Spinnet chop, minimal sacrilege
OK, so I want a portable tonewheel Hammond chop with kick bootie low end, and tube amp and Leslie sound, more or less. Doesn't have to be just like a particular classic setup, but highly reminiscent. Distinctly Hammond/Leslie.
I'm already building a couple 12" sub boxes (to be driven by a couple solid state 200 watt amps), and a cheesewheel Leslie box to sit on top of them (rotating horizontally), with a modern high power full range 8 or 10 inch speaker, bi-amped and driven by something with tubes. I'd cross the Leslie in above about 200Hz.
Now I really don't want to chop one of my M3's, they are way too pretty to chop. Or my M100 series, if I can help it. These things need to be preserved for the next generation.
But I do have a somewhat beat up T-211 (it was free), and there are two more on Craigslist at the moment for $50 or less.
So the question is, if you are going to add a line out, and run it out to a tube guitar amp, would it matter if you were driving it with a T series versus an M series?
Thanks in advance,
Marty
