Won't Get Fooled Again synth sound

I'm not a keyboard player, so take it easy!

This is just my attempt at getting the Won't Get Fooled Again sound, using whatever I have lying around.

**EDIT** Hey, for anyone wanting an authentic Won't Get Fooled Again backing track (using an actual Lowry organ, like Pete Townshend!!)

There's Baba O'Riley and a buncha other stuff :) And well worth it, too!

what are the values?please i cant get the sound, great video pretty close to the original

I can't remember the precise settings. Just make sure that the two right-hand knobs on the tremolo are turned all the way over to the right. The leftmost knob then has to be fiddled with, to get the correct timing.

Aside from that, you've just got to ride the expression pedal up and down (on the resonance setting) which is really 50% of the sound.

how do u turn on the expersion pedal

it doesnt turn on

[Zebonka]

Push down a little harder on the top end. Don't jump on it - just push firmly until it turns on. I had that problem too.

[TacooGrill]

that sounds great! and you shouldn't be afraid of people trashing your keyboard playing skills, you're way better than me!

[Zebonka]

That's most kind!  I'd like to practice it a bit more and use it in a cover someday.

Could you make some Marimba Repeat demo video?

I just bought a vintage Lowrey organ at Goodwill. I thought I read something about it being the kind Pete used back when, so I got it. While I was dicking around with it I realized that just one button, "Marimba Repeat", could make the organ produce the effect heard on Baba O'Riley. I had always thought there was some synths involved, but I guess not! What a lucky find.

I used to play this intro on my guitar with my old ancient Boss effects box, which had a cracking delay on it.. plus adding a bit of Phaser..
