Does your Hammond have a line level output?  Both of my choppers did, and before I had an AMA, I used my Speakeasy Vintage Tube Preamp (Classic with Howler and Barker mods) at the ¼” output, and then fed my leslie from the preamp.  I could get bone crunching tone that way at moderate volumes.  With the AMA though, I can go full bore and get Jon Lord at a whisper through my leslie.   If your Hammond doesn’t have a line level ¼” output (it should), it’s an easy modification to do.

Get one of these...

Buy one as big as you can afford, the higher it's capacity, the longer it
will last being hammered by the amp. If it's a max 50watt unit you'll be
pushing the components pretty hard, if it's a 100 watt or greater the parts
will be "living the good life" and last a long time.

I thought while people were discussing the AMA, I'd ask the following
question. I have a B3 and a leslie 145. I can get the killer leslie growl at
ear killer levels in my music room. Is there anything that can be used in
between the B3 and a leslie that will give you the growl at lower
practice/late night levels? If not, I have a line out and could explore
other options like VB3 or the more expensive ventilator.
For rehearsing tunes that require heavy organ, it'd be nice not to have to
crank the leslie and kill my band mates. Although, the guitarist always
deserves that, right?
TIA,Brandon
