Steve Hayes from Dover PA custom built these Preamps until his death in 2014. Basically this device works with any synth giving it a great warm overdriven sound on any preset. It is however made to work simultaneously with and control Leslie Tone Cabinets. This particuliar model has connections and adapters for Leslie models T-122 and 147 PA Classic.There is a built-in switch to turn the cabinets on and off and the speakers are driven by the input from the Preamp. The Preamp has basic tone controls and volume and overall Gain control on the left side of the Preamp. You get that Vintage sound regardless of using it as just a synth Preanp or that along with real leslie cabinets. This is a unique design and it is a shame they are not being made any more due to Steve\'s death. Now you have the chance to own one that has been barely used and is in new condition with all the proper cables for connecting Leslie cabinets mentioned above. Sold complete as it sets with no returns. Adapter cables are atttached on either side for the two types of Leslies this unit supports and there is one long Leslie Cable to hook up to a remotely located Leslie. This unit does not have the footswitches to control the rotor speed of the Leslie\'s just the on and off. This is a Clone Unit and meant to be used with synths that simulate vintage Hammond Tone Wheel Operation and usually have their own speed controls built into the Synth unit to operate the Leslies. Please make sure your synth will accommodate this unit as a preamp. No returns.This is a reprint from Steve\'s old website on the basic on choosing the Speakeasy Vintage Music Vintage TubePreamp. We recommend that you take a moment and read this manual as itprovides information that will help you in using this unit to it’s fullestpotential.Each preamp we build is customized according to the customers order. Wethen label each preamp to designate its intended purpose.Preamps bearing the Motion Soundtm name are intended for use withamplifiers with ¼” input jacks. They are therefore suited for use withMotion Soundtm products or any standard audio amplifier.Preamps bearing the T-122, T-147, 9 Pin, and/or 11 Pin prefix have anadditional side mounted connector(s) and “pig tail” cable(s) for use withLeslietm products as follows:VTP Prefix Compatible Leslietm ModelsT-122 30A, 30C, 31A, 31H, 21H, 22H, 22R, 122, 122R, 122V, 122RV, 142,222, 222RV, 242, and 122A.T-147 31W, 44W, 46W, 25, 45, 47, 47R 125, 225, 145, 147, 147V, 147RV,245, 247, 247RV, and 147A.9 Pin 760, 770, 825, 900, 910, and 925.11 Pin 122XB, 130, 315, 330, 412, 615, 715, 716, 722, 723, 740, 750, 771, 815,820, 822, 840, 860, 912, and 914.In addition to customized outputs, the tonal structure of your preamp is alsocustomized for it’s particular application. You’ll find a label designating yourpreamps tone structure in the lower right corner of the lid. “Clone” isintended for use with keyboards that simulate the sounds of a vintageHammondtm tonewheel organ. “Wurlitzer” has been optimized for use withvintage Wurlitzertm electro-pianos, while “Suitcase” is designed for use withRhodestm electro-pianos. “Keyboard” is for use with other synthesizers aswell as general audio.FOOTSWITCHES (OPTIONAL)T-122, T-147, 9 Pin, and 11 Pin preamps come with a built in footswitch tocontrol rotor speed. 9 Pin and 11 Pin may have an optional Stop switch.“Motion Sound” preamps with a footswitch(s) will require an additionalcable for speed control.FRONT PANEL DESCRIPTIONINPUTStandard unbalanced ¼” input jack, connect to your synthesizer’s “mono”output. Set your keyboard’s output level to between 75% and 100%.VOLUMEOverall Preamp drive level, you generally want to keep this control between50% and 75% also.TREBLEControls the relative volume of the higher frequencies. Start with this controlset between 50% and 75%.BASSControls the relative volume of the lower frequencies. Start with this controlset between 75% and 100%.VOLUME PULL SWITCH - XK PAD or BARKER (OPTIONAL)XK PAD: Pulling the knob out will engage the –30dB input pad. Pull thisknob out when using a keyboard with higher then average output levels.BARKER (OPTIONAL): If equipped, the XK PAD is replaced with ourBARKER circuit which adds additional gain to the preamp’s input. Pull thisknob out when using a keyboard with a lower then average output level.SIDE PANEL DESCRIPTIONLINE OUTStandard unbalanced ¼” line out jack. Connect to your audio amplifier’sinput.GAINSets the preamps overall output level. You want to keep this level as high aspossible to have the best signal to noise ratio. If you are experiencing humor noise, try turning this control up and your amplifier’s input level down. Ifthe preamp is overdriving your amplifier, lower this control until thedistortion disappears.LINE/LESLIE (OPTIONAL)Output transformer tap switch. Set according to which output you areusing. If using both outputs, set to the Leslie position to reduce noise
