[HAM] How do I get overdrive on an L-100 spinet?

[Eric Pratt]

Also one other possible error in the previous reply -
Leslie 110's are non-powered (amp in the L-100 would
drive the single bass/full range speaker>>>rotor). The
L's unfortunately (I have only played a couple) are
not the same animal to work on as A,B,C, even M3. Not
an AO28 or AO29 pre-amp/amp, wouldn't know where to
find the gain pot that's on the swell housing in 28's
& 29's, don't think there is one. SOOOOO, there will
be no growl from the organ, and for sure no growl from
the Leslie. Amp modeler or TUBE (!!!!)pre-amp for sure
only solution. I checked the Captain's site and the
Wiki for you, and came up dry...if you wanna go
spinet, find an M3 for sure. Best of luck, Eric Pratt
