Jon Lord’s Whitesnake Organ Sound

Organs
A little nugget of Hammond information that I read recently is that during Jon Lord’s time in Whitesnake he used his heavily modified C3 fed into 4 Leslie cabs. These were fitted with Gauss 15 inch bass units and the rotating horns fitted with JBL 2440 compression drive units and powered by Amcron DC300A’s via an…

Overdrive update – More on dirty organ sounds

Organs
Now where was I? Ah yes, an update. Quite happy I was with the ART tube pre-amp and the level of Overdrive that I was achieving. All was fine. The niggle I had with it was twofold however, its big. There’s a lot of “stuff” going on there and I like the idea of a small,…

Autumn update – Percussive win

Organs
Just a mobile quickie; never underestimate how useful air is! I deposited half a can of the compressed stuff all around the percussion unit inside and out and guess what? The percussion now works a treat! Amongst the things I’m learning is always to have switch cleaner, compressed air and a soldering iron to hand.…

Hi Guys, Yes, what have I done? Well apart from moving house and being very tied up with other things not too much however I did accidentally buy a Hammond C3 and Leslie 122 to add to my growing Hammond collection. I say accidentally, I saw it on ebay as a project. The seller was not…

Hammond Roadshow

Organs
Morning, I had a nice afternoon on Saturday as the Hammond Organ road show pulled into my (ish) town. There were at a local Holiday Inn and had hired one of their conference rooms and basically setup most of their product range with Barrie and Malc in attendance. I go each year and its really…

Hello, There are a couple of items of news that need to be dealt with, the first being our first proper look at the new Burn Leslie Sim: http://youtu.be/MtCAJjECfnM On first glance its not too bad at all, the things I like are the tube OD in the right place, the flexibility in tone of…

A Message from Jacky Paice

Organs
It’s hard to believe that a whole year has passed since the death of Jon. In many ways the pain of losing him still feels so raw and so close but in other ways we breathe a little easier every day knowing that Jon has passed to a better place, free from the pain, the…
