Editing Organ Drawbars

[mstodola]

The Pa4x with a spacestation v3 has plenty of volume if used with a subwoofer. The weak link of the ssv3 with the Pa4x is it slopes off very quickly in the bass below about 100Hz which doesn't allow the drums and bass to have a place in the mix. The organ works if you don't need to play the bass with it. The ssv3 is good if you add a subwoofer. I'm thinking about gutting mine and making a box with a 15 inch coax I saw at Parts Express. I could get more volume because the 15" coax is more sensitive and more bass because it is a 15 inch speaker.

There is no one standard Hammond/Leslie sound.

Except when you are using that pair together ?

Yeah, a real Hammond/Leslie is the real deal but look at the differences there. One console sounds different from another and same with the Leslies. Years ago in a previous life I was doing an album and the studio had a pristine B3 and Leslie all mic'd up. The sound was too pristine for my ears, no grit or punch at all, just a very clean organ sound and I didn't like it but in the mix it sounded great.

Since you have both the Mojo and Pa4x, how would you compare the organ/leslie sound alone? Say with and without the Vent, I would like your impressions of the internal Mojo sim vs the Pa4x internal sim and overall character of the sound. If you could somehow post some recordings on Soundcloud that would be even better. Obviously, this is the arranger forum not a organ clone forum but there are several threads where people are asking about different aspects of the Pa4's organ sound so I think you would be appreciated if you could put up a comparison of the Mojo vs Pa4 organ. And it doesn't matter if you're a killer player or an average player. I don't see a lot of rock stars on this forum, we're just all regular folks. Hold some chords, push some drawbars in and out and turn the leslie on and off. Just that alone would be great, if you want to put up a whole organ trio song, that would be great too.
