There's an RCA on the left side of the expression pedal, looking at the organ from the rear. At least there is on a B/C3. Or rather, on the box that's connected to the lever that connects to the expression pedal, I assume that's where the variable capacitor is that they use for a volume control.

I think people used that jack to get guitar signals through a Leslie in the old days before they came up with the Leslie Combo Preamp, and that it can also be used to get organ sounds into an external sound system.

On your organ, I guess that'd be on the right side of the box, since the preamp is upside down and backwards compared to where it's located in a B3 cabinet.

Thanks David! This morning I tried a bunch of things (having to do with the reverb amp) and didn't find anything worthwhile. The RCA jack is right where you thought, and I get a decent signal through the Pro Reverb. I have a PMP Super Buffer that I'll try between them.

AZ,
The XK3 is also a portable B3 modeler with a close-but-no-cigar Leslie sym. I was able to witness a new full-size B3 demo at a local shop. It was awesome to watch the salesman work this tremendous combination of old-school meets new-school. I think he enjoyed it as well as the shop seemed to tailor to a rather snooty clientle. He was breaking out Deep Purple, Blind Faith, and even the pipe tones from some Ozzy intros - fun for the whole family!

Watching the recent Black Crowes DVD. Has Ed Hawrysch hooked up with a new band? Fantastic DVD with everything rock: huge drums, guitars aplenty, dirty horns, and filthy keys. Just too short in length.
