Dan,
Once you hit bottom, you can only bounce up. With your skill set and street smarts I"m sure this will pass quickly.

You may want to research those Jared Gold pedals. I have no experience personally, but some players I"ve had contact with are not thrilled with his support or assembly quality.

FWIW here"s a demo I made with the Lester K and my Yamaha Reface YC. Bottom line is it"s way superior to the built in. I also have a backup NE2-61 and the Lester does work wonders over the built in as well.

"BVW 478" received from mightyB3 and posted.
This is a J. S. Back piece. Technically, submissions are supposed to be original...but I'm thinking this is okay because of the synth interpretation - the whole thing was done on a Moog One.

That S.O.B. half brother J.S. Back has been coasting on his famous other brother"s rep for eons. He will litigate the pants off you, so be wary.........

Being a retired music teacher myself I can identify with this girl's anguish during this pandemic.

I"m about 40% through editing velocities and dynamics on my Beat Buddy SD card, and it"s actually beginning to sound like a human player. I"m sure it will be looking for beer breaks and a girlfriend to shack up with..........

That"s an unforgivable loss.

Charlie Earland wasn't a great player, but he surrounded himself with great sidemen and picked popular tunes. "More today than Yesterday" is a staple. LIsten to Groove Holmes "Misty" and "Halleluijah I love her so". Joey D. has tons of arrangements you can find on YouTube. Almost any standard can be Hammonized to your taste. Get comfortable with the rig first, and there's no limit to what you'll find adaptable to trio or big band jazz. My favorite influence was Wild Bill Davis who preceded James Oscar Smith and got the nickname by imitating big bands. Look up his You Tube with Duke Ellington's big band for "Satin Doll" As if a Hammond and a big band weren't enough, the final choruses by Cat Anderson (especially on the 70th Birthday album) were truly legendary.
Every song on a Hammond is good for the soul.

Having always loved armor, and having a son who works for the DOD designing weapons, I kill a lot of time (and other things) playing World Of Tanks. Massive multiplayer, 15 on a team, and basically capture the flag. Love my M18 Hellcat and SkorpionG

I've considered getting a YC but the terrible C/V always keeps me from clicking "buy."
Try a Lester K with a YC - you won't need the chorus/vibrato.

I own all the reface models except the DX. I have an ancient FB-01 that I turn on every 6 months or so, play for about 10 seconds, then tell myself 'That"s enough'. Not a fan of FM.

Curious- do you foot pedalers mostly rely on muscle memory? Knowing, for example, how far to move your foot to get to a 5th (or other) interval from where you are? Or is it more a matter of positioning yourself on the bench the same way and knowing, with confidence, where each individual pedal is? I don't hear too many clams from people playing pedals so I assume most have a good degree of confidence.
I line up exactly over the middle "C" on the pedals, and make sure my right foot is all the way to the right edge of the expression pedal so I don't collide with it when reaching for an Eb with the left. I basically feel after that but almost always heel the naturals and toe the accidentals, and my pedals look like hell from middle C down, so I obviously don't do much classical playing, and really suck on an AGO 32 board.

At first glance I thought this was about the Electromotive Division of General Motors (EMD), and couldn't figure out what the tie in was.
I'll watch it later.
Thanks for the link.

I can't believe how bad the resolution is on a 9 year old video, so I did another. Hopefully this will illustrate my pedal technique more clearly. I do tend to play naturals with my heel and accidentals with the toe, but that's not ironclad.
Here's the latest effort:

Another thing that helps a lot is substituting flatted 5ths in your bass line to keep the sound moving. Most people play a ii-V-I as Dm7-G7-C. Think about how much foot travel that involves. I use Dm7-Db9-C which means I have 100% sound going on through those changes merely by rocking my foot. Also, don't always insist on playing the root on the 1st beat. Keeping the bass line moving is more important that correct notes. Think like a bassist and you'll get the idea faster.

FWIW, I shot this 9 years ago when I got my PK 27/s for my C1. Again, no sustain, but the heel and toe does make it sound like a fingered Hammond bass than an oom=pah tuba.

I saw this on a recent trip to B.J"s Wholesale Club and decided to take a chance on it since for the foreseeable future my outdoor concerts will be limited to my patio. Rather than drag my QSC's or Yorkville amps outside I thought this would work well, since it is iPX5 category waterproof and contains a rechargeable battery.
It contains a 100 watt power amp, and drives an 8" woofer and a 1" tweeter. Dimensions are roughly 19"X19"X11", and weighs about 28 lbs. A small pair of caster wheels are mounted on the back edge and a pull up handle helps to drag it over smooth surfaces, but with it's weight being so minimal it's easy to two hand carry.
Some silly stuff is included like a Clock/Alarm function, a jazzy lightbar that can "pulse" to the music or be turned off, and a cheezy mic and 1/4" cable is also in the box. It can charge Qi compatible devices using the top plate and there is a 5 volt USB port for traditional charging. Bluetooth range is stated at 100' and an AM/FM radio with 5 presets is inside.
After letting the battery charge up to full on the indicator (which took about 5 hours) I ran my iPad mini 5 and IK Multimedia' B3X through it using a simple 3.5mm mini cable. While it's not going to win any sound pressure level awards, the tone was pretty accurate and it did not distort at reasonable levels. I then turned on the Bass Boost feature and that returned a fuller and deeper sound, again without honking or distorting. I then used a 1/4" adapter and ran it into the mic input which has it's own independent volume pot and got a louder sound. I then tried a Bluetooth connection and found that sound to be equal to the 3.5mm direct.
I wouldn't set it down in a puddle, but the waterproof rating and the heavy rubber covers over the charging and audio ports indicate that an occasional splash wouldn't kill this device.

Overall I am pleased with my return on investment. B.J.'s has it on sale for $20.00 USD off , so for about $120.00 I should get a lot of enjoyment out of it. And if the time comes when I'm playing live music again, a wedding ceremony on a beach, or an outdoor cocktail hour would be easily accomplished. The build is quite sturdy and it's not offensive in basic black - as long as I leave the light bar off.
