The drawbars just increase the relative signal levels of each pipe so it's functionally equivalent. > I've got an l122 valve tonewheel hammond and two leslies, a leslie valve > one and a transistor sharma. > I have to say that pretty much any keyboard can do a pretty good hammond > simulation if you put it through a real leslie.
