Thanks again Dave for the info, I see that G to G should be putting
out 3.5V peak to peak according to one online source, which sounds
pretty hot.

My rig is a little complicated. The mackie 1202VLZ has an alt 3-4
output bus via a "mute" button on a channel strip.
My Kurzweil outputs to the 1-2 bus and goes to mackie 450's.
Hammond will go out on the 3-4 bus which feeds a 910 frankenlesie
(biamped, SS for lows, tube for highs). The idea would be to push the
mute button (switches between bus 1-2 and bus 3-4) to get a straight
sound or a leslie sound.

I've found that Leslie braked is not as clear as the pair of 450's, at
least in my bastardized leslie. Plus going thru the mixer lets me
experiment with insert effects (hammond wah-wah?) in the more
conventional 1/4" format and have the option to route those thru
either output stage.
