[HAM] How can boost the volume of my bass pedalsKon Zissis kziss at ozemail.com.auWed Oct 3 00:19:24 CDT 2007
Hi Charles and everyone. I could not read the text of your post. This happens sometimes on Hammond Zeni posts where the text from the post seems to be deleted and only the title and some other superfluous non post related text appears . If you are asking about boosting the volume level of the bass pedals of a B3 , C3 , A100 , RT3 , D100 etc organ , then one simple way to achieve this is by disconnecting the 10 ohms grounding resistor that is connected on to the pedal click filter inductor coil that is easily visible connected on to the middle of the back side of the upper manual , between the oiling instruction sticker and the preset panel when looking in from the back side of the organ. Disconnecting the 10 ohms grounding resistor causes a noticeable increase in the bass response of the 16 ft pedal drawbar. Shorting out the click filter inductor coil produces a more bass guitar like pedals sound with more key click on the 16 ft pedal drawbar. On my 1962 C3 organ this pedal click filter has two coils with brown enamelled wire and the 10 ohms grounding resistor is mounted on the inductor coil. On my 1965 C3 organ that I bought last Friday , the inductor coil is covered with a rectangular aluminium cover and the 10 ohms grounding resistor is connected on to a tag strip next to the right side of the covered inductor coil. All the best. Kon .
