Subject:Straight up, No Leslie [ was Lord's Recipe?]

I remember reading that someone else ran their Hammond directly into a
Marshall type amp to accent the keyclick - perhaps Keith Emerson?

I was wondering how many other Hammond players didn't use a Leslie. I
remember my L100 had a speaker built in and I never liked the tone but I
guess it's been recorded that way by someone.
