«  Nice Hamonosaure »

Published on 05/21/14 at 06:19
It's old and the connection is very limited.
Jacks Hi / Lo + send / return + a jack for pedals. The power cable can not be detached.
Leslie simulation incorporated, 9 drawbars, 3 presets + 1 preset "pulls"
Leslie buttons on / off + hi / lo
2-band EQ, overdrive volume, volume and length of percussion keyclicks volume. Tuner knob for intonation.

For my needs, the main (and shouting) lack is the reverb.

UTILIZATION

Inevitably very intuitive.

Zippers plastoc are VERY fragile, I prefer not to change mid-song.

(I myself have no desire to make glissando with palms or fingers back :)).

SOUNDS

The sound is nothing great compared to current models.
Sound mat, the "emasculated" as an organist told me.
But he marries quite well with a live rock band.

Leslie is drinkable but nothing more. I use a Korg G4 pedal instead.

The overdrive is fair at best and the max gain is very small (it is light years ahead of Jon Lord). Again I prefer to combine overdrive G4.

In my context I use almost exclusively the preset "full" and sometimes the preset "pulls". I have no use for the other 2 presets more typical jazz.

OVERALL OPINION

Nice small Hammond.
I bought it for nonchalance as he was almost free and then it was fun to have a dinosaur painted wood.

But finally I use for all my concert (only certain songs, I mainly use my XP80). Like what ...
I love the expression on the faces of the technicians when they see me coming with the tree trunk under his arm.


It is ideal for my limited needs: textures / agreements
Do solos on this thing is a bit difficult for me

I regret the absence of reverb and sustain pedal (yes I know the true either blah Hammond)
