   Dave Stewart made the distorted organ into a trademark. My favorite of his work is on the Khan album, though he uses it through his work with Egg, Hatfield, and National Health.

	You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

	Dan Wright of Proto-Kaw would feed his organ through a wah pedal. I've tried this out myself and managed some really cool results.

	Instruments other than the guitar that use effects that are traditionally reserved for the guitar, like fuzz, guitar amps, volume and wah pedal. If you want to use bass guitar as examples that's fine also. The bass intro to Black Sabbath "NIB" sounds like a bass guitar through wah pedal The Beatles "Savoy Truffle" which is one heavily distorted production features a wall of sax sound heavily distorted or fuzzed. King Crimson "21st Century Schizoid Man", I think also has distorted sax, fuzz bass and vocals The Beatles would put pianos and harmoniums through their Vox guitar amps "Penny Lane" especially the feedback at the end is from a piano through a guitar amp and "Birthday with tremolo effects John Cale would put guitar strings on his viola and you hear it on songs like "Venus In Furs" or the screeching sound that you hear on "Heroin"
