Leslie 3300
Just ordered a Leslie 3300! My wife was not excited at all. Go figure. Just had to share with someone who understands! Cannot wait!!

Re: Leslie 3300
I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with your future Leslie.
May be someday, I'll have one too
Regards,
Dan

Re: Leslie 3300
Awesome! You're going to love it!
Thankfully, I was able to sell a bunch of musical equipment to fund my 3300, so it snuck in under the radar.

Re: Leslie 3300
I have been using a Leslie 3000 with, first, my Nord C1, then, my Nord C2, and now with the updated Nord C2 with the C2 D sound engine. What's great about it is the 11 pin hookup that let's you control the speed of the Leslie with the organ versus a footpedal which responds slower. Don't forget to turn off the onboard Leslie sim.
I also have a Hammond SK2 which does not have the 11 pin hookup. It's not as natural as playing the C2 thru the 3300.
I think you'll love it. One word of caution. I think I damaged my first 3300 by turning the tube pre-amp on the Leslie up too much. That is a problem especially if you "lend" the 3300 to some one. Just take it easy with the tube preamp on the Leslie 3300 and you'll be okay.
Otherwise, I have found it to be perfectly balanced. I put it in my Rav 4 by myself and slide it on its side over a small piece of carpet. I have transported the 3300 on its side since I got it with no problems.

Re: Leslie 3300
I'm thinkin' the Leslie 3300 (one-piece, two rotor) is a better choice than the Leslie 2121mkII (two-piece, rotor-sim, stationary channels)
Although the 2121 system seems more flexible, I haven't seen much about it.
I do believe when you add it up, the 3300 is smaller and lighter than the full2121 system. Also less expensive.

Re: Leslie 3300
Hello my name is Bennie Veldman ( from the netherlands) and hope my english is readable;)
Recently I've purchased a Nord C2D.
Very happy with it!
I wonder what output is the best to connect my Nord with my Leslie 760. ( combo pre-amp)
The left or right output? Or the Highlevel jack output?

Re: Leslie 3300
If you want to send the simulation to the PA use the high output if the pre amp can handle it. (reducing the level only takes a cupple of resistors if you are handy with a soldering iron)
Otherwice turn the simulation of and user either output.
I have a box with multiple relays so I can control the internal simulation as well as an externa leslie.

Re: Leslie 3300
I always use ( live gigs ) my leslie. ( micing it) .
So I think I have to turn off the simulation and use the left or right output.
I'm not handy with a soldering iron
Thanx for your comment.
