You got a point there. I also am a guitar player. And indeed nothing beats my fender twin especially a hifi amp. Bu what should i buy then? There were people on the zone that by replacing the 760 amp with a tube amp you could have a real nice sounding leslie. What amp is meant here? Gandert ----- Original Message -----
From: Chris Clifton To: hammond_zone@... Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 9:04 PM Subject: Re: [hammond_zone] leslie 760 amp Gandert, Design philosophy of a Hi-Fi amp is that it should have no "sound" of it's own, i.e. should neither add to or remove anything from the original signal, just amplify "transparently". On the other hand the designer of a musical instrument amp does not have to restrict himself to building a design that has an absolutely flat frequency response and as near zero distortion as possible. Bumps and troughs in the frequency response may actually be desirable if the end result complements the instrument and produces a pleasing overall sound. Similarly distortion is not always an evil to be removed at any cost, the right type of distortion adds character and warmth to the sound of an organ or electric guitar, but would be unacceptable in a music reproduction system. I know my electric guitar sounds terrible played through a Hi-Fi system, I suspect Hammond organ would also. Chris Clifton There is a theory which states that if anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
