A closer shot of the pedal clavier.

A closer shot of the pedal clavier.(Jim Corrigan)


James' 1962 Hammond A-100 complete with pedal clavier. Hammond.jpg Make no mistake - it's the real thing! A closer shot of the pedal clavier. Hammond Mods 001.jpg Changed the manual Leslie speed switch to a foot switch. Hammond Mods 002.jpg A chunk of pressure-treated 4"x4",suitably cut and notched, then stained cherry mahogany... 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. 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!
