"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)

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.(nsoveiko)
