Tonewheel
The B4 goes beyond what is possible with an old Hammond organ in many
ways. One important feature is that it is equipped with a replaceable
tonewheel
generator as standard. This means you can easily take out the whole set of
91 tonewheels and replace them with a new set. In this way you can quickly
change the basic sound of the organ.
In the old days, if you weren’t happy with the sound quality of your Hammond
organ, for example because the tones weren’t pure any more, you had to get a
specialist to replace the filter capacitors in the tonewheel generator and calibrate
the tone filter circuits. With the B4, you can quickly switch between different
tonewheels by selecting a set from the menu - it activates instantly.
