Somewhat hard to control

Andro, 20.12.2013

This is very elaborate and precise dual tube overdirve. It does what it does very well - emulates the distortion of vintage Hammond/Leslie combination. If you have the time to tweak each particular sound, for example in studio recording situation, it will do the trick. However, if you are frequently changing your drawbars and playing in different registers, the distortion will not follow as the real vintage Hammond/Leslie does. For example, if the distortion sounds right for a solo line with percussion, it will not sound right for chord chops. You would have to tweak it in between and two "channels" will not be of a much help. So for me it is not very well suited for live playing. Anyway, I am giving 4 stars because of the potential for studio use.

A real sound enrichment

Karlheinz W., 09.10.2013

Like every hammondologist, who does not want to live without his analogous tonewheel gel, I'm constantly on the lookout for the sound. On the Organ Drive I just came across by chance. I have him now for about 2 weeks and can recommend the device unrestricted.
For me, the part works between a Hammond A100 Bertram-Chop and a current Hammond Leslie 3300P. Whether the device synonymous with a digital organ makes sense, everyone must decide for themselves. Digital organs usually have amplifier simulations and overdrive effects. If you are satisfied with a digital organ, this should be enough.
A real hammond one gets at a Leslie 122 but only then to the tube when the Leslieendstufe tugs and this succeeds to the suffering of the neighbors only at full volume. With the OrganDrive, John Lord greets at room temperature.
The device has a true relay bypass (without sound loss) and 2 channels, the volume of which can be adjusted individually. If the channels are pre-adjusted with regard to the distortion and the volume at the Soudcheck and are adjusted according to the volume, you can also switch live without fiddling by pressing only one switch between 3 sound variants: eg. Clean (Bypass) - slight warm strain (channel 1) - swine organ (channel 2) and this without shocking the FOH or fellow musician.
In contrast to its competing products, the OrganDrive offers a wealth of setting options. But watch out. Already relatively minor adjustments of the settings have audible effects on the sound and volume. Fine work on the stage is therefore probably not a thing of the past.
I also do not want to miss the Organ Drive any more. Although I still have a nice Hammond B3 at a Leslie 122, I actually only sit on my A100 Chop and handle around the Organ Drive. Finally there is such a toy also for organists!
