>I concur with this statement 100%. When I listened to the Defrancesco
recording with Joe Doggs, it was immediately apparent that the leslie was
too HiFi. The key click was too toppy and the full organ was too shrill.
Probably due to the HS HF driver that no one seems to like.

I seem to recall That OF has one of those drivers and had said that it was brighter but find for venues where you need to be heard- and that with his C 3 the appropriate thing was to turn the doghouse trimmer in a bit for smaller venues.

Or - How about not pulling all the high drawbars all the way out!

I wonder if thats what yhose 8 numbere are there for.

A few have put a resitor accross the terminals to trim.

I' running a pair and did retry an old but good driver and back to the new hard to blow up one.
YMMV

deal with the internal leslie on the XK3 ..... it doesn't seem to roll of at
a low enough frequency.

Yeah I guess I shouldn't have traded the upright coffin for the 22!
Shucks!
