There's a gotcha with an outboard vibrato/chorus effect. On a real
Hammond, the percussion does not go through the vibrato/chorus
section of the preamp. This is fairly crucial to the sound in most
people's ears. You may find after a lot of time and expense that you
can't get the authenticity that you crave.

Thanks,
Ron
