Do you know if the MKII's original organ sounds were taken from a direct
output on the Lowrey?

Was this recorded direct or amped?

Interestingly.............or maybe not, TCotCK (abbreviated just to
annoy)was recorded by sending the MKII through a Wem stack and miking
that(or so we've been told) but when the MKIIs came into us, they had been
modified to a 1/4" jack output and maybe this was for direct injection but
who knows for certain.  I don't, my mum Betty doesn't and neither does the
bloke down the pub with a whippet.
