In that case, I think I would replace the 5-pin connector on the AO39 with a
6-pin one, and use that. Just be sure you LABEL this connector, "Leslie 147
ONLY"! You can buy the 6147 kit from several on-line sources, or you could
build your own. The stock hook-up for a 147 / A-100 combination is to take
signal from the AO39 outputs (speaker leads). The console load selector on
the 147 amp must be set to 8 ohms! You only get Reverb through the organ
speakers.
If you move the reverb amp connection to the AO-39, rather than off the
back of the speaker (5 minute job with wire
cutters, soldering iron, and a couple of wire staples) it may make
alternate connections easier.
Yes, it may, but you still won't get Reverb to the Leslie. BTW, I'm still a
bit confused about the possibility of running Reverb out to the Leslie. The
Reverb amp takes its signal from the AO39 speaker leads. If you were to
connect the speaker leads from BOTH amps, wouldn't that produce some, shall
we say undesirable results?
Does a 6147 come with any kind of switches (I know not half-moon, are they
the dinky under-the-keyboard switches) ? I'm > thinking of getting the
TrekII switch kit that replaces a cheek block and rolling my own hook-up.
I don't believe the kit comes with switches. You have the option of the
cheekblock ones, original half-moons, the dinky white toggle under the
manual ones, or the new imitation half-moon ones.
I wanted to supply the signal to the Leslie directly from the G
terminals on the A-100's AO28 pre-amp.
I was wondering about this ... thinking I'd maybe have to wire a line-out
adapter like in BITB to connect a 147 to the AO-28. The Hammond FAQ made
the
comment that a Leslie going through an internal amp may not sound as good
as
coming direct off the preamp - and yes, this hook-up is with amp-less
consoles as well (not that I'm looking, but if someone dropped a B-3 on my
doorstep...) To disable the internal speakers I'd have to use load
resistors
off the back of the AO-39 and NOT use the ones in the 147.
Well, if you went that way (like a chop or semi-portable set-up for gigging,
and you just wanted the Leslie) you would just disable the AO39 completely,
speakers and all. You could then just take signal from only ONE G terminal,
and the signal ground (Brown wire) from the AO28.
