No, not really close at all, assuming we're thinking about the same  
video.  It's an impressive effect and one he uses well, but not  
really much like an organ frankly.

"What is so extraordinary about this is not the effect, it's how he  
uses the effect."

I think that pretty much goes for all effects, as well as amps and  
the like.  When people just plug into an effect it is rarely very  
interesting--usually more harmonica plus this added thing.  It's when  
people (like Jason, Richard and Chris) take the time to actually  
learn to play the effect itself that it becomes something special.
