But in this age of clones, modules and laptops, the Lowrey Heritage Deluxe, with its rat’s nest of circuits, proper switches, and super–visceral sound, is a refreshing if somewhat dusty breath of sonic fresh air. Some smoke Benson & Hedges, others Lambert & Butler. People often ask me “Why the Lowrey? Why not a Hammond?” Well, some people play a Gibson rather than a Fender. It might have lacked drawbars and tonewheels, but, sonically, the little–known Lowrey Heritage Deluxe was a match for any Hammond organ.
