Creating your own Leslie Cabinets
As stated on page 11, the SKX has 16 different Leslie Cabinets. Eight (8) of these are User Cabinets (indicated by a “U”)
while the other eight (8) are Preset Cabinets (indicated by a “P”). The Preset Cabinets are permanently written in
memory, but the User Cabinets can be overwritten with your own settings. You can even re-name them if you wish.
There are 8 Preset cabinets, each designed to duplicate the sound of a particular model Leslie Speaker:
The data chart below shows the options you may select.
Leslie Cabinet Types
Name Description
122-Stock
Duplicates the characteristics of a 122-type Leslie Speaker, which is the most
common Leslie Speaker used on a vintage Hammond Organ.
147-Wild
Duplicates the sound of a 122 Leslie cabinet as it sounds on many recordings -
exaggerated amplitude modulation, etc.
147-Stock Duplicates the characteristics of a 147-type Leslie Speaker - tube sound but with
slightly more high frequencies, etc.
147-Wild Similar to “122-Wild,” but with the characteristics of a 147 cabinet.
31H-Type Duplicates the characteristics of a 60" “tall boy” Leslie Speaker such as the model
31H - tube sound with slightly more bass, etc.
760-Type
Duplicates the characteristics of a single-channel solid-state-type Leslie Speaker,
such as the model 760, which was designed to be a solid-state counterpart to the
model 122.
Rock Type Duplicates the characteristics of a tube-type Leslie Speaker which has been
subjected to hard use.
PR-40-Type Duplicates the tonal characteristics of a Hammond PR-40 Tone Cabinet.
The factory settings for the User cabinets are identical to those for the Preset cabinets. To edit and save your own Leslie
Cabinets, it is recommended that you first select the cabinet which already contains most of the characteristics you desire.
In this way, fewer changes will be necessary to achieve the desired result.
