Those long sticks under Organ Consoles aren’t the impenetrable wall they seem. They provide the thunder, they provide the push, they are the “crown” of the “King Of Instruments”. Even for the Jazzers and Gospel players who mostly execute their bass lines on the manuals, their feet are doing a dance on the Pedal Clavier. Sometimes reinforcing the bass while both hands are illuminating a harmony. Or often “Thumping” four-on-the-floor like a bass drum, propelling the groove and nailing it down. For a classical player or Hammond Pop aficionado, the Pedals are an essential element of any performance. If you already have a bass player, pedals aren’t there to replace them. It allows you to “have your bass player’s back” when he wants to step out and not have the bottom of your sound drop out. Kicking Pedals add an exclamation mark to any music you play, they’re the cherry on top of a final grand chord, and the foundation of the massive Hammond tone we all want to command.
Hammond players who play “console” organs like the vintage B-3, C-3 or A-100 are accustomed to the onboard 25 note pedalboard, but some find those pedal claviers heavy and bulky to move about. The 20-note XPK-200GL pedalboard provides a great alternative, with its “long stick” design. Connect it via MIDI and play the classic Bass Pedal sounds found onboard every modern Hammond. If you wish to use this pedalboard situated below an electric piano/other keyboard or even by itself, connect the XPK-200GL to an appropriate amp and use one of the 5 built-in sounds. Either way, you’ll get to the bottom of your bass needs!
