Lachy Doley - My Hammond Organ and Leslie Speaker SETUP in depth

Музыка

I get so many questions about my Hammond Organ and Leslie Speaker setup ( Rig Rundown ) that I've finally made a detailed video showing exactly how it all works. Any questions.... please let me know in the comments.
If you would like to support the making of these videos at all. Here is my VIRTUAL TIP JAR

    Great run through on your rig! Not sure how you are getting the awesome overdrive (Jon Lord-ish) sound? Are you running though an overdrive pedal somewhere in the mix?? I am on a 1967 B3 with a 122 and get awesome sound - but I don't think I can get that overdrive sound without running through a Marshall or an overdrive pedal?? Thoughts?

    Yeah it's all in the TREK 2 UC-1A Leslie preamp pedal. It produces a louder output signal than the usual Leslie kits which are installed most Hammonds. This loud output will start to distort the 147/122 style valve Leslies. The more you feed the Leslie the more it will distort and nothing beats that Valve Leslie Distortion.

    that's another thing our keyboard player (who had a B3 back then) always wondered about. Obviously it can't be done without some kind of overdrive unit or pedal of some kind. Great example is "Heavy Church" off of one of 3 Dog Night's albums (I think the album with them all set up in a drained in-ground swimming pool...great album cover). Very over-driven organ, but it definitely works, tone-wise.

    @@bluarcher5941 Generally, a good Hammond tech should be able to fine-tune a Hammond/Leslie combo so that it would deliver a great (overdriven) tone without having to deal with additional devices. After all, the original tube preamp of a well-maintained B3 will provide a signal that is easily strong enough to push a tube-amp driven Leslie for a nice overdriven tone. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't dare mess with what's already there and buy all sorts of things to get it right. However, adding a simple line-out jack to an old Hammond is always a good thing. With that, one can basically build a pedal board with all sorts of things in addition to a Leslie preamp pedal like the TrekII UC-1A.

    Great playing! I also had a Trek two combo preamp which I had a friend install a second foot switch to stop the rotors. Also I think the pedal and output control allows one to bring distortion to the tubes /valves, with out maxing out speaker load as is the case with the standard Leslie kit. Keeps you from damaging drivers and speakers and still play LOUD!

    Super rig and run-down and brilliant tone, Lachy. We used an M100 + 147 (wood) with volume/swell pedal - combo amp escapes me. Two Leslie hand switches, one mounted on the front of the lower manual, other on the side, plus one on the floor by left foot. This was for studio work. OTR, a Korg BX3, old Leslie 145, as Hammond was too darn heavy doing the stairs. I was running a 9-10 piece soul band touring UK...

    Great overview. Lots of Hammond techs take a line out from one phase of the AO 28 preamp balanced output like this, but for anyone looking to “line out” one of these another approach is to take the G-G and a ground connection through a matching transformer to go balanced-unbalanced. That seems to get the best signal out of the organ for me (found the tip on one of the tech forums). Another way to protect the transformer if you can’t get a gold top rectifier is to fuse the primary AND secondary windings. Great work Lachy, hope to see a gig soon!

    Thanks for this presentation, Lachy! Interesting to see what you are using. After a long brake of at least 10 years, I took on playing again when the pandemic started. I have a poor man's organ, the Roland VK-7, which been with me for 20+ years already. Still happy about the weight being only 15 kg. A few months ago I got a good deal on a VK-77, which has the same engine, but two manuals, more options and actually sounds better for some strange reason (thought I imagined it, but my band mates tell me the same). Still only using the internal sim, but now been thinking that at some point a Leslie would be great to add to that, since it would bring the sound to a whole new level. The VK-7/77 has a built in 11-pin connection so I would not be needing the Trek 2 UC 1A pedal (depending on the Leslie model), but maybe it would be a good add-on - interesting anyway, because I was not aware of this pedal before. Thanks for the walk-through! I've been follow you for a while now, since the Glenn Hughes' Resonate album and at some point ordered a bunch of CDs directly from you! Keep it up! Hopefully you'll come to northern Europe to play some gigs soon!

    Hi Lachy, I really enjoyed your video, thanks a lot for showing us your Hammond gear! A guy called Kon Zissis (who, to my knowledge, lives in Melbourne) should be able to replace the oil waxpaper capacitors in your Hammond if you ever want to do that and even beef it up a little with his 12AX7-based EQ/overdrive. By coincidence, I'm also the proud owner of a '57 Hammond C3 and I just had the generator capacitors replaced. The dullness is completely gone. The organ sounds fresh, runs very quiet and it's much louder too - an overall improvement. IMHO, the entire waxpaper capacitor mysticism is utter nonsense - from a technical point of view anyway - and replacement can only be recommended as long as it's done by a technician who knows what he's doing.

    Hi Lachy, thanks! I think the 145s have a passive frequency crossover. It is amazing that you haven't yet blown the old Jensen treble driver! You could experiment with a bi-amping setup. I did this with my old 900. This can protect the treble drivers (yes, I use 2, with a 'Y' adapter), and an active crossover, to separate Bass and Treble amps to get maximum output from each range. But, I can get maximum efficiency, without stressing any of the drivers. I use two 15" woofers on a wedge baffle, over the lower rotor. Usually, bass drivers need 2 - 3 times the power of the treble drivers. Very inefficient! (As you can guess, I hate miking - because it destroys the reason for rotors, in the first place! Most of the sound still has to do with the drawbar settings. Just a thought. I very much enjoy your work! ❤ Yes, this will affect the sound of the Leslie. But, for me, it makes the sound more malleable, adaptable.

    You are a fantastic player of the Hammond organ. I hear a lot of the late great Jon Lord (Deep Purple) in your playing style and sound. Also you have a Hammond sound that is very similar to the great Lee Michaels (his early music). I am a Hammond player myself. I use a early 60s B3 with a 145 Leslie near me on stage and a pair of 760s on the back line. I also use the 760s in conjunction with my Marshall full stack when playing guitar. Love that totally unique guitar sound that I get. I hope to get a chance to see you perform when you get to the USA. Keep on rocking. Peace brother!

    Killer sound and chops. Come and tour the US, we're not in hyper lock down like OZ. I love your 145 (I have a shell that I'm going to rebuild....have all the twiddly bits and amp collected...), but I would recommend putting a cloth cover on the bass rotor. Uncovered, the motor is working harder in FAST mode...in my experience, it doesn't reach the same terminal speed w/o the cover.

    Saw you shred it up at Harmonie German Club this week - it was great to meet you! You've definitely inspired me to up my organ game a lot, so I'm researching like crazy - Im playing there next month, I'll try to sneak in a tribute if I can muster the skill for it by then, haha! Thanks for this video, it's really awesome to see the setup, I rarely get to see these beauties in person these days - organs are all digital now - they can sound pretty great but nothing beats the real thing. Keen to see you play again next time!

    thank you for your reply,the reason i changed all capacitors was that my organ was old and battered had been standing in a garage for fifteen years in a cold garage so it was corroded all over, then we got it going and cleaned up anyway,and things broke from time to time, then i finally decided to exchange every loose end,all tubes and risky capacitors,some capacitor broke once and i got and extra strange sound,now its more reliable and i got a more beefy sound all the grit and everything is better,love your playing hope we will see you in scandinavia sometime when the pandemi is over

    Nice setup! About those Leslie horn drivers.... over the years I went through quite a few JBL & EV high power drivers. Every time one of those blew I would always stick the stock Leslie driver back in. Finally I just stuck with the stock driver. I have never blown on e of those. Oh, BTW, I powered my Leslies with 50 watt Marshall heads, 120 watt Orange heads, or 100 watt Traynor heads. Yep, those stock drivers are beasts! Good to see you're doing well. Stay safe!

    Traynor... man does that bring back memories!!! Before I went in the AIr Farce late at 23 years old, I had a 100 watt Traynor with a 4 12" cabinet. The problem was... I also had a Sunn 100 watt with a 4 12" cabinet... and a Fender Six (a 6 10" speaker combo amp (can you say HEAVY!). Add to that a Gibson Hummingbird acoustic, a Gibson Byrdland electric, a Guild electric, a Rickenbacker electric, and about a zillion pedals. And to think I used to cart all that around for $25.00 a man... and all the drinks you could drink. Of course back then... I could drink $25.00 worth of drinks in one night :( Sold the Hummingbird to a friend's daughter back in 1976 when I went in for $200.00. I was an early 1960's... and is worth around $12,000 to $15,000 now, depending on condition. And considering she stores it in the velvet-lined hard shell case, I'm guessing it is in fantastic shape. If I had all that stuff now, I could sell it all and my retirement would be 300% better :(

    Very cool, thank you. Yeah, woofers (cone speakers) wear out and get sloppy. Interesting that the Leslie volume is maxed. In semi conductors the input (pre) is maxed. I might have to play with my tube amp and try upping the amp out. I can't believe how the vibrato has lasted through the beatings and moving. Cheers!

    That C3 is a lovely beast!!! Frequency converters are essential - I've got one in my '61 A100 chopper, and no matter where I play and whatever the power source: I'm in tune 😎 I did add a few things: an additional FX-loop that also allows me to crank up the signal in the AO28 preamp, to get that much beloved roar! But also a more powerful Atlas high end driver in my Leslie, as those old Jensens won't endure our style of playing for very long (you're lucky there mate! 🤣🤣🤣🤣) I simply love Hammond organs... I firmly believe that my A100 plays me as much as I play her, an absolutely visceral experience.

    ​@@michaelbauers8800 Well, Jon Lord used his C3 straight into a Marshall amp to get his level of distortion roughly to the same level as Ritchie Blackmore's. Which explains why you hardly hear that lovely Leslie 3D "whoosh" on earlier Deep Purple records 😉 Later on he still did that, but he also ran a lineout from a Marshall into a Leslie cab, and thát got him the tone you hear on, for instance, Perfect Strangers (1984). I've taken that particular tone as my goal, and since a Marshall lineout is basically just a tube preamp: that's what I built into my Hammond 😎👍

    Excellent video and thanks for posting! I have been a fan of your style from the first time I heard you play so hope your videos get out to every Hammond fan on planet earth. Your use of TREK II products is spot on and especially the OBL-2. We install OBL-2 units on all the B3's and C3's that we sell since it can add so much and at the same time take the strain off the speakers in the Leslie. Mainly we use the low pass output. I personally do not suggest running the Leslie on 11 and am amazed that your V-20 speaker has lasted so long. It's working for you so carry on, and you are the BEST, hard playing Hammond player around. (Maybe be on the lookout for a spare V-20?) Most V-21's would not handle the 11 setting. We have had to recone dozens of V-21's in the last year so I am hypersensitive about pushing them too hard. We have several 1957 B3's and some 1957 C3's in our store along with most of the other years as well. Something about a 1957 Hammond and a 1957 Chevy that speaks to the quality of what was manufactured in the USA in those days. LONG LIVE VINTAGE HAMMOND ORGANS (and the people that play and listen to them) Great Job!

    Hey Jim. Nice to see you on here :-) Yeah I think the Trek 2 products are great. Yeah I would love a few more V20's in my back pocket. My tech Geoff Williamson is always telling me off for running my Leslie so loud. Interesting you think V21's are not as strong. I had suspected that. I would love a 1957 B3. Not many B3's here in OZ. Probably less than 30. One day I hope to afford to get one shipped from the US.

    My ‘58 C3 had a lot of crosstalk, hum and was dull until I replaced all the tone generator, vibrato delay line and AO-28 caps. After that it was significantly quieter and much brighter, and essentially much more like it would have sounded fresh from the factory.
