[HAM] CT's instrument setup

[Toussaint]

looks like tone controls.
 Any ideas what they might be?


i noticed the left end of the console, ....ther are guys here who may can 
identify everything there, ... I can't really, but it looks like a trek 
percussion and uhh.. Well i met him about 3 yrs ago here in Miami>  in a 
practice session w/santan and band, he spent his whole break answering my 
questions about his rig,(which wasn't there) and his set-up, he said he had 
the trek for years, and that his organ was rigged in the TOP days by some 
Italian techs...., I remember him saying also that in concert he uses either 
one or 2 leslies, and 6 jbl cabinets with 4 speakers in each, (think they 
were 12"speaks) plus he also useds a leslie similator. ( i guess for the JBL 
cabs) since the TOP days. Thats all i remember now, sorry, there were more 
innovations, but.....i forgot the rest for now.

He seemed a really nice guy to chat with,.. and he does enjoy talkin about 
his rig when asked.


> tracking down Sonny Burke!?
