Default Re: Philicorda GM751 organ

This generation of cheapo electronic organs at the time were seen as lousy attempts to get the Hammond sound, and even further from a real pipe organ. But they're what a lot of people and beginning band could afford.

Seen from the 21st century, they have the charm of remembering a golden era. There's nothing wrong with it and it's very powerful.

Have fun, Nick. You have a lot of the spirit of the 1960s fitted into a small box.

The Farfisa sound on early Pink Floyd was there because the Compact Duo packed a lot of function into a very low weight. It wasn't chosen for its sound, it was chosen for being lightly built, then it created their sound.
