*** The Electro 1 was released in 2001 with the first organ model (the g1). This model has been improved over the years, with added functions and a better emulation of the original tonewheel organ, first in the Stage (g2) with added transistor models (Farfisa and Vox), then in C1 (g3) with added bass part and improved rotary emulation. The Electro 3 has the latest generation of our digital organ emulation (g4), albeit without the bass functionality of the C1.
