I thought I read an interview with Rolie in Keyboard magazine where he 
talked about using a Bill Beer chop to get that trademark sound...

  Drew,
  I think you may have read incorrectly. As I understand it, Rolie never used a chop by anybody. He liked pretty much stock B's and Leslies, knows how to play them and those are what are produced his trademark sound. Heresay is that on Samba Pa Ti that great Hammond sound was a BC but I can't remember where I heard that. It wasn't from Greg though so don't put too much stock in that statement. I do know he did not use chops very often if at all, and I am somewhat familier with who does. Take care.------John Haburay.
