TC Electronic Pedals and Hammond Organ

[@stephanematis]

That was seriously fun stuff! Really put me into rock concert mood, with the keyboardist giving the rest of the band some time to recharge/re-hydrate while he entertains the crowd. Solid!

[@marcoballa]

thanks for your comment!

[@christhedemocrat]

Wow. You're good. You're Inspiration for me to keep practicing And I want all three of those pedals! Sounds great Should sound great when paired with my Hammond XK-2 and Wurlitzer 200A Thanks

[@marcoballa]

Ciao! Thanks for comment👋 I tried them with wurlitzer and rhodes too and the sound is great 👍

[@brianhintze6440]

Wow...just now seeing this = excellent!

[@marcoballa]

thanks a lot!

L’ hammond è sempre l’Hammond ....ricordi degli anni 70.... il mio un L100...comunque bravo alle prossime 🎹

Great video! I just bought an A-100, quite similar to your C-3. I am comfortable doing my own electronics work, but don't know where to tap the signal to run to the effects. Is it possible to post a picture inside the back of your organ to see how the electronics are wired?

[@marcoballa]

@@markk.8410 ciao, thanks for comment 👍 On my C3, I have both the regular multi-pin output and a standard mono jack output (so I can use normal effect pedals). A good technician can easily make it 👍

[@markk.8410]

@@marcoballa I am looking to be my own technician. I want to create the mono jack output also. Can you upload a picture of where your technician attached your connection? Thanks!

[@marcoballa]

@@markk.8410 honestly I do not know where it is, I just can see the "final" jack output near to the multi-pin. I will ask to the person who did the job 😁

[@markk.8410]

@@marcoballa Thank you sir, any input would be appreciated!

[@marcoballa]

(I still have to "move" the organ for the annual oil refill... everything is wired down to the centimeter in the studio and every time I have to move the organ it's a long and complicated job 🙂- please be patient for the picture 🙂 -)

[@adrianzendeh]

Man great playing ang thanks for the inspiration. Deffinitly gonna try the Overdrive with my Mag Organ

[@marcoballa]

Thanks to you for comment! The HX3 engine has a great drive too 👍👍👍👍

[@adrianzendeh]

@@marcoballa Yea thats true, but im looking for something that makes my organ scream ;)

[@marcoballa]

@@adrianzendeh 😁😁😁😁

[@marcoballa]

@@adrianzendeh so... other examples (and a new SCREAM organ video is coming soon): kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGKVkn6ld6eXl5I

[@marcoballa]

@@adrianzendeh just remember that every drive pedal should be BEFORE leslie (real or digital). So if you use your MAG with internal Ventilator you should have a "insert" or "send-return" option in order to put the pedal before the Vent

What a nice hammond C3. Is it hard to find the UK cabinet? I like the design.

[@marcoballa]

Thanks for comment 👍 Yes, not easy to find this smooth/plain cabinet, I was really lucky 😊

[@jordanburrill883]

Really fun, thanks

[@marcoballa]

thanks to you for comment! it's just an experiment :-)))) feel free to see also the last video concerning how every detail in hammond (keyckick, chorus, percussion, etc.) react to real tube preamp: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4CchGuko6x-j7c

2:16 Il DRIP mi piace dibbrutto 😉

[@marcoballa]

eh sì, fa il suo lavoro 🙂 grazie per il commento!

[@davidmccall4776]

How would one use either of these with a Combo ll preamp and a Leslie 760? Do you have to have a stand-alone amp, in addition to the organ and Leslie? I really need some reverb for my C-3. Thanks!

[@marcoballa]

For all "normal" effects pedals you need a standard mono jack. Maybe a good tecnician can make an adapter...

[@marcoballa]

(I use a standard mono jack, both from organ and into leslie 3300W)

[@orgue2999]

Hello man, I'm facing the same scenario as you (with a Leslie HL 822 instead of the 760). I have a mono jack at the output of my A100, which goes into a Combo II then into the leslie, I plan to test a Tall and Fat type pedal between the organ output and the Combo. Have you found a solution since this comment?

[@davidmccall4776]

@@orgue2999 Not yet, but I'm working on it. I'll be sure to post a comment when/if I do. I hope you do as well. Good luck! 🎹

[@dediarazitamlilteam-livevi8387]

Thanks Dear Marco for showing the demo. i also sent you another comment on your other video, i have gotten the new 115 tornado and wanted to ask something. also would you recoment the Tall and fat over the tube tc?

[@marcoballa]

ciao! thanks to you for comment! congratulations for you new Tornado! the tube amped Tornado does not need the Tall & Fat, as the all-tube amplification provide the natural tube saturation for THAT sound we all love :-) the TC Tube Pilot provides a different kind of saturation, more aggressive distortion and it should be an "alternative" if you need still "more angry" sound :-) here an example of my Tornado (tube amped) with a added naughtiness by the TC Tube Pilot: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpXQcqp-jcuWr9Em5s her just the Tornado and nothing more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/en7LXoyFmsdrra8

[@dedile69]

@@marcoballa Thanks so much for the reply Marco, The Tornado is amazing but realy needs extra agresive sound, Ill tey the Pilot :)))) by the way the tall and fat hasnt arrived......from Canada

[@marcoballa]

you have the Tube amped one, correct? so You just have to use it at 20 watt and turn up the volume :-) you instantly obtain the Jon Lord sound :-)))) (Tall & Fat could be useful for the transistor version)

[@dedile69]

@@marcoballaYes Dear Marco, I have the tube amp Tornado 115, i put the volium of the red pr-eamp on 50% to max and i am getting a nice overdrive, but i play at my home studio and i realy need to play very laud to get the overdrive sound even if i play on the 20 watts option, also it looks like my Hammond B3 putting out HUMM NOICE when i push the volium pedal all the way to the end, however i have gotten today the Tube pilot as you rcomended yesterday and it is adding an amazing sound to the overall sound even if i play on Low Volium. it sounds fantastic!!!:)))

[@marcoballa]

@@dedile69 it works as a real vintage leslie, so you have to increase volume to get the right tube saturation. In a studio room 20 watt are not so loud (if you have a separate room for it) :-) It's exactly like a real 145 or 147 leslie

[@Harvehful]

How are you running the effects thru the organ itself ???

[@marcoballa]

ciao! I have a standard mono jack out from the organ, so it's easy!

[@colejennette]

How are you tapping into the signal? Is this just the preamp signal off the back of the organ?

[@marcoballa]

ciao! I have a standard mono jack out from the organ. (a good technician can make it easily). and the 3300 leslie has a standard jack in too, so it's easy 🙂

[@mcswing2001]

Hi! How do you setup the pedals between the hammond and the Leslie??? Thanks!

[@marcoballa]

ciao! I have a standard mono jack out from the organ, so it's easy!

[@mcswing2001]

@@marcoballa but how do you plug than to the Leslie?? How did you set that plug in the hammond? You don't use 11pin Leslie cable I assume?

[@marcoballa]

as described in the video, I use the 3300W (or, live, the Tornado), so standard mono jack input :-)

[@davidmccall4776]

How would one use either of these with a Combo 2 preamp and a 760 Leslie? Do you have to have a stand alone amplifier in addition to the organ and Leslie? I really need some reverb for my C-3. Thanks!
