Subject:Re: Vent + VB3 (Was: Stuff for sale)

yeah raff, that's what impresses me that gregg didn't have any gizmos going on.

bec back in san diego during the 90's, a ham tech came to my house to fix my B3 told me he was over at greggs one time trying to fix a monster leslie that buzzed like crazy. point being gregg did experiment. but if he used a rental in SA then seeing him way out here do the same, proves that the guy just knows how to run a stock hammond.

Hey Goff,

You're right , probably the same in Abraxas show held in BUenos Aires, 1973.

All B3 and relatives were usually in bad shape with poor maintenancce of Leslies as swell.

So it came that "Oye como va" was too realistic ! played by Carlos, Gregg Rollie and crew by the time as Chepito Arias was in drums.

AFAIK when Steve Winwood played Gimme some lovin' at Spencer Davis didn't even use a B3 but a M3.

Those old good times eh ?

Best

Rafael

growl' sound of songs like Gimme Some Lovin' (Spencer Davis) and Easy Livin'(Uriah Heep) is really hard to nail. Another example is Smith's
"Baby It's You." That held note just before the ending has this,
"If you don't stop that, I'm going to die!" sound, and I can't
duplicate it on a Vent -- or any other sim, or even some real
Leslies. Not that the end result sounds any worse than say, the
same artists might have hit in concert back in the day; it's just
not a perfect copy of the vintage recording.
Also keep in mind that modifications and road wear probably add
to the mystery. Gregg Rolie has mentioned in several interviews
that the Leslie used on the Abraxas album was in really bad
shape. There's no easy way to clone a Leslie that's about to blow
up! ;-)>>

i saw gregg a few years ago, talking with him after the gig, using a
stock rental leslie and he still got his signature tone. and i saw how
he did it. but admittedly not as over driven as on his albums.

perhaps the way to get the gimme some tone is not thru the sim or vent but thru the clone overdrive itself. granting it will be hit and miss. a balance of both.
