Hi everyone, I recently started playing some Deep Purple songs.
I already have a good Hammond sound but I`am not quite Happy with it and I thought, if anyone could give some tips how to get a better Jon Lord sounding Hammond.

thanks in advance

Hi,

I just did some google-ing and found this:

Enjoy!

edit: ah wait... they did it using real hardware (mike placement, amplifiers, etc).

Fan of Jon Lord here as well.
Which song(s)/part(s) are you trying to get close to the sound of?

If you are short of time, just buy those sounds. Amazing value for money

The Intro and the Solo from Lazy.

Okay, my nord is the NE5, and I see that the two of you asking for the sounds have a stage 3 or stage 2, but as far as the solo organ is concerned it may help.

I play Lazy with the settings as follows:

General System Settings:
B3 vintage 3
Key Click High
Bounce On
Perc Decay Fast and Slow: Medium
Dto. Volume Normal and Soft
Rotary 122close
Bass/Horn 40/60
Horn Speed Normal
Horn Acc Low
Rotor Speed and Acc. Normal

Drawbars 888272773

Now the rates of the potis as seen in the foto:
Eff1 9.7 - this is my solution for the Made in Japan Intro Ringmodulator. The further I get, the more I reduce the RM Rate down to Zero.

Spkr/Comp 10.0

Reverb 4.4

EQ Bass +6.4
Mid Freq 2,4 Gain +5,2
Treble +9.5

I love it on stage!

And now Hush:
As there are several recordings of DP we may feel more liberate with the sound. I use what I use for Highway Star:

Generals the same as for Lazy

Drawbars 888071766

Effects settings as follows (I haven‘t moved the knobs in the foto accordingly):

Spkr/Comp 8.9

Reverb 3.9

EQ Bass +12.6
Mid Freq 458 Gain +7.9
Treble +11.0

I love this as well, but I‘m also open to any other good idea.

I do really look forward to playing live very soon again! Boah, it‘s such a hard time without! Enjoy life, sunny regards from Germany.
