Subject:Re: Need help finding a good preamp

He does nice work, although my tech HATED working on his stuff because there is no "real estate" inside the box because everything is jammed in. The organ served me well though. I ran my chopper into my Speakeasy preamp then into the leslie (my organ had a line out, which I believe is still standard) and the combination was killer. The Speakeasy helped sweeten the Trek II solid state pre.

If I may offer advice, I would have Numerous install a cycle regulator in the organ; if you do any festivals or outdoor gigs where power is supplied by generators (not the cheesy portables, but even the big diesel trailer versions) this will keep you in tune; I found out the hard way at a big festival when the lights went on....my organ dropped a half step and I kept looking at the guitarist "WTF are you doing?" LMAO! It took me 2 songs to realize he wasn't out, I was!

Thanks for the refereal to Numerous Complains Tony. I just got off
the phone with Richard and he quoted me some excellent prices on a
chop/leslie combo and I get the added benifit of no shipping charge
since I only live 100 miles from his place in Atlanta. He also claims
to have put together packages for a couple of my favorite players
(John Medeski or MMW and Neal Evans of Soulive). For a little more
than the price of a Hammond XK-3 (upper and lower manual), I can get
a chopped A-100 plus a leslie 145. Seems like a killer deal.
