Using A Vintage Leslie - Hammond Skx Quick Start Manual

4. Using A Vintage Leslie™

You can use the SKX with a variety of vintage Leslie Speaker Cabinets, but you will need the correct
"Kit" to allow the SKX to communicate with a vintage Leslie. Contact your Hammond Dealer.
If you are using an old-style "Leslie Combo Pre-amp" (such as the one shown below) to connect to a
vintage Leslie Speaker Cabinet, you can use 1/4" cables .
Attach a cable from the LEFT/MONO jack on the XK-5 to the appropriate input on the Combo Pre-
amp. MAKE SURE to turn the BYPASS Touch Button "ON."
This sends a "raw" signal out, bypassing the Internal Digital Leslie Circuitry. This prevents an
unpleasant effect where an already-effected signal is processed through the Leslie Speaker
Cabinet. When you use a Leslie Combo Pre-amp, the Leslie speed controls for the XK-5 (the Touch
Tabs and/or CU-1 switch).have no effect on the connected cabinet. You must use the foot switches
mounted on the Leslie Combo Pre-amp.
NOW THAT YOU'RE ALL HOOKED UP, YOU'RE READY TO START
