Legend Soul 273
Description
The Viscount Legend Soul 273 reinterprets the excellence of the tonewheel organ in a contemporary form, combining the prestige of an Italian-developed design with Joey DeFrancesco’s artistic vision to deliver a refined, authoritative, and deeply inspiring sound experience. At the heart of the instrument lies TMT technology and the exclusive digital reproduction of the 9-contact action, capable of delivering an extremely expressive touch, a realistic key-click, and all the harmonic complexity that made the great vintage organs legendary. The two 73-key waterfall keyboards, dedicated physical drawbars, half-moon switch, and rich effects section featuring Vibrato, Chorus, Rotary, Overdrive, Delay, and Reverb complete an instrument designed for those who desire absolute control, tonal character, and uncompromising stage presence.
