Another consideration is the tone control located on the preamp inside the console. It is an unmarked slotted pot. Full clockwise give high treble and the spitty sharp Keith Emerson sound. Counter clockwise darkens the output towards a jazz sound.
 
And don't forget the RCA aux input located on the left side of the volume assembly. Play an additional keyboard through the Leslie.
