![]() ![]() ![]() Saved thousands of dollars istead of installing a Leslie in a large church installation. We also have installed one on a new digital Hammond organ with a custom cable that we made. We use them as an economical solution to providing a line out on many vintage Hammond Organs. Ditto for a reverb speaker.A great unit, easy to install, works great with the Neo Ventilator Leslie Simulator. If you disconnect the speaker in your organ, you will need to replace it with a load resistor to preserve the amplifier. Then pin 3 gets neutral, so your halfmoon switch switches neutral instead of hot. The smart way to do this is to make sure the organ has a polarized or three-prong plug, so it always goes in the outlet the same way. You can identify which is which with a voltmeter and some tests.įinally, wire up a half moon switch so that it can complete the circuit for the relay. One of them is "always hot", one of them is switched hot, one of them is neutral. ![]() Wire the two power pins to the power terminals under the metal box cover. Otherwise, jump the stationary and rotary signals together. If you have a reverb amp in your M3, wire the non-common reverb speaker signal to the station channel. Make sure the common wire is connected to ground. Wire the speaker signal to the rotary channel, both wires. I'd love to be able to add a connection box in the M3 that will pick up signal befre the Hammond amplifer, and run the appropriate Leslie cables directly to the Leslie amp.ĭoes anyone know of any info on doing something like this? Or - am I wasting time and energy on 'purity' that will be completely insignificant to the ultimate sound, and I should just do like everyone else and folow the wiki instructions? On my M3, a previous owner did the most ugly hack, simply splicing into the speaker wires. I'd rather see something that picks it up after the Hammond preamp, but before the power amplifier, and let the Leslie add any coloration.īut I've seen very little on making an actual Hammond 6-pin output. I know there are many threads on a basic line out, and I've seen this site: Generally, though, these solutions involve picking up the signal AFTER the Hammond amplifier - so we're taking amplified signal, trimming it down, just to re-amplify it in the Leslie. I have recently acquired a lovely M3 and am looking for the best line-out strategy. ![]()
