[HAM] Hammond Cv and DR-20 Tone Cabinet.

[Dave Bishop]

The CV has a separate switch on the upper right that toggles between chorus 
and vibrato.  The rotary switch is then 1-off-2-off-3-off, but you get the 
same result as with a C3.  Vibrato and chorus are either off or on for both 
manuals at the same time.  Percussion is about a $250 add-on, which I think 
sounds better than the C3's, but the switches will be on the left cheekblock 
instead of the upper right.  Smooth drawbars can be added with some effort. 
Unless your style is moving drawbars constantly, ratchet drawbars work well 
once you get used to them.  I am one who really likes the warm, smooth sound 
of my BVs, expecially through a field coil Leslie.  You should be able to by 
a CV with tone cabinet in working condition for $500 or so, leaving enough 
dough to get a good start on the Leslie that really completes the Hammond 
sound.
