  Actually , I'm not planning on playing a phonograph. I was just noting 
that the
  manual indicates that as an access point for the signal and wondering 
if I could
place some kind of effects at that point in the circuit. Although , I 
am currently running my CD player through an Ibanez
Soundwave 35 and have considered splitting the signal and running one 
channel through the L100
  to make use of the added speakers. I'm also curious how the tube amp 
in the Hammond would effect the tone of the
recorded music.
   Mainly , I want to make sure that such experimenting is unlikely to 
damage the organ.
