Design
The Hammond A100 has the same tonewheel generator and internal circuitry as the B-3. It adds onboard reverb, an amplifier, and speakers, so it works as a self-contained instrument. The console-style cabinet came in multiple wood finishes, including mahogany, cherry, and walnut.
Context
The A100 was the home version of the B-3. It gives you the same core sound in a self-contained console made for domestic use. The B-3 needed external amplification and speakers. The A100 put everything in one unit, so no additional gear was needed.
