Hmmm... didn't notice that you couldn't adjust the pedal to bass split
point.

The reason why I didn't notice it was because when I have used it, I rarely
pull the lowest pedal drawbar beyond about 3 or 4 and mix it in with
the standard lower manual left hand bass setting, so for me the effect is
always subtle. There is just a bit of extra lows and growl with the lower
manual.

So middle C sounds slightly fatter but it sure wouldn't drive me
"absolutely insane".

By the way I think the pedal to lower is a nice benefit, and so have the
people who have played my Numa. A lot of people have put out some money to
get their tonewheel Hammond to do this, ala Chester Thompson.

So forgive me for defending the Numa again . I hope some new Key B stuff
is available soon for people who are pretty particular about these things.

As far as Joey being aware of it, I have been around him enough to bet that
he would probably just shrug it off. I would think that is he did use it,
it would also be subtle instead a of full out pedal effect.
