The Hammond LESLIE 3300 has been a top choice of touring professionals who demand a genuine physical two-rotor LESLIE speaker, due to its 300 watts of clean solid-state power complemented by a vacuum tube preamp.
It is now joined by the 3300W, finished in oak veneer instead of road-going matte black. This makes it ideal for jazz clubs, houses of worship, or any installation that prefers a traditional-looking LESLIE that’s still compact at just 31 inches tall. Beyond cosmetics, many listeners have insisted that the wood finish imparts a slightly warmer, “rounder” sound. Price: $2,895 MAP
