Re: Listen to HX3 before buying

ciao,
here an example with C major (and other :D ).
HX3 with internal leslie simulation.
line out to recorder, no eq, no compression, no effects.
overdrive specification:
--> HX3 HAS NO overdrive
--> HX3 HAS NO volume
it works exactly as a vintage hammond organ into a vintage tube 122 leslie.
real hammond has NO overdrive. it produces a warm, fat, NOT DISTORTED sound.
you can increase the leslie 122 power amp level (that's what I'm doing here and there in this video) and you can ear the "natural" tube saturation of leslie.
so it is difficult to define the sound "without overdrive".
with the 122 power AMP at a low level you have a cleaner "slim" sound, if you increase the volume of the AMP you have a bigger "fat" sound + saturation (mainly coming from horn driver).
leakage, chorus, percussion and keyclick too, sound different if you work with 122 AMP at low level or at high level.
no general volume, so you can not turn up the volume with a "clean" sound (as with the vintage hammond + leslie).
if you increase the leslie power AMP you increase volume AND all other saturation effect (as with the vintage hammond + leslie).
i'm not sure this thing (no volume) is good or not, but it is philological :lol:
