[HAM] Signal path of Concorde jacks

[Jerry Fowler]

It should be fairly easy to make a homebrew connection kit for playing your
guitar thru the leslie - and completely bypass the organ. I made such a kit
for my 145 using some inexpensive wire connectors, plugs, and jacks from
radioshack, using a SPST footswitch for speed control. I spent less than $40
for all the parts, and now I can use my 145 with any guitar amp. It rocks!
I'm not familiar with the configuration of your leslie, but the same kit I
made for my 145 could be used with a 122 if I added a pot to the circuit as
an attenuator to pad down the level. Leslies are tough buggers - dont be
afraid to experiment a little.
Didn't mean to be a smartass in my earlier response, just seemed like a no
brainer.
