Using Hammond Organ Chorus & Vibrato

Video Transcript

In this clip, we're going to be talking about the chorus and bravado controls on the organ. They're over here on the left side. And, you have your on and off switch for the upper and lower manual. In this case, back in the days, they called the upper manual, the swell manual. And then, the bottom one is the great. So, I don't know what's better, to be swell or to be great. But, either way. The swell, to turn it on, same with the bottom. Let me get a sound for you, same basic sound. And within that, you have several different settings, you have, C one, two, three and V one, two, three. So, bravado, and there's three bravado variations and three chorus variations. So, you can listen to those. Some are more subtle than others. You can barely even hear that one. That's the one I can hear the best, and that's actually C three, no that's V three, right there. They actually put those on the organ because originally Hammond's didn't come with the Leslie speaker. They came with the Hammond tone cabinet, which was just the speaker and it didn't spin to give it that, it's own bravado sound. So, that was the way of actually, that came before the Leslie. And, when you add that to the Leslie, you get kind of a nice tripping sound. And, you know, in some senses, or in some cases that might be the sound that you're looking for.
