+Hammonds can become microphonic in other ways too.. the expression pedal works a capacitor which can become a capacitive microphone if the blocking cap leaks tube plate voltage onto it. If the microphone seems to be inside the transformer can beside the preset bars, the transformer core can take a permanent magnetism and become a dynamic mic.. degauss the transformer. [Can2Can]
