Re: [hammond_zone] hooking up a-100 to 47leslie


Ron Bell
 

: To hook a 147 type Leslie to an AO-28 you use one of the G terminals and
the brown ground terminal.

As for the difference betrween the AO-28 vs AO-39 hookups. The AO-28 hookup
will give you the classic "B-3" sound.
The AO-39 will give you a sound with more bass, the AO-39 rolls-off the
treble so it sounds bassier. Both sound very good, some prefer one and some
the other.

I have hooked up my A-100 both ways and prefer the AO-28 hookup for rock,
and the AO-39 hookup for jazz {it make the left hand bass real beefy!!}.

Cheers,
Ron Bell.
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.

The AO-39 hookup looks easier to do, if I'm gonna do it myself I may try
that
first and see if I'm satisfied with the results before I do any more.
