He rocked that Hammond man!  ONe of my favorites!

I remember buying the old Hammond bv, the forerunner to the
b3, doing the mod to make it a b3.  Then I bought a Leslie
tone cabinet.

THis Leslie had rebuilt guts thanks to a lightning strike,
isntead of the stock amp, a 120 watts per side into 8 ohms
QSC power amp, of course you still got that tube dirt from
the preamp in the organ.

When the guy and i were matching everything up he was kind
of freaked when I got down there with the diddle stick and
cranked the preamp from where he had it, so when I mashed
the volume pedal all the way down I'd get that jOhn Lord
dirt.  Great sound!!!


I got in worlds of deep trouble back in high school going to cHicago top see
those guys in 1972.  but man that concert
was worth every bit of it!
I think he got the volume with two leslie cabinets, all I
needed was that one, 15 inch jbl for the bass rotor, and
littel compression drivers in the high rotor.  Man that
thing would scream!  I miss it.


I can tell you how he got that big sound in the stdio even
with one tone cabinet though.

Put an eElectrovoice re20 on the low rotor, right up close.
Then, back off a bit with a pair of small diaphragm cardioid condensers in xy
pattern looking at it, nice room with
plenty of air, pull the xy pair back, crank it way up, don
your earplugs and prepare for takeoff!

I used to use a pair of Shure sm-81's for the pair.



Regards,
           Richard
