Viscount Legend

Firstly, I'll make the disclaimer that I'm a jazz/funk organist, not a rock/blues guy and my gospel chops are sorely in need of work. I mention that because I have no experience running a Hammond through a Marshall amp and I require no more grit than a 40watt tube Leslie will get me, so I can't/won't comment on the Legend as a rock organ. I do however have experience playing Hammond consoles (A100, C3 and B3) and the Legend nails this layout to a tee.

Everything is hands-on on this board, it starts up and is ready to roll mere seconds after you flick the power switch. Drawbars are smooth (non ratchet) and are easily manipulated. The different models (30's, 50's, 70's) are awesome, each changes the foldback in the lower manual slightly (important for LH bass). Leslie sim and C/V are spot on (given each Hammond/Leslie are so different in character anyway). Latching presets would have been nice, but I totally understand why that mechanism is tricky in a keyboard action.

I am thoroughly satisfied and can't wait to run it through my Leslie.

Thanks Thomann!
