Hey, does anyone have some experience with the motion sound pro3x? I just picked one up second hand and it's a pretty cool unit, however I feel it's not that loud. Of course I understand it is to be connected to a lower speaker and I have tried it with a bass amp and a keyboard amp. I have the clean volume set to 100% and just enough gain to get the sound going , but even with the gain set low, it starts to break up and distort a lot faster than I would anticipate, making 90% of the gain knob pointless noise instead of smooth overdrive

I have used the mixed output and fed it Into a keyboard amp, helping amplify it to a smoother degree. But with a stand alone bass amp, I feel it can't keep up.

Do I just have the wrong idea of this amp? Or is it just intended to be quiet and then reamped through a keyboard amp?

Should I bring it to my electronics guy and have him look over the driver and electronics?

Hey Hammond organ players of Reddit! I have a Crumar Mojo that I’m looking to get rid of, but I’m located in Hawaii so shipping will be costly. DM me for pics or if you know anybody that would be interested in taking this off my hands. Here is what’s included to whoever buys it:

Crumar Mojo Suitcase Edition organ (w/power cable)
Crumar Trolley Bag (Cost $200 plus overseas shipping, was backordered for 2 years!)
Hosa set of dual-TRS cables
Yamaha FC7 Volume Pedal
Crumar’s Half-Moon Leslie Switch (to control rotary speaker, already mounted)
USB WiFi Dongle (used to access the system settings to change organ models to various Hammond organ models like B3s, C3s, A100s, etc., and customize rotary speaker settings)

Should have grabbed a picture before I covered it back up, but the title is self explanatory. The motor oil reservoir is a dark amber color, and the oil inside is about the consistency of ballistic gel or firmer. Do I dig the old oil out, relubricate? Or do I need to apply a de-gumming agent to all of the spinning parts to ensure none of the oil on them us gummed up too? Or do i trash the organ?

Ive had the organ about 3 years, oiling once per year. I dont play it often. The people before me had not oiled in a while, but they did not remember the last time they did.
