All user reviews for the Hammond G37

Wow is all I can say about this amp. Specifically voiced for the guitar, this amp produces some of the coolest most authentic leslie tones for the modern world.

What is unique about this amp compared to the old Leslie speaker cab is that the drivers for the amp are designed specifically for the guitar instrument. There isn't a phaser or leslie pedal that can emulate the authenticity of this cabinet.

This amp sounds fantastic with any guitar you throw at it. Whether that be a Fender Stratocaster or a Gibson Les Paul the vintage rotating speaker tones are so chimey and surreal. The high gain channel of the amp is very nice and smooth as well. Not really a high gain amp per se but a distorted Leslie tone that is very usable in the recording studio.

This amp is very great and extremely usable in a recording booth. At new these amps come in at around $1500, which might be a little high for a lot of people. Especially since this is a unique and particular type of tone you need to be sure this is the sound you are going for.

I would recommend this to anyone who has an old Leslie that they wan to to preserve or someone who owns a studio who would like to get a new sounding pure Leslie amp.
