Authentic B3/Leslie 147 Tube Saturation

dawman · Post by **dawman** » Sun Apr 30, 2006 2:10 pm

Not that I was going to drag out my B3 and anvils, but the the choices of distortion/overdrive were far from authentic. On a real B3 one note will bring you small amounts of tube sat, more polyphony brings in more, thus the overall swelling of the sound mixed with the drawbars, you get the drift. I could not get the precise sounds I wanted, but because of the overall quality of the B2003 model, and because I am going through a Motion-Sound Pro3T,it was passable for my work. I tried CWA plugs, and the same problem,too much, too little. I just purchased some 3rd party dev.'s for Solaris and before I jump into Dynatube, is there any B3 afficiando's out there who have used Dynatube yet? I really hope that this will work for me, especially the Twin Reverb model, for a lot of old B3 players used this in conjunction with the 147's for extra balls with dual mic'ing on stage. I can't help being a picky fellow, but CWA, and JB have done such excellant work for this platform that I see this as a small oversight that can be remedied with a quality sat. plug.

Thank You For Replies,

There are some very nice saturators and waveshapers in Flexor (amongst other cool things).

It is at the top of my list today. I am researching BiOsc,Adern, and RD Modules Series II as we speak.

I made a little modular to add to the B2003 4 a more accurate tube sat. Of course it was Adern Flexor Tape drive sat. module. It is very creamy and adds the perfect flavors. Valve drive also works 4 a more John Lord type of sat., but 4 the blues sound I need, my Scarbee W.E.P., and B2003 w/ Flexor Tape drive is the ticket. My most favorite plug was the Logic Audio B3 until this combo was tried. The Logic B3 was very editable, but thin compared to the B2003. I now have a dog that will hunt. Good tip you sneaky bastard, sorry I waited so long to try it, as I was very green w/ modular, and of course I am only a different shade of green now.

I have no experience with Modular III & Flexor.
Is it possible to make patches that acts as send or insert effects in the mixer?
So say i want to add phaserlike filter effects from the flexor modules onto say a Minimax.. Or a shaper / dist patch?

Or is it limited to use these as effects within the Modular 3 system?

I forgot about that, I could use this as an aux buss and bleed it in to my Wurlitzer, and this way have control on amounts for all instruments in that buss. This forum reminds me of a giant brain where one part of memory has a lapse, and the other parts jump in to help. Thank You Gents.
