I'm with you there - transistorized organs of the late 60's are absolutely valid.
Nord Electro? Maybe not so much...

I dunno. We have an Electro 3 and a Farfisa, and I used own Hammond. The end result is the same. You are playing organ tones that are extremely close to the real deal and playing them the same way you would on the "real" organ. I know this for goddamn sure... I'm never loading a "real" organ onto a stage ever again. Thats dumb these days, unless looking cool is cooler than being able to stand up straight ever again. I don't really believe in the idea of a "legitimate" instrument. Seems like judging hairdos to me.
It never counted unless you were also bringing the dual leslie cab as well.Kniferide wrote:I dunno. We have an Electro 3 and a Farfisa, and I used own Hammond. The end result is the same.

I was at this show:

Definitely a Juno-60 with what looks (and sounds) to be a Yamaha PSR above it (tape covering YAMAH, but that last green A gives it away).
If after someone hears it they say "that was a sweet fucking organ solo, dude" I think it is fair.brownreasontolive wrote: Fri Dec 03, 2021 10:32 am If a Nord Electro is an organ, should we talk about Dx7 patches too?
