Hammond M3, with 1/4" Jack

This is my new Hammond M3. I added a 1/4" output. Will post some more pics soon when I get some effects pedals on it!

I thought I posted the title a while back, guess I didn't! It's the " Big Organ Trio", Mr. Mike Mangan, out of Califonia.

I have a 1/4 out on my L-102, but it's coming directly off of the speaker leads. But, the speakers are still hooked up whenever I turn it on. Should I be worried? (By the way, I got the organ this way. The 2nd owner put this on, and the 3rd owner put a new grounded cord in it.)

@iloverush123 Well, the speaker is taking up most of the load, however you are still running hot into your amp or whatever you are using for effects, etc. You need to get the trek II 1/4" output and install it. The difference is that you have a pot knob on the trek II to control how hot the signal is going to be. It's no wonder I haven't blown anything up the way I was doing it before in this video.

I'm a guitarist new to organs. This M3 sounds lovely. Although, I noticed when you switched on the power there was a noticeable hum coming from the speaker. Is this normal of analog organs? I know the new digital keyboards like the Nord Electro don't have any of that sort of thing. Are there methods of removing the hum from these older models? Rewiring? Grounding?

[nurseeroc]

@chrisrave Grounding is always an option, but it depends on how your organ is setup, and how you are getting signal. If you have a B3 and Leslie, and want to record it, put it in a sound proof room and mic it correctly. If you are live, eh, there will be a little of that regardless. if you are using line outputs, trek II, then at that point, its just like any other instrument. I don't use this setup in this video anymore. It was too dangerous. I installed the Trek II mod for a line out.

[nurseeroc]

This has since been modfied!!!! DO NOT USE THIS 1/4" setup!!!!! It will blow out your amp, or whatever you plug in to. I've since added a Trek II 1/4" output that controls the hot signal. I'm surprised I didn't blow up anything already!!!!!!! So anyway, video coming on that soon....

@nurseeroc The m3 utilizes an electromagnetic speaker made by Electro Voice. Separate wires go to the electromagnet brn n? green and black are the output

please spill the beans on the title of that awesome organ song playing during the intro, and nice job!

hey peter, you in Huntington Beach too? im off of Beach and Adams in Huntington Beach! i have a M-100 series, trying to add the 1/4 inch line out. Sounds like you now recommend buying the Trek II unit for 1/4 inch output then trying out your method in this video from over 2 years ago(i saw you craigslist ad). i also have the Boss-RT20 and would love to utilize it with my Hammond. what would be even cooler is to get my 11pin Leslie speaker to work with my M-111! im confused as to what to do

[iloverush123]

@nurseeroc I learned tube amps need loads the hard way. I blew up many a guitar amp. Thanks.

Awesome! I found one locally this weekend for 40 bucks! I can't play the thing well but I love the sound.
