Drawbar Level With Percussion - Hammond B-3 Owner's Playing Manual

Drawbar Level with Percussion

On the original Hammond Organs with Touch-Response Percussion, such as the B-3, C-3, RT-3
and A-100, when the Swell Manual "B" Preset Key is engaged, Percussion is "ON" at normal
volume and a Drawbar setting is used, the volume of the Swell Manual Drawbars is reduced slightly
in order to preserve the musical balance between Swell and Great Manuals. However, some pros
would perform a modification so that the "B" Preset Drawbar settings would remain at full volume
even if Percussion were "ON" at normal volume.
This Advanced Feature allows you to select either "-3db." (Percussion volume is reduced) or "0db"
option.
