[HAM] Hammond Percussion

[Jordan Kersten]

I wasn't trying to be rude.  I see now how that may have came off snippy.  My apologies.

Anyhow, I do have a Trek Unit Installed and it is nice.  It sounds great and the freedom to adjust the percussion volume is wonderful.  However, I am used to playing an actual B3 and I MISS hitting that percussion tab off and having my 1' drawbar back.  In addition to that, what I miss the most is being able to quickly switch from 2nd to 3rd percussion at the flip of a switch.  With the Trek Unit (the TP-2B) I always find myself missing the mark as to how loud I want the percussion when I have to switch quickly while playing.
