RGS Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I have recently bought an XK1 and have been trying to get the B3 sound on Tom Petty's 'Refugee' song, but am not having a lot of luck on either the drawbars or if there are other parameters that need to be set such as reverb or cabinet type etc. Any advice on the settings to get that fabulous sound?

CEB Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 LOL! Google is cool .... I have no idea if this is right I do not play the song. Also I find there are characterisitc difference between organs, espcecially with the upper tone bars but here you go. http://www.drawbarsettings.com/songs.cfm?song=Refugee&artist=Tom%20Petty "It doesn't have to be difficult to be cool" - Mitch Towne "A great musician can bring tears to your eyes!!!

Dumeril Seven Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Its probably not perfectly accurate, but I start with 888800000, 3rd harmonic percussion on soft with a fast decay, no chorus/vibrato. I usually dial in a little 2 2/3' drawbar, usually around 3. I have a tiny bit of overdrive dialed in for just a little crunchiness, but nowhere near Deep Purple territory. For the intro, I have the Leslie on fast, ramp it down for the beginning of the verse and then up and down to push the energy of the tune in different directions throughout the song. I'll back off on the higher drawbars a little during the verses too, if the band is playing it right and bringing down the dynamics like they should.

RGS Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 Thanks a lot. I will dial it up and give it a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention that Google is your friend too, but... here you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm.... you're absolutely right... there are still some folks who are wasting their $12 a year on frivolities like triple vente half-latte half-grande frappamoccawokkachinos and stuff. Seriously, even if you only like one article per month, isn't that worth the buck a month? Anyway, yeah... there you have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
