Yiorgos,

Electro do have very low output level so you need the "Barker HG" option
with the Speakeasy "Classic" clone preamp to get a little "grind" and if you
want more "grind" you have to chose the "Howler" instead of "Classic" or if
you are like me who like every thing from clean to overdrive you have to
order a Classic with both "Barker HG" and "Howler" option switchable.

Subject: [CWSG] Speakeasy vs Hammond preamp

Hey gang,

I was hoping 'tonysounds' or someone else might be able to answer this
question for me. In a post to the NordElectro group, Tony said that he
finds the Electro, even running through a Speakeasy into a Leslie,
doesn't "grind" well and gives you more of a Greg Allman sound but
can't really achieve a good grind tone that you would hear, say, Jack
McDuff or Greg Rolie using. I'm assuming the same would go for any
clone running it's dry organ sound through a Speakeasy into a Leslie.

I've found that when I plug my Electro into my A-100's preamp going to
my Leslie, any tone, grind, etc. that I get out of my Hammond I can
get out of the Electro, so I'm a bit confused by Tony's post.
