Thanks and agree!

Thanks brother I really appreciate it!

Thank you very much!

That’s only 4 boards out of 22..! Thanks for listening my friend

Beautiful!

I only have one b3 and my thinks it’s to big and in the way in our living room 😢

😂

Thanks for listening Wes, appreciate it!

Thanks much Don! I’ve worked very hard at making it less digital and as authentic as possible. The 2 12AX7 tubes really help!

@@KyleWhitlock-Music Yep!!! Tubes make a amazing difference. I ran concert sound for years (decades). Nobody could figure out why the vocals sounded so warm and rich with me running the board. I had (still have at the home studio) an old 1950's tube compressor on the vocal subgroup. Was re-painted [why?] with no lettering [why?], but by the design of it I'm pretty sure it's Orban. Didn't use it for much compression... just had it in-line on the insert chain to warm everything up with the tubes. Have an Orban 526A [the best one] Dynamic Sibilance Controller (de-esser) first, then the compressor. When I was running sound, these were in a separate rack and hidden from view. Don't (didn't) want to give the secrets away!!! I also have an Orban 245F [the best one] Stereo Synthesizer on the direct out for the guitar channel, then back in on the aux returns. All of these are the old blue face units, and of course all are analog. Orban is ultra high end television and radio studio equipment. Most people don't like their equipment because it's usually hard-wire instead of plug-in (meant to spend years in a rack). Their Optimod is something else for FM stations. There was a country station in Toledo Ohio and another in Detroit Michigan that had the same national program on at night. The difference between the two stations was like stereo and mono. Huge difference!!! You can still get Orban equipment on Ebay and other used markets... they are many times the price of new equipment, but worth it! BTW... I sent this video to a friend that plays keyboards. My memo was... this is why you suck on keyboards. You don't have enough of them!!! Subbed and will be checking out all of your videos.......

@@donf3877 yes and if you are a collector (me) you can never ever have enough keys. I’ve loved following the technology that each of my keyboards has since the mid 70’s. Never fail to be amazed.

@@KyleWhitlock-Music There are just SO MANY different keyboard manufacturers that had great products... but went belly up. Some, like Farfisa... for a reason. Oops... hope you don't like them, to me they sounded dreadful. Like they were trying to imitate everyone else at the exact same time. But, it could have been the guy setting it up and playing it, too. I'm still trying to figure out what organ Steve Winwood was playing back in the early days on a video off KZfaq, "Spencer Davis Group Finnish TV 1967 Live". I don't think it was a Hammond, because it had big flip up down levers like a Lowrey or pipe organ. But yet, it seemed to have sliders on the far left side. But the switch over was hard and instant with a flip of a lever, instead of like pulling the drawbars out on a Hammond. Also, don't think it was running through a Leslie. More like a built-in tremolo, as it was also instant instead of winding up and down. Probably running through a guitar amp because it was pretty distorted. BUT YET... it had the Hammond growl. Have your heard of, or seen any of, Lachy Doley's videos??? He's out of Australia. He totally abuses his B3......... but, he also has a Hohnor Clavinet that has been modified with this big four foot or longer WHAMMY BAR that sticks out of the top of it. More like what would be on a guitar. And, he uses it that way. He plays a version of Voodoo Child on it that's absolutely mind blowing. (you could probably do the same thing with the pitch control on a synth... it just looks more impressive with him banging on that bar :) It's great to chat with someone that loves the tech, and is just as knowledgeable, as he is with his playing. Instead of like Odd Ball in Kelly's Heroes, "Hey man...I only ride 'em... I don't know what make 'em work"!!!

@@donf3877 love Lachy’s stuff!! Very envious😊 HELL of a player. I remember seeing George Duke play the whammy bar trick on the clavinet years ago. That is definitely the closest a keyboard instrument will ever come to sounding like a real electric guitar. Going now to search for that Spencer Davis video you mentioned

Thanks brother really appreciate it!

Yes!! There’s nothing on this earth that sounds like or feels the same as a real Hammond! I have an original A100 and Leslie and 3 other Hammond Suzuki digital organs that are fantastic.

Thanks for listening Steven!!

No Doubt!

😊And thanks so much Stefan!! Glad you liked my stuff. Good luck on returning to playing the Hammond organ! If I might ask which part of the world are you from?

@@KyleWhitlock-Music I live in Sweden. I listen to soulmusic, Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross, James Ingram, Peabo Bryson, Ray Charles, Anita Baker amongst others, also slow blues that has alot of hammond organ in the songs. And finally i listen to smooth jazz, Brian Culbertson, Gregg Karukas and so on.

Thanks for watching Rob!! Cheers

Thanks

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for listening 🙏

Yea, Night Train was a standard back then. Not that I frequented any of those bars err musical establishments.

Thank you! Cheers!

Hey thanks for listening -much obliged!

I already did just that. Once is just not enough.

Thanks for listening Terrell!!

Thanks so much!

Neo systems Ventilator 2. Love it! I also use a Lounsberry Tall & Fat pedal thru the effects section on the Hammond.

Thank you buddy!! I’m playing an XK3c through a Neo Ventilator 2 Leslie emulator pedal. I believe I used the C3 setting. I’m using Jim Alfredson’s tone wheel set with a slight modification of my own to the Chorus settings. After I recorded this video I added a Lounsberry Tall Fat & Wide pedal for extra preamp oomph

@@KyleWhitlock-Music I have an original Vent; it’s presently connected to my previous clone, a Nord C1. I mean to put the XK5 through it soon. What it did for the Nord was amazing; my guess (HOPE) is that it does even more for the XK5...!

@@TheOrganiston9th that’s exciting and the in the XK5 demos I’ve listened to the onboard Leslie simulator sounded incredibly good

All the more reason for me to like this tune!
