Which is why I have an arsenal of Hammonds. Kinda like my usage of B5 above
I knew it would fit perfectly into the project with it’s amazing Gospel tones. Not saying the others wouldn’t…just knew what I wanted, and where to get it. VB3 1.4, VB3 II, Blue3, B5, B3-X, and others, still reside in my setlists.
Example: I was looking for a specific organ tone in Clapton’s live version of “Can’t Find My Way Home”. This was before B3-X entered the scene. I settled on VB3 II with IK Leslie. While VB3 II is not a favorite, I tuned right in after adding IK Leslie. These two paired together can really make some magic. That is why I paired IK with all my presets. In most instances, IK made things better. It’s all about the song, where it sits in the mix, and playability. Being satisfied with the instrument you are playing makes one’s performance excel.
I spend much time finding my desired tone, whether Hammond, Guitar Sims,Bass, Piano…whatever. It is a great feeling knowing the next song will automatically have what I need to put a smile on my performance…no worries, no hassles, no distraction, perfect song execution. Happy me, happy band, happy audience, happy tip bucket!
