Farfisa Combo Compact Demo (SOLD!)

[StukInTexAss]

DAANG! Beautiful instrument. I have a gray-cover Combo Compact that I got for fifty bucks in 1988 when everyone wanted a Yamaha DX7 or at least a Korg. I'm curious, do you know the serial number of your red Farfisa? Mine is something like "00384". Quite possibly a very early one.(?)

By he way I don't play keyboard but I have been performing diatonic accordion for f**king 37 years!

To sort out the "Knee Lever" repetition:

3:55 : Knee Lever (for Multi-Tone Booster sharp tones injection)

4:27 : Reverb Tank (it's loosened in the video for playing but is tightened to the case for transportation)

4:56 : Reverb and Vibrato Switches (vib on/off, light/heavy & slow/fast, reverb on/off & med/long

5:54 : Bass Keys (with balance switches)

6:26 : Output Controls (bass volume & output jack, organ controls for bass, treble & volume)

Hope that helps!

I have one just like this. Same color. Unfortunately it needs work. Haven't tried to turn it on since probably back in the 80's. I'd love to get it refurbished and back in playing order. It was my first electronic organ. Played quite a few gigs using it with my garage band it back in the 60's.

[JanEgbersNL]

does it have a built-in speaker or do you have to use an amp?

[nanalunamusicas]

Nice sounding instrument.

[runforresturn816]

How in the hell do you power these things on?

I just rescued one from a very old neighbor's garage.

I don't see anywhere a power cord plugs in.

I see the output jack on the back next to the fuse but nowhere for a power cord.

Please help.

[craigdamage]

....nevermind,I figured out how to open the bottom panel where the cable and power supply is located with the stand.

[filthyandanonymous]

great vid, super informative, thanks for leaving it up.

[giomm]

super cool video...great organ !! ;-)

[snowmanstreetteam]

this is boring.

[slickluw88]

how much notes can you play in a cord on the farfisa

[picure]

It has unlimited polyphony.

[codenamehiddenmeadow]

polyphony is a digital limitation, this is a different era.

[mardoqueo1986]

voices?

[Modulation909]

aucun interet de jouer la gamme chromatique pour partager les sonoriter du clavier...dommage

[slickluw88]

can you use a new keybord amp for that or do you have to use the orginal amp

[picure]

You can use any kind of amp you like. Also, you dont really need the original foot pedal for it to be functional. If you dont have a volume pedal, its volume stays on max, unlike Gibson organs, if you dont have the pedal, the volume is practically off.

Thanks alot

[slickluw88]

thanks that relly help

[Kitschead]
