of the video in my opinion
Wow, excellent demo. I like the Corinthian sound, it seems to have more bite. But all VOX just sound great, very unique sound. GREAT DEMO!!! VERY WELL DONE!
Excellent job.Very good demo, good sound,good variety...Great!
The Continental has such a great full range balance. The bass, while still quite boomy, doesn't overpower the higher notes when played together.
Thanks a lot for this one !!
I'm looking forward to the documentary you're planning to make.
Vlaamse groeten
thank you for doing this!!!!!! Great playing btw!
I loved your video, I like all of those transistor organs very much.
I had a Crumar Traveler 1.
GREAT...just an AMASING video....it really worth all of your time "and money" to get all off those together....i didn't dream that there was such a tone difference between VOX's models
Thank YOU: )
That Vox Jaguar sounds amazing... and dude, YOU ROCK!!
Most definitely, man. This guy is awesome! I am always gonna be a huge fan!
What a great clip. Your playing is very nice. I love the Doors. For the lower price, the Jaguar was a good value. I still love the Continental. Hammond SK series and Nord have Vox and Farfisa emulations.
Thomas Pick Humpable, clean it up.
I like the pink top Vox sounds the best… Big fan of vintage Vox instruments wish I had some to play…☮🔥
I was going to sell my Jaguar but I just can't. I love the sound of these VOX keys too much!
This video is incredible, thanks!
Can we all send the guy $20. Give me his name and I'll send a check.
I would put $50 in his brandy glass if he would do a demo of the Velvet Underground's 'Sister Ray'. I'm serious! Watch this space!
What a fun channel!
They all sound so cool.....I really dig that reverse black and white key look 🤓
awesome organs and very good playing!!!
Csodálatos Hangszer! ❤️🎶
That is really awesome! Nice organs there.
Awesome playing and sounds!
Great video and great playing !
I like the sound on the Corinthian. It's so bright it borders on harsh.
oh, thanks Peace frog I didn't know that. I guess ya learn something new every day. Thanks again for clearing that up!
Great clip and sounds, my favourite's the 1st one : Vox Continental - UK as I think it has a nice high acoustic lively tone. Thanks for making this and uploading it, regards.
very inspiring instruments. Great video!
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).
Awesome video man! Very interesting! Thank you for this great work. I WANT A VOX CONTINENTAL!!!!!!!
I just bought the VOX sound set for the Kronos, it sounds just like this demo, amazing!
best vox organ demo i've seen :)
The continental 300 (UK) Is my favorite! Sounds warm and classic!
Bitchin! This was incredibly informative!! As it turns out I really do prefer the sound of the jaguar and the Connie over the others. I have never heard them all side by side so I was never sure what was just my imagination or misremembering. Thanks for taking the time to do this!!
Slanky Jeez man, I was stoked to hear someone else talk like me then I realised I wrote this from my abandoned RUclips account 2 years ago.
Slanky/Diego: Now that's funny right there!
Amazing video! It is clear and it has no unnecessary talking. All of these organs sound lovely. I do prefer the Jaguar, and my last choice would be the Jennings J70. But it is a question of personal taste. Each person has it's own.
My God these instruments are in good condition, amazing!
An amazing instrument for it's day.
Defining sound of the 60's IMHO.
Wish you'd do another You Tube & play Light my fire.
congratulations for this video and this Vox organs. The sound that I like the most, is that of Continental. The sound seems more balanced...from what I hear via RUclips...
superb demo, thank you very much
I think the Jaguar actually sounds better than people give it credit for. It's not a Continental, but the uniqueness is kind of cool.
That Doors organ sound is so sweet.
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.
i like this guys feel
That is quite the collection
When the music's over, perfect
The first track is called A Little Game from the Doors In Concert CD1, and the second track is called Peace Frog, also by The Doors, from their Morrison Hotel album.
i love your job!
Such a beautiful instrument
The Doors for eternity ✨
Love love love love this sound
Very good demo and playing I found my self going back in time, for me the continental is the best sound
Wonderful stuff!!
Awesome! Thanks for this
Cheese all the way, nice playing and a nice demonstration of the differences. I cannot pick a favorite.
The best video on youtube
they all sound great - I could use any of them.
Awesome man i love it
you play amazing, thank you
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.
Thanks for the kind comment!
Well, the Corinthian actually has - nearly -the exact sound as the Jaguar. But in this video the microphone was a little closer to the amp when i recorded the Corinthian in comparison with the rest.
I think I like the sound on the pink one best
Hi, Light my fire, When the music is over, own creation.
I wish there had been Rheem, Gibson, Farfisa included for comparison and even the RMI. But very appreciative of this fellow's contribution. There is something off putting with the Corinthian.
John Poole
Haha! Well, thats a very great and enthusiastic comment, i like that! Thanks!
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)?
Anyway, thanks for making & posting this, great stuff !!!!
They're all in great condition too!
My favourite out of this lot is the original single manual vox continental. I've always wanted to play on one too.
@Brad Wolf- It is not Break On Through. I heard a demo of a VOX Continental plug in that sounded the same as that. It is called "Double Fun" I do not know who wrote it though.
To my ear, the first one sounds most "Doors-like."
Are you in vox heaven or something? This video really did it for me today thanks.
Nice Video man.
awesome. I want one of those (any of 'em) so bad!!
thnx this is really illustrative for the sound thnx
Hard to compare with the different output levels, but this a really great source. thanks!
Wow, you said that was your own creation at 3:49 ? That's amazing! If you made a record I would definitely buy it!
Thank you so much for this! I have a Italian Vox Continental that I bought when I was 13 years old and paid $19 a month payments on it to my older brother who bought it for me! So I am very prejudice. The best thing I ever did was keep it! Too bad I sold my original tube fender baseman amp! Has anyone ever played the Vox Continental through Leslie town cabinet?
Man that is GROOVY!!! Alright man!
Nice demo . The earlier ones sound brighter , rawer . The later double manuals sound smoother , more sophisticated .. I'd say which one is best depends upon what type of music you are playing .. Cheer's .
Wonderful!
of course... great choice of music for organ demos
great!!
I am a Vox Fanatic!
and doors of course!
what absolute freakin fun....got here by punching in differences between....wonderful...the last one I sold was to augie Meyers...my favorite from sir douglas quintet....now with bob Dylan.....thanks again ...paddy o furniture
I can't decide between the continental or the Jaguar. I'm in possession of an Italian continental right now :) . I can't even play piano but it sounds awesome!
It's very rare, there were about 500 built, and yes it would be great to hear it through the Gyrotone too!!
