Markay Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 On FB tonight and an old Buffalo Musician friend posts about the influence the local group Raven had on all musicians at that time in that town. They'd relocated to NY City and settled into Steve Paul's Scene where they soon became the favorite band of young Jimmy Hendrix! This album was cut in 1967. The song "Lets Eat" is what made me want to play organ. Here's some overdrive tone you wont get with a pedal from Greg or anybody else. It is truly glorious, and the playing from Jimmy Calire (one of my greatest influences of all time) is just plain DEEP [video:youtube] That's territory into which Lachy Doley dives deep using a BK Butler Tube Driver pedal between his '57 C3 and Leslie 145.

Gary75 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Seems to be a bit of a dark art all this tube reconfiguration. I haven't tried looking into different configuration of Leslie/organ preamp tubes because I'm happy with a stock sound from a turned up 122. It would be interesting to collate some tube reconfigurations people have used in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mate stubb Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 The elephant in the room is Hammond preamp gain. Some organs are set clean and some are set hot and dirty. Everybody knows about the preamp gain trimmer hidden inside the swell box, right? Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesG Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Appreciate that - I was actually looking at a PDF of the 122 schematic while writing it, to be sure that my detail information was correct. Kind of ironic that you got the voltage regulator tube part number wrong then, eh?

MoodyBluesKeys Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Oops - that came from (somewhat foggy) memory. Looking at the schematic, it says 0C2. IIRC the difference is in the voltage, but long enough ago I don't remember the voltage on either. Somewhere in the various moves, my old RCA tube manual disappeared, GE one also.

Theo Verelst Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I clearly hear a number of things going on, besides that the sound intention isn't just driving the power tubes or getting a Blues licks right... 1) There's reverb in the sound, and it is used with/agains the played tones 2) there's room response, maybe mixed in with changing mixer settings 3) the master is clearly playing the sound, even with the obvious key timing, expression/volume pedal, as well as the interaction between the chords and the bass pedal output, which appears to come from a different spot in the stereo image T.
