Yeah Bill, and it took a gazillion years for Hammond to figure out that was a feature most organists wanted. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't it appear on spinet organs (and other brands) before it was added to modern B's and C's? Unless you're a classically traind heel and toe guy on the level of a Barbara Dennerlein (who strangely plays all 'toe' - at least when playing jazz), it is almost impossible to play a nice 'walking bass' with just pedals (with no sustain).

Good Barbra Dennerlin story. She used to travel with a custom pedalboard and midi unit to get better sounds and sustain. Came to the US to do a concert and couldn't get it thru customs. They had no idea what it was. I can (or used to) play heel/toe with my LF but still liked the sustain and click the Nova gave me.ran it thru and Ampeg B4 amp into 2 JBL 15" speakers. Leslie sat on top of the bass cabinet. The good old days.
