I regularly use a 147RV and a 145 with a B-3...maybe 4 times a month.

I also use a Nord (usually, an Electro) or old XB-2 with a Motion sound top box. I love doppler sound, but I think that 10 feet from the amplification, it's hard to tell the real thing from some simulators.

It's kind of like tube vs. transistor amplification. While I'm playing, I think I can really tell the difference, but when someone sits in on my gig, it's not so obvious from out in the crowd.

I just get a sound that will work and go on with it.

Each Hammond is different and each player is different.

However it's done, I LOVE those rotating horns!
