Organ Shootout – Vintage Hammond B3 Versus Digital Hammond XK3

Ah, finally a decent side-by-side comparison of these two!
In this corner, the original, venerable, vintage Hammond B3 (1958).
And in this corner, one of the top contending “clonewheels”, the digital Hammond Suzuki XK3.
In the video below Jim Alfredson, organist for acclaimed soul jazz trio organissimo and blues band Root Doctor, discusses the differences between these two contenders.

By the way, if you’d like Jim’s custom tonewheel set for the XK3, e-mail him through the organissimo website: http://organissimo.org (The set does not work on the newer XK3c.)

Nice Demo!
Thanks for taking the time to do a great video with proper audio. (The audio made the difference for me.) Now I know the XK3 is something I should at least consider.
Cheers,
Jason.
