Authentic Sampling Captures Every Nuance

The Wurlybird 140B was created by meticulously sampling keyboardist Tom Hammer's impeccably maintained 1964 Wurlitzer 140B. Each key and reed was captured to deliver the instrument's full range of tone and expression. Subtle randomization of release triggers and pedal sounds provides a realistic playing experience. Adjust background hum and "clunk" levels to your liking for a customizable vintage vibe. This deep sampling gives you the real sound and soul of Hammer's prized 140B.

Shape Your Tone With Modeled Controls

The original 140B's preamp, vibrato and hum have been expertly modeled to provide tone-shaping tools. Dial in the preamp's warmth and overdrive to get the amount of grit you want. Control the 140B's signature vibrato effect with Rate and Intensity knobs. Add adjustable hum for extra authenticity. These modeled controls let you craft your own take on the classic Wurly sound.

Effects Expand Your Creative Potential
