B3-Keys Posted February 6, 2001 Share Posted February 6, 2001 I have recently acquired one of these Hammond clones from 1973. I was wondering if there are any other owners out there. Is there a source for parts and schemat data. Ace Tone became Roland sometime in the seventies, I beleive. Any information would be most appreciated. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my understanding as well - I knew they made amplifiers (I had one!), but I didn't know that they made an organ clone. Please tell us about it!!! How's it sound? http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3-Keys Posted February 6, 2001 Author Share Posted February 6, 2001 The GT-7 is a dual manual organ with an octave of foot pedals. There is a set of drawbars for each keyboard. The percusion options are more extensive than you will find on a hammond. There is a six pin leslie connection. The sound is very much like a Hammond B3. Ace Tone also made a series of combo organs in the sixties that sounded like a Farfisa or Vox. My first combo organ in 1967 was an Ace Tone Top 8.

Guest Posted February 6, 2001 Share Posted February 6, 2001 I know where there are 2 0f these. One is for sale for sure. The Other one I can find out about. The one for sale might have all the literature with it. Call Robert M Sides Music in Williamsport, PA 570-326-9450 and ask for Chris Bovard. He would know all about it. That organ is immaculate if they still have it. Also, they have a very nice old Hammond Porta B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
