Hammond's Organs V.16

It all started when I pulled apart an old Hammond transistor organ and started monkeying around testing parts and whatnot. I developed a circuit around the components and found it to be a super desirable mid-gain distortion. We, as of now, don't make the pedals with the old parts, we are using new components. We tested hard and tried a lot of options to ensure the same warmth and character as the early Hammond's... the bonus is that the new components are less noisy... which is good. Until I buy and destroy more organs, I'm going to be building the Hammond's with new components.

Each batch of Hammond's I build is a little different from the last. I keep saying I'm going to find a perfect setup, but I never do...

This run of Hammond's has a charge pump that converts the 9v input to 18v allowing for a bigger, beefier sound. This Hammond's also has asymmetrical soft clipping. the original "Gain" is now the Drive, plus there is a true Gain.

Jacks: In on the right, Out on the Left

Knobs:

V: Volume
D: Drive. How hard the signal hits the transistors.  This has the largest control over the intensity and beef of the distortion.  CCW Less Distortion. CW More Distortion.

G: Gain. Changes the sharpness of the distortion.  CCW Woolier, CW Bitier.

Industry standard 9vlt jack, no wall wart included, no battery option, isolated power recommended. Only Use 9 Volts!
