Organ setup for crunchy Breakstra live tune?

[Cute James]

Hello folks,

I'm a big fan of the crunchy/overdriven organ sound heard in this brief track from Breakestra's 'Live at Winston's' live recording, available from Archive.org:

• Breakestra's 'Live at Winston's'

Note that it's quite a different sound to that heard on the 'original' version used on their 'Live Mix album' (from around 22 seconds):

Which is actually a cover of 'Passin' Me By' by The Pharcyde:

Which originally sampled 'Summer in the City', covered by Quincy Jones:

Anyway...

Can anyone suggest a crunchy Hammond tone to match the live version in the first MP3 preview, please?

Cheers,
James

I havent sat down and tried to match what is here but maybe just a ingle drawbar of even footage 8,4, 2, and crank up the drive and Leslie. Not sure about Chorus as I'm not listening to it right now.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I'm pretty sure the Breakestra keyboard player uses an Electro2, but it's probably connected to an amp and mic'd up.

Note that there's a Korg beneath the Electro2...I wonder what that's for...?

For this tune I use:
Rotary Speed: Fast
Chorus: C3
Percussion: Soft, Third
Drawbar setting: 438687077
EQ: Treble +5
Rotary with 7,5 Drive
Reverb: Stage Soft (2)

Thanks!

It's close, but now quite 'bang on'... or perhaps I'm not playing the correct notes?

Maybe because the guy is playing an NE2, not an NE3?

Cheers,

Try this with swell pedal.
