Can anyone share some light on the history of this? How is it related to the GX-1?
ReplyDeleteSure. This is the top-of-the-line Electone of the same vintage as the domestic models E-70, E-50 etc. Like them, it has a somewhat condensed and miniaturised version of the voltage controlled circuitry of the GX-1, and many of the same live performance control features, while providing 'traditional' flute footages accessible by the usual tone lever system. Note the absence of rotating speaker components in the large tone cabinets, as with the GX-1. On this model, however, there is an electronic tremolo/chorus circuit - not a very effective or convincing one, unfortunately, but the sounds could be directed to 'normal' organ cabinets, if desired, I guess. So it is a direct (chronologically and technologically) descendant of the GX-1, without really approaching either its tonal complexity or sound-sculpting capabilities of that revered instrument. Cheers.
