Hammond M3 question


Jode

Recommended Posts

Who knows the impedance rating for the onboard tube amp? I'm running a 1/4" out off the speaker wire, and I don't want to blow it up. Or, better yet, who can tell me what type resistor to solder in to bring it down to line level?

You might find an answer elsewhere faster. Try a google search ... I came up with http://www.hammondb3organ.com/ and http://www.hammondorgancenter.com/ which looks promising.

 

I bought a used M3 from a drummer I worked with and eventually sold it to a funeral home somewhere upstate NY. They got it for a song. I hadn't used it in ages and the generator was bone dry. Good luck.

No guitarists were harmed during the making of this message.

 

In general, harmonic complexity is inversely proportional to the ratio between chording and non-chording instruments.

If memory serves me well, you need a 200k resistor, followed by a 5k between signal and shield.

 

Never disconnect a speaker from a tube amp (unless power is off :D )

Hmmm, I've been meaning to get that book. Looks like I'll have to buy it now.... I want to tap the internal reverb amp of my A100 and feed its output thru my Marshall stack to occasionally get that Emerson/Lord crashing effect.

I used to think I was Libertarian. Until I saw their platform; now I know I'm no more Libertarian than I am RepubliCrat or neoCON or Liberal or Socialist.

 

This ain't no track meet; this is football.
