That's the other side of the coin. I know when I played vintage Hammond, I
never used the presets at all. Well, I occasionally used the F or F# preset
on the Great, but for the most part I preferred to "Roll my own"

I did go to the trouble to changing my presets once - lasted for a few days
and then I changed my mind wanting to tweak this or that - so it wasn't
worth the effort.

Cheers!
