Members funkunited Posted December 11, 2015 Members Share Posted December 11, 2015 Hi guys! I´ve just bought Hammond 136J but I don´t really know anything about Hammonds.. I´m living with Music and I Love sounds of instruments so I got the Hammond. My problem is that my Hammond doesn´t have that typical Hammond organ sound. Is that because I don´t play with Leslie amp? I really need to get that beautiful sound - is there any chance to get this sound with this model? Do you know something about this model? Thank you for your help!

Subsequently Hammond UK began to import these models in kit form, and assembled in proper wooden cases for domestic market.[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members trevcda Posted December 11, 2015 Members Share Posted December 11, 2015 Hammond organs have a lot of variations on their sound. Can you post of specific instance of what you looking to get out of yours? I could speculate all day, but without specifics it's anybody's guess.

Members delaware dave Posted December 11, 2015 Members Share Posted December 11, 2015 The typical Hammond that you "hear" is a tonewheel organ generating the sound. Yours is a non tonewheel transistor organ. The only thing your organ and the B3 model organ have in common is the Hammond name. If you're looking for "that" sound you won't get it from that model even with a Leslie. You purchased the wrong model. See J100 here: http://theatreorgans.com/hammond/faq/all_hammonds.html Then lookup B3 for the difference's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wesg Posted December 14, 2015 Members Share Posted December 14, 2015 I believe this is neither a Cadette nor a J100 (which date from the mid/late 60s and have wood that resembles an L100), but rather a 1984 Model 136124, in vinyl pecan. But Dave's conclusions still stand. I can you can get to Kingston, ON, Canada I can hook you up with a better organ for very little money.
