Thanks for sharing! This is so awesome. There is not much material on jazz bass pedal technique, yours was helpful!

I'm SO bummed I missed his show at UCF. Thanks for doing these videos Brian - and a shout out to WUCF's Kayonne!

The Hammond Console Pedals sound better (and the 8' Drawbar is more useful) if you Disconnect the Orange (2-2/3&2') and Yellow (1-3/5&1-1/3') wires from the Pedal Signal this gives a sound closer to a Manual 88 8800 000 sound. The higher pitches are more intended as a Cornet ("Kōr-Nāy") sound for Classical playing and to make the Bass part more auditable over household AM Radios.

The 5-1/3' Drawbar adds a Resultant to disguise the Tenor C Foldback.
