The "percussion boost mod" originated because the V3 did not provide the
6dB drop when full percussion is added, as the Hammond B-3 and its
brethren do. This would have been a difficult -- if not impossible --
aftermarket modification, so Voce choose instead to boost the percussion
volume by 6dB, restoring the percussion/drawbar balance, if not the
actual B-3 levels.

Many people -- myself, included -- thought that the percussion
modification would become part of the V3 design, but for some reason
that never happened. It would appear that whatever reasoning Voce used
remained in the V5.

Best regards,

Dear List,

Did the inquiry about the V5 percussion mod arise because it is "common
knowledge" that the V5 percussion needs boosting? I have wondered if it
was
my amplification that was making the percussion on my V5 seem less
pronounced
than I am used to.

To the writer wanting to replace his Peavey keyboard amp, I've heard
good
things about the Mackie powered monitor/keyboard amp. I haven't heard
it but
am going to look for it. The Roland KC-500 is worth a listen--it is
compact
and not too expensive.

I have setups that range from a basic 12 plus horn amp up to modular
monstrosities that incorporate 18" subwoofers! I choose what to use
depending on the gig. I'm still looking for a happy medium in a
ONE-PIECE
combo and am open to suggestions. Thanks to the writer with the
Yorkville; I
will try to give that a listen.

Thanks all.
