474 Chapter 26 EVB3
The Tone control only affects the distorted portion of the sound, while the dry signal
portion remains unaffected. This allows for very warm overdriven sounds that won’t
become “scratchy” if you try to get more treble out of the instrument.
Drive controls the amount of overdrive distortion. The output level is automatically
compensated for, so there’s no need for another master volume control adjustment
facility.
Rotor Cabinet
The Hammond story can’t be fully told without a chapter on the rotor sound cabinets,
manufactured by Leslie. In fact, playing the B3 organ without a rotor cabinet is viewed
as a “special effect” these days. The EVB3’s rotor cabinet section simulates not only the
speaker cabinet itself, but also the microphones which pick up the sound.
Cabinet
There are five settings available:
Off
In the Off setting, theres no rotor effect at all and you’ll hear the direct output signal of
the organ, and/or the other effects. There’s an alternative to switching the rotor effect
off: in the Brake mode, the speakers don’t rotate, but are still picked up by the
simulated microphones, in a random position. (see paragraph “Rotor Speed” below).
Wood
The Wood setting mimics a Leslie with a wooden enclosure, and sounds like the Leslie
122 or 147 models.
Proline
The Proline setting mimics a Leslie with a more open enclosure, similar to a Leslie 760
model.
Single
In the Single setting, the sound of a Leslie with a single, full-range, rotor is simulated.
The sound resembles the Leslie 825 model.
Split
In the Split setting, the bass rotor’s signal is routed more to the left side, and the treble
rotor’s signal is routed more to the right side.
Wood & Horn IR
This setting uses an Impulse Response of a Leslie with a wooden enclosure.
