Hey, if you ever went to someone&#8217;s home and they had one of those &#8216;ol cheezy home organs, then you&#8217;d have a good idea as well! The Moog Taurus pedal looks exactly like the pedals at the bottom of these organs.

Bands that have or had them in their musical arsenal are bands like RUSH, YES, Pink Floyd, the Police and many other rock, fusion and metal performers from yesterday, right up to the present day scene!<\/p>\n<p>The thing that got me thinking of this was while playing with CounterPoint the other night. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/chrisnotoband\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"ext-link\">Chris Noto<\/a>, the best bass player that I have ever had the privilege of playing with, brought it up while taking a break. He said his brother has one and that he&#8217;d love to get it from him if he could, and believe you me, this guy REALLY knows what he is talking about. The way this guy plays the bass, if he had one of these things, it would sound like he is playing 3 instruments at once!
