Dear Jim,
Thanks for your note!! My normal organ set-up is exactly that... normal!! I have tried so many custom rigs that I eventually returned to the simple formula of a B3 and Leslie, set up and maintained well. The live challenges can be very easily dealt with and it definitely works best in the studio too!
 
A major part of my "sound" is the combination of the two manuals which, assuming you have the basics in place, is really important. I always use the drawbar keys as I am not mad about the pre-sets and the two settings I use most on the upper manual are, well, how shall I explain this? For the choruses of July Morning, pull out all of the first set of drawbars then push the fourth drawbar in a quarter, the fifth and sixth ones in a half and the seventh in a quarter. For the intro just pull out the first five drawbars of the second set and add the sixth one if you want a little more top end.
In most straight rock applications I play octaves on the lower manual so I use the first four drawbars and balance them so they don't obscure what I am playing with my right hand. Basically, think of the drawbars as volume controls as well as tone controls!
 
Hope this helps..
 
God bless,
Ken
 

 
..........Because the rig is valve-based it is important to make sure the valves are all operating at peak and a service technician can help with that. If not, they should be replaced! And there are options for the speakers in the Leslie which will give it more tolerance to long periods of playing at high levels. But they all sound different so it's important to try them and make sure they don't change the character of your sound. If it's not the sound you want there's not much point in making it louder!!
 
Finally...no, there is no need to have additional stuff. I tried all that and the best way is to use a good, solid and well-maintained B3 and Leslie. Once you have the sound you want then you can solve the live problems by using a long Leslie cable and carefully isolating the Leslie from all the other sounds/noises around. This can be done in a lot of different ways, the easiest of which is to throw a blanket over it. I prefer to use a specially built plastic "cage" with microphone mounts at the top and bottom but I can't always carry that with me so the old blanket should always be around!!
 
I hope this helps a bit and good luck.....
 
God bless,
Ken Hensley

...eli siinä Ken nyt kertoi "July Morning" liukutankoasetukset, ja se perusmeininki on traditionaalinen neljä alinta hanaa ihan auki ja loput liukutangot kiinni, erittäinkin todennäköisesti myös "Easy Living", josta tässä nyt varsinaisesti kysyit. Perkussio ja vibratot / chorukset jätetään pois, eli suoraa soundia ja reilusti säröä putkilesliltä. Näillä viitteillä pitäisi lähteä.... ;-)
