Yes, but isn't that supposed to be with no drawbars out and second armonic?

Percussion volume appears to be next. I suggested using the 9th drawbar and bagging the background noise feature, which is on the 9th drawbar now. Tuning is on first and second drawbars.

That's the sound I have been using for a long time, going back to the VK8m. It is Interesting to see Joey using it A LOT. I knew he would come around. It's a classic Jimmy Smith sound.
