000_0426.JPG "Beastly" modification. The Hammond's output is so "hot" that to properly wire it up for amp use you need a combination of a capacitor, resistors and a potentiometer to soften the juice going to the input.

"Beastly" modification. The Hammond's output is so "hot" that to properly wire it up for amp use you need a combination of a capacitor, resistors and a potentiometer to soften the juice going to the input. (Jim Corrigan)


James' 1962 Hammond A-100 complete with pedal clavier. Hammond Mods 003.jpg ...And "Voila!" a properly positioned foot switch that doesn't slide around nor interfere with the pedals. 000_0426.JPG "Beastly" modification. The Hammond's output is so "hot" that to properly wire it up for amp use you need a combination of a capacitor, resistors and a potentiometer to soften the juice going to the input. IMG_1026.JPG The ring modulator that James bought and built. It works... ...and it sounds *just* like Jon Lord's!! YESSSSS! Unfortunately, since the Leslie "reverb" mod, the signal is too hot, so we're in search of a solution. picture 002.jpg The re-fitted Ring Modulator with a new logarithmic pot for the Frequency Control, a new, "Mystery switch" (Treble/Bass toggle), and 3 coats of "'Rock 'n' Roll' black" BBQ paint because the Hammond is very hot now! picture 004.jpg A player's-eye view: Top Left - Ring Level Top Right - Straight Level Bottom Left - Ring Frequency Bottom Centre - Bass/Treble Toggle Bottom Right - Ring/Straight Toggle picture 003.jpg The Ring Modulator now sits very solidly and comfortably on the corner of the A-100 thanks to new feet. picture 001.jpg Ring Modulator hook-up between the Hammond and the Amp. Hammond Mods 001.jpg Rewiring to send reverb through the Leslie 147. Hammond Mods 002.jpg More wires - they go all over the place... Hammond Mods 003.jpg A new Leslie connection unit was installed. Hammond Mods 004.jpg Another new connector to get power to the unit. Hammond Mods 005.jpg A new speaker mode switch. This is not a Leslie speed switch. That is a foot switch still. Mixer 002.jpg The 8 lead Yamaha EM1800 Mixer sitting on the Road cabinet, which allows us to mic & mix the instruments & vocals. This, coupled with the Peavy JP5 PA speakers have made band life a lot easier!
