If you where to be true to the original concept there would be no tweaks. A
Hammond B3 comes as is. Of course you can recallibrate the TG if you know
what you do but bascially you have to live with what you get.
Most Hammond A/B/C/BC/BV/CV/B3/A100 sound good within a certain span.
My Hammond BC clicks tons. But a very nice quality of tons. The click
amplitude is about 50% of the sine wave amplitude. The A100 i measured the
other day clicks a lot less and almost has the exact same click behaviour
as the C2d when I check the wave forms.

My suggestion to Nord C2d users is - Set the leakies model (V3). Set the
keyclick to high or higher (in a band situation the higher keycklick gives
you more rytmic definition)
Set distorsion aroun 11:00

Then all you do is to adjust the EQ depending on the room.

Anything else is done by adjusting the drawbars.

Forget the fact that you have a menu - play the instrument on its merits -
that is what you have to do a B3.

This way you will focus on the music and less on chasing that elusive
prefect sound that we believe we would have if we only had the real "thing".

The more your mind is focused on "what could be" when you play the less
mental power you have to put into the music. And the music and personal
energy is what the audience hears and feels.
