Screaming Organ, here is four of them.
I belong to the minority that have returned the noisy halfmoon switch to it´s box and engage rotary with after touch.
In sound demo a Polybrute does the bassline.

*Just so you know, the song "Don't Do Me Like That" has often confounded organ players, because Benmont Tench doesn't play a Hammond Organ in that song.

It's well documented on the internet if you do a search. He's playing either a Farfisa or a Vox through a Leslie, so common Hammond registrations don't often work...

Hello Guys!

Just to let you know, from my opinion and that is what lead me to originally create this topic, is that the Nord Elctro 4D Hammond Sound is way better to my ears than the NS3 Compact Model!
I have it side by side... and the Electro 4D has a much warm and "Vintage" sound than the NS3 Compact! Eitherway, i've tested a few beta Fimrware releases and helped Nord to achive some improvements in tearms of the Hammond B3 Sound on the NS3! It's definitly much better now... but.... still... Electro 4D all the way for Hammond recordings!
*PS: Of course i tested side by side on my studio, so it has the same sound configuration for both models guys!

Right now, i've bought an Nord Stage 4 (73), not so good for Hammond playing style.
To my ears, it sound just like the NS3! It has another bugs that need urgent fix, but in tearms of Hammond Sound, it seems preatty good just by playing it right outside of the Box!
