5.2. The Amp and Pedals
5.2.1. How this section works
The original Farfisa Combo Compact, like many organs, was often played through a guitar
amp and/or guitar effects to enhance its sound and provide a harder or more psychedelic
edge. The "floor" at the bottom of the Farfisa V window features five faithful re-creations of
vintage effect processors, followed by an emulation of an open-back tube amp.
When the effects and amp are all switched off, what you hear is the pure, unprocessed
output of the organ.
5.2.2. The Effect Pedals
When you click the "footswitch" of any of the effects they begin to process the sound. Active
effects are shown with red LEDs. You can swap the order of any of the effects, in order from
left to right, by clicking on their name text and choosing a new model to go into that slot.
When you do this, the pedals will swap positions. So if you swap an Overdrive for a Chorus
in slot 2, the Overdrive will take the position the Chorus pedal was just in.
All five pedals are always present in the pedalboard, though none of them has to be active.
There is no option to have an empty pedal slot.
All effects, the amp and swell pedal can be MIDI controlled by using
