A while back I took guitar lessons from a guy that had an old model A
in the back room. After lessons he'd show me some tricks on the thing.
He was largely responsible for my obsession with hammonds.
I had the chance to hear him at a blues festival last weekend, and I
couldn't see the stage to well. His hammond sounded great though, and
from where I was, with cases and amps in the way it looked like a
chopped B. When I had a chance to talk to him, he was packing up an
old analog Cx 3. I was shocked, I usually can spot a clone. Since I
also have an old analog CX, I wondered why his sounded so much better.
He told me he played around a lot with how to amplify it, and runs it
through a little fender tube amp, using the onboard leslie sim, and
that seemed to bring it alive. He also told me to lay off the second
drawbar, on the CX for some reason it makes it awefully shrill. I
tried it at home, he seems to be right so far.
But yes, those old things can fool you, they aren't hammonds, but they
have their own sound.
