Viscount Legend

Firstly, I'll make the disclaimer that I'm a jazz/funk organist, not a rock/blues guy and my gospel chops are sorely in need of work. I mention that because I have no experience running a Hammond through a Marshall amp and I require no more grit than a 40watt tube Leslie will get me, so I can't/won't comment on the Legend as a rock organ. I do however have experience playing Hammond consoles (A100, C3 and B3) and the Legend nails this layout to a tee.

Everything is hands-on on this board, it starts up and is ready to roll mere seconds after you flick the power switch. Drawbars are smooth (non ratchet) and are easily manipulated. The different models (30's, 50's, 70's) are awesome, each changes the foldback in the lower manual slightly (important for LH bass). Leslie sim and C/V are spot on (given each Hammond/Leslie are so different in character anyway). Latching presets would have been nice, but I totally understand why that mechanism is tricky in a keyboard action.

I am thoroughly satisfied and can't wait to run it through my Leslie.

Thanks Thomann!

Hello everyone!
I have LEGEND for about five months, so here are my conclusions:

Sound:

Recently, I had the opportunity to conduct a comparative test between Viscount and the well-preserved Hammond B3, both instruments connected to Leslie.
I was shocked because I didn't feel ANY difference in the sound !!!
I'm currently using the latest update (1.4)

Next things:

- KILLER FAT SOUND, NO DIGITAL FEELINGS AT ALL !
- FANTASTIC LESLIE SIMULATION (TWO TYPES) !
- GREAT ACTIVE OVERDRIVE !
- 2 TYPES OF REVERB !
- 3 DIFFERENT TYPES OF ORGAN: BC, B3, A100 !
- UNIQUE CROSSTALK FOR EACH MODEL.

Keyboard action is slightly heavier than in original B3 but I like it.
I'm also a piano player, so it doesn't bother me.

LEGEND is built LIKE A TANK - HAND MADE IN ITALY and It weighs only 21kg ! I'm in love, seriously !
I like how it looks, many people point out that is simply beautiful.

So, if you don't want to ruin Your budget and You're looking for a world class - professional instrument, THIS IS IT.

Greetings!
