So I just got this organ set up in my room. I’m hooked up to 2 speakers. All seems to work. When I plugged up the pedals, and press a stop it works, but it sounds like a key is being pressed elsewhere while playing the pedal. And idk how to make it stop. Could it be an electrical issue ? This organ is also running off of an amplifier as well. Thanks for the help.

Welcome to the Forum! I hope you continue to participate for a while to come.
It is not uncommon for an Allen to lose a caster when moving it. Alternately, if you have it set up on carpet or a rug, it could have sunk into the pile, and the pedals, being lighter will sound with nothing being played. Either the caster loss OR the carpet can cause the same issue.
To diagnose, turn the organ on, chose a single pedal stop, and attempt to find which pitch is being sounded (8' or 4' stops are easier to hear accurately). Generally, it will be a note at either extremity of the pedalboard. Just be aware that an Allen pedalboard can cipher (a note sticks on) at either end of the pedalboard. The board can cipher if it is either too high OR too low.
Hope that helps, and I look forwarded to hearing if this has solved your problem.

Very cool, Paula Anna. This personal Allen organ business is getting increasingly common. (I guess everybody should have one!)

Welcome the forum Paula.
Although you clearly have the organ at home, the 'Home Organ' section is intended for the entertainment style organs, like Yamaha, Lowrey etc - the ones with all the bells and whistles. So I've moved the thread into the correct section where it will get more views and replies.It's not what you play. It's not how you play. It's the fact that you're playing that counts.
