Both the Hammond and the Leslie tube reverb amps get there signal from
the speaker outputs. Hammond has there inputs to match 8 ohm speakers
while the Leslie reverb units match 16 ohm speakers. Leslie 41 inch RV
cabinets used 1 8 ohm 6X9 speaker while the Leslie home decor RV
cabinets used two 16 ohm 6X9 speakers in parallel to make 8 ohms. The
Hammond reverb amps used an 8 ohm speaker of various sizes depending on
which model they were in.

Some people like spinning reverb and some do not. If you have a Hammond
spinet or console, the reverb signal can be mixed into the rotary
channel of the Leslie or to another amp altogether. 

The input signal to a Leslie can be tapped off and sent to another amp
if desired.

What gear do you use?

Well, i think I'd want the old school one.

Ahh, damn - that's right (extra louvers and upper cab size with 122r).
I 
have reg 122's, a 22H, and a 45 with 122 amp. No extra louvers (but they
all 
have the pwr connection for verb on the amp I believe)

Hmm...prob screwed, but the idea isn't dead to me yet.  There might be a
way 
to do it with what I got.
I do have extra a-100 verb units too.

thanks guys
