You haven't heard one of Rasputina's cellos going through guitar-type 
processing equipment.

When I was playing professionally, I used to run the output of my 
Hammond organ through a guitar volume control pedal, then into an 
old-style wahwah pedal, then out to the amp. Combined with the 
flexibility of tone adjustment that the Hammond drawbars gave me, I had 
tones that were indistinguishable from an electric guitar.

And in terms of dynamic sound, a full pipe organ is far louder than any 
other instrument.
