ingredients: hammond C3 organ drive leslie 3300 no artificial addictives www.hammond.de/... sorry for audio peaks, I did not prepared the audio levels before recording....
Hey there, great video. I have a couple of questions about this thing. How does it compare to the BK Butler Tube Driver? I have a tube driver that I really love. I just want a less obvious overdrive for my organ like this one.
ciao! thanks a lot for your comment. here you can listen to the Organ Drive and the Tube Works (similar to the Tube Driver - but not the same exact tone -): th-cam.com/video/212aKoBBda0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1kFs2iQ1UkBAkxJo&t=248 the Organ Drive is much more versatile, from almost clean to "147 saturated sound". I had the original Tube Driver too, but I sold it before making a video 🙂 I made some comparison with the TC TUBE PILOT (intended as a Tube Driver "clone") here: th-cam.com/video/k7828YF-g9c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mY9XvWA6chKRzum8&t=353 (it's very aggressive too 🙂)
here a collection of overdrive/distortion pedals with hammond: th-cam.com/play/PLUhtZPy6198JCEuujOwB8cvauMGqymyNl.html&si=QmchDfCTCvB0kcq_ the Lounsberry ones are great too!
ciao, su chitarra non saprei dire... potrebbe essere interessante. il basso nel canale 1 è molto "ciccione" e suona davvero bene. il canale 2 taglia un pò di frequenze basse...
@@marcoballa posso immaginare... Ha un suono molto 'suo' questo pedale, mi da sempre l'idea di una motosega per qualche motivo🤣, simile ai vari lounsberry ma comunque sta nel suo. Ripensandoci forse sulla chitarra forse non va molto bene
@@GMatt193 in realtà ha una sua personalità ben precisa, soprattutto nel canale 2. esalta le frequenze medie (per andare a ricordare una specie di leslie 147). e infatti, usandolo con un leslie a stato solido il risultato è più o meno quello: th-cam.com/video/9O9S8nnGKYU/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared&t=1171 (registrazione più recente 🙂) anche con un clone digitale e un "mezzo leslie" a transistor rende moto bene: th-cam.com/video/tpMf4y5nWD4/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared ovviamente con un leslie valvolare non serve a nulla 🙂
Can you add the organ drive without changing the overall output level? I have a UHL clone wheel organ and the master volume increases a lot when the overdrive is added. So I am looking for an external overdrive that just gives me the drive, not increased volume that kills the mix.
ciao! the HX3 engine (inside the UHL) has a great saturation simulation. it simply works as the real thing: you increase the hammond generator potentiometer and the leslie amp/preamp receive an increased amount of signal, producing the leslie saturation. it means increased volume too. so, simply, when you increase saturation you decrease the master volume. this saturation GOES BEFORE the leslie (or leslie simulation). so if you want to try other kind of saturation, all of them should be BEFORE leslie or simulation. if you use external leslie, it's really simple. you can also adjust the overall volume in order to match the clean sound. if you are using the HX3 internal leslie simulation is not possible to use other pedals. if you are using the minivent (if you have the recent version of UHL) you should check with the manufacturer if there is any send/return option, in order to insert the effect BEFORE the leslie simulation. using these kind of (MONO) pedals after the (stereo) leslie simulation is useless :-)
Hi Marco, Thanks for this great video... I've ordered the Organ Drive some days ago, and is now waiting for it... And I think that due to your video I finally found a solution to get my organ/Leslie setup to sound as I want it to. I play a new version of the Korg CX-3 into a Leslie 147 (with a preamp MkI from 1965), but wasn't 100% satisfied. In the Korg there is a preamp mode specifically made when playing with a real Leslie. Here the speaker simulation is turned off, but it sound also like the bit of grit that the preamp in the Hammond makes is turn off too. And that bit of grit together with a cranked Leslie really makes the sound. So here it is only the Leslie that overdrives, and its either driving or clean... there isn't no real mid-area where you just gets a bit grit and a bit more when turning slightly up the volume. I tried a lot of transistor overdrive pedals, and some tube driven too. But as these mainly are for guitar, they do not handle the hot output of an organ well. I got a brilliant Danish pedal manufacturer Carl Martin to mod one of their existing guitar pedals so it handled the hot input better as well as the bass response, and that way I came a long way. But from I can read in German on the website of the manufacturer and hear from your video I think I finally got it now... So thanks man, and keep the videos coming... :-)
ciao! the dirty mode changes the "flavor" of the overdrive in channel 2, adding some nice grit (great, combined to the crunch mode). the extreme/hard mode add a hard distortion. new video coming soon...
@@marcoballa I thought the hard Mode represents the preamped 122 Leslie sound. The crunch and dirty would maybe represent Deep Purples beast from a Marshall amp. And the extreme maybe too?
here I used it with the "HARD MODE" on. th-cam.com/video/212aKoBBda0/w-d-xo.htmlm7s I'm making a new video (as soon as I can) in order to feel the differences between the different modes

Mi chiedevo come suona su chitarra o basso... 🤔
ciao,
su chitarra non saprei dire... potrebbe essere interessante.
il basso nel canale 1 è molto "ciccione" e suona davvero bene. il canale 2 taglia un pò di frequenze basse...
@@marcoballa posso immaginare... Ha un suono molto 'suo' questo pedale, mi da sempre l'idea di una motosega per qualche motivo🤣, simile ai vari lounsberry ma comunque sta nel suo. Ripensandoci forse sulla chitarra forse non va molto bene
@@GMatt193 in realtà ha una sua personalità ben precisa, soprattutto nel canale 2.
esalta le frequenze medie (per andare a ricordare una specie di leslie 147). e infatti, usandolo con un leslie a stato solido il risultato è più o meno quello:
th-cam.com/video/9O9S8nnGKYU/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared&t=1171
(registrazione più recente 🙂)
anche con un clone digitale e un "mezzo leslie" a transistor rende moto bene:

ovviamente con un leslie valvolare non serve a nulla 🙂

07:00 Jon Lord's Beast
06:55 actually
What's the difference between the dirty 03:00 and extreme mode at 06:55?
ciao!
the dirty mode changes the "flavor" of the overdrive in channel 2, adding some nice grit (great, combined to the crunch mode).
the extreme/hard mode add a hard distortion.
new video coming soon...
@@marcoballa I thought the hard Mode represents the preamped 122 Leslie sound. The crunch and dirty would maybe represent Deep Purples beast from a Marshall amp. And the extreme maybe too?
the HARD/EXTREME is a really hard DISTORTION :-)
here I was using the HARD mode (with low gain):
th-cam.com/video/212aKoBBda0/w-d-xo.htmlm8s
Can you also demonstrate the hard Mode please?
I'm making some new videos as soon as possible!
OK thanks.
here I used it with the "HARD MODE" on.

Com'è su basso?
Sai che non l'ho mai provato? 😁🤣
A breve ci provo!
How did you connect the Organ Drive between the C3 and the Leslie?
+FuelToNoise
ciao!
I have a JACK output from Hammond, so normal JACK cable :-)
+marcoballa Did you do this modification by yourself. My C3 has none.
+FuelToNoise
a technician made this for me, but I think is not complicated :-)
is your reverb before or after that preamp organ drive?
now there's the link in the video info!
:-)
this is (in my opinion) the best organ tube overdrive around!
What registration(s) did you use?
ciao and thanks for watching!
I used various drawbars combination, starting from 888 + perc 3rd.
then 8888, then 88888 + perc 2nd.
Hey Marco! Sound amazing! Who makes it?
Un Ottima "Vitamina" questo Organ Drive !!!
yes!
:-)
meraviglia l'organ drive, non la mia esecuzione con una mano sola....
:-)
Thank you friend!
che meraviglia!!
it's F A T :) love it.... great demonstration though
