]]> Comment on 122 AMA Preamp by Phil Aiken http://www.speakeasyvintagemusic.com/products/preamps-and-effects/absolute-modeling-amplifier/comment-page-1/#comment-47 Phil Aiken Tue, 04 Nov 2008 19:25:11 +0000 http://s204010537.onlinehome.us/en-US/products/122-absolute-modeling-amplifier/#comment-47 Spent last week in the studio owned and run by a pretty well known producer. Unfortunately (and surprisingly) - the Hammond/Leslie at this studio is an M100 - into a preamp pedal, into a solid state Leslie 865 (I think). I have actually recorded there before, and it sounds pretty good, but I brought my Speakeasy AMA to insert between the Organ and the Leslie. It was indeed a game changer. BUT....there was an electrical hum coming from the Leslie, with or without the Speakeasy inserted, that rendered it unusable. I did have my Muse Receptor and Nord Stage with me to do some overdubs we were planning, so I set up Nord Stage->AMA->VB3 Leslie on Receptor (with the drive off). I had done something similar before with my XK-3, so I knew it would be OK, but once again this combo blew us away. I was able to sit in the control room, with the Producer asking for more or less grind and distortion, and was able to dial the desired tone right in. You miss absolutely NOTHING from a 122 in terms of tone. It is not LIKE a 122 amp, it IS a 122 amp. I have no affiliation w/ Speakeasy, but I feel compelled to rave about this box. This is the single biggest step towards clonewheel happiness that I have found. Unbelievable - or I guess I should say, extremely believable...
