Versatile Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Great posts...!! Some iconic sounds emanating therefrom.... I have a 'rotary' setting on my multi-fx which puts me in mind of the Leslie effect And many digital keyboards have 'digital drawbars' to emulate the Hammond sound Nowadays Joey de Francesco is doing terrific stuff....

eallenb Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 GREAT POST The Hammond Tone Organs are marvels of engineering. I have an 1964 era "A series" which I call a B3 on Steroids as it has the amplifier built into the cabinet. I do not have a Leslie as seen in the video ....Yet ! The reason I call them marvels is my A102 has lost a couple of the frequencies produced by the "Tone Wheels" and assorted electrical components. I have spent the last year and a half trying to repair the issues from studying the schematics, reading web sites devoted to these marvels changing capacitors to pulling the whole tone wheel module etc, It is fun and interesting to say the least. Plus I have actually made improvements to the overall sound it produces. I haven't been able to improve on the design not at all just improved on the sound it originally was intended to produce. It is a great project plus being a keyboardist, to me, the Hammond sound is the "holy grail" of organ sounds. All other brands try to imitate this classic design. Even Hammond themselves only imitate that great sound now. It reminds me of a car dealer trying to sell a luxury car and trying to convince you to buy his brand by saying "It rides just like a Cadillac" Nothing sounds like a "Tone Wheel Hammond" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantha Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Very cool! Love the sound of Hammonds. I never cease to be amazed when I see a Leslie work... I'm not sure why either. It's a fairly simple concept, but it's just cool to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzoboy Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Grear thread-thanks for posting.I could've gotten a '58 B-5 also known as the "Baby B-3" last year for just $100 but the missus had a shitfit when she saw the size of it and didn't want it in the house.Some day though I'm determined to get me a Hammond.BTW I already use a Leslie Model 16 cabinet for guitar and it sounds fabulous.

BigKahune Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 .... BTW I already use a Leslie Model 16 cabinet for guitar and it sounds fabulous. There's some pedals that emulate the Leslie speaker - http://www.google.com/#pq=guitar+pedal+rotary+effect&hl=en&cp=28&gs_id=v&xhr=t&q=guitar+pedal+rotary+speaker+effect&pf=p&sclient=psy-ab&source=hp&pbx=1&oq=guitar+pedal+rotary+speaker+effect&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=ebaa3ff8b466872e&biw=1768&bih=1019 - I really like the effect for some music, so I've got one.

daveinspain Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I love the Hammond organ sound. I USED TO BE A KEYBOARD TECH IN MY ROADIE DAYS and worked on Hommond Organs, but mostly on another model called the M 100.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
