Re: [hammond_zone] spinets
开云体育The RT, RT2, RT3 and D100 had 8 large tilting stops
and a volume control on the lower right hand side. This was for the pedal solo
voice (non tonewheel generated) It meant the cabinet was considerably longer
than the other models..could it be one of these?

Hey everyone,, i have a question. i play an organ at a bar downtown.. i dont
know what model it is... The cabinet looks like an a100, everything looks like an a 100 exccept for the keys don't end on the right side... there is a 6 inch gap or so between the last C and the end of the organ.... and on the right hand side of the bottom manual, there are 8 large black switches, that you can push in or out, i have never seen one like this and i'm wonderin if anyone knows what it could be thanks Dave |

Re: [hammond_zone] Hey, where is everybody?
Jimmy,
I just returned the book "Beauty of the B" to the library, but I vaguely remember them talking about turning up some variable resistors and replacing some capacitors. Something about you have to remove something so you can turn the resistor past the factory stops, or subing the factory part for a different value. So sounds like you already have an handle on getting to that sound. -- Jesus is my KIng. |

Re: [hammond_zone] spinets
First, let me introduce myself.
I joined this group just recently, hoping I may be able to help some people out with a few of their problems. I am not a player, I am a full time repairer based in London, not confined to Hammond. I work on most makes, and have been in the business for around thirty years. Tone generators in the spinets are smaller than the B & C models. Less notes generated, more borrowing or break-back (notes being repeated in the next higher octave). They also simply leave some keys silent on the upper pitches. This gives a sound that lacks the greater tone of the larger organs. Regards David Regards David |

Re: [hammond_zone] spinets
开云体育Hi Gandert
?
Nothing wrong with a nice spinet, maybe they are
not as versatile as a Console...but have a listen to Whiter Shade Of Pale by
Procul Harem....tell us if you think that Hammond sounds ok??and if you
dont already know, tell us what you think it was recorded on.

Best Wishes,

Re: [hammond_zone] Hey, where is everybody?

Hey Hammond Lovers,
Here's a question for all of you technically skilled and experienced Hammond folk....you know that big, phat distortion sound that makes a Hammond / Leslie sound so thick and dense? I mean like the early Santana recordings ( Greg Rolie on " Abraxas" , or perhaps Steppenwolf etc. ) you know what I mean. Do any of you know of a way to get that big distortion " on command " out of a B-3? My rig has a great tone and I CAN make it scream at high volume by cranking the Leslie and standing on it. Sounds great but is also pretty damn loud at that point mic'd up through a sound system. I'd love to find a way to switch into that mode instantly....to go to a rich distortion without substantially raising the overall volume output of the organ / Leslie. In-line " Tube screamer" or perhaps some other device? Goff professional suggested turning up the pre-amp level using the control on the swell box inside a small push in cap, removing the cap and turning the screw counter-clockwise. Haven't yet tried locating that but even then they said the control could not be moved to the endblock. So I'm still left with NOT being able to have this more distorted sound available to me instantaneously and at nominal volumes. If any of you kind folks have ever heard of such a customization done on a console Hammond I'd sure love to hear about it! I played a rented B-3 at a festival show a couple weeks ago and it was that rich distorted sound....problem is that's ALL it could do and I'd really like to have the option. Thanks for your thoughts on this and it's sure great to be in with such a friendly and happenin' group of Hammond people! Keep it spinnin', Jimmy Lange |

Re: [hammond_zone] ace tone(japan hammond?)
开云体育Hi
?
The Ace Tone was made by Bentley I believe, and was
distributed in the UK by Boosey And Hawkes, the same co. who dist.
Hammond.
?
It used old Hammond technolgy as far as I remember,
and was not, as many claim, identical to the Hammond X5.
?
I have a customer who was actively using one untill
he recently brought the XB1.

?
I believe you to be wrong regarding ACE TONE. My records shows
that ACE Tone was a japanees company that was taken over by
Hammond.

A transplant like this showed up around a year ago, and what appears to have happened in that case was this - They took the D-152 manuals/preamp/TG (which are identical to a B-3) and swapped them into the B-2 Cabinet, creating a faux B-3. The leftover B-2 guts went back into the D-152 case, and that's what you're looking at. Is the PSU (Pedal Solo Unit) still there? That would explain why all 32 tones still work using the Pads on the right side of the organ. If they work also using the 8' and 16' drawbars, then somebody actually went to the trouble to rewire the pedal harness to the B-2 generator, not a trivial task. I wouldn't pay more than $500 for a monster like this, and in most cases less. A D-152 case is really heavy, and wider than a C type cabinet by 9". Not a Gig organ! Add a trek ii, and you'd have a decent rig, but I'd leave it at home. HTH, pda Jax Fl. |

The ACE factory was bought by Hammond, and shortly after the X-5 was introduced by Hammond. It looks like the ACE GT-7 though inside the electronic is very different.

ace tone(japan hammond?)
Anybody ever hear of an ace tone portable? Have one, sounds like a
hammond and looks like a x-5? Most of the research that I have done on it tell's me it was made in Japan by hammond under this name.Any input from the group would be helpful.Also just bought a T-524 (I love playing spinets ,sorry not a purest)Want to custom this for the band I play in. Thanks Paul |

I went and looked at a D-152 for sale and it says D-152 on the wooden part of the console in the back but on the guts of the unit it says B2, and sure enough it is a B2 retrofitted into the D-152 console cabinet. Here's what I don't get, is that the B2 had 25 foot pedals but on this arrangement it has 32 pedals and they all work, something screwy here. Anyways I'm considering buying this outfitt and putting in a trek II percussion kit, any thoughts on this situation? A true Hammond lover that can't make up his mind. Dan -----Original Message-----
