EFFECTS
You can add Vibrato/Chorus, Leslie, Pedal Sustain, Reverb and Overdrive to the sounds of your
Hammond Organ. In the following section, each effect is explained in detail.
Ë
Vibrato and Chorus
Your Hammond Organ has two Control Tablets and one Rotary Knob which turn Vibrato “ON” and “OFF”
for each Manual, and which also control the degrees of Vibrato and Chorus.
Vibrato / Chorus ON / OFF
To turn the Vibrato or Chorus effect "ON,” turn the appropriate Control Tablet "ON."
V-1 - (Small Vibrato) - This produces the vibrato equivalent of most orchestral solo instruments.
V-2 - (Wide Vibrato) - This is the standard depth vibrato to produce the effect of a theater organ.
V-3 - (Full Vibrato) - This gives the fullest amount of vibrato, adding much warmth and enhancing
your music.
Chorus
When the CHORUS effect is used,
half
of the tone is heard without Vibrato, and
half
contains the
vibrato amount indicated by the number “1" “2" or “3.”
C-1 - (Small Chorus) - This produces the light chorus effect.
C-2 - (Wide Chorus) - This is the standard depth of the chorus effect.
C-3 - (Full Chorus) - This is the fullest amount of Chorus, adding warmth that enhances your
Drawbar settings.
