Max overdrive

My friend asked me how much overdrive can I get with my Hammond. Well, this is maximum overdrive with this combination of equipment (Hammond P100, Leslie 760, MIG LR II). It's enough for me. For more overdriven sound I would really consider real tube amp (Marshall or tube Leslie).

Gdim=C#dim depends on what the bass tone is....

But hey man, great sound...I'd love to get that leslie modification! Too bad they are no longer in production, so I hear.

Can I buy your 760? ;-)

Hey! Thanks for you comment but IHMO Gdim ist'n the same as C#dim because C#dim = C#+E+G and Gdim=G+Bb+Db.

Who said that Leslie's are no more in production? :S

Hey dstuhne! VERY NICE playing!! Really sounds like Jon Lord - I love the part when you play Highway Star and when you bang the organ, hold that G chord down and then reduce the overdrive... :-) (can you remember the chord?? sounds like G dim)

One question: How do you control the overdrive without changing the volume of the organ? Do you have two extra pedals or how does it work with the MIG?

@MPCapricorn: Hey! Thanks for nice comment.

Chord? It was a moment of inspiration. :)) If I hear and remember right it is not G DIM. This is the chord that has more triller efect (#C, E, G, #A). The same chord that is used in Bach's Toccata. This solo (whole song) is very similar to Bach's music. At least to me. :)

When MIG is installed Leslie's Master Volume Control is used for adjusting the overdrive and Bass/Treble Gain Volume Controls are used to adjust the volume of Leslie speaker.

@dstuhne Hey, thank you very much for your help! I really like that chord, because it screams out of the Leslie like hell!

The fact is that I'm about to get a M100, and if I can afford, I would also like to have a Leslie 760. And then I would use the MIG, too. So did I get it right? You adjust the volume of the leslie with the Treble/Bass controls and the overdrive by the pedal of the P100? But if I turn the volume down on the P100, the Leslie would become softer too?!

@MPCapricorn

Yes,it really screams like hell.:)

No, you didn't get it right 100%. Yes you control the amount of overdrive with the volume pedal (when you are playing). But how hard would you overdrive sound when pedal on Hammond is pressed all the way down it depends on how did you set the MASTER VOLUME on your Leslie.
