Hi,

No - The Pro3-T has two outputs - I send them both to the mixer and then go to
the power amp from there. The PC88 and Alesis outputs also go to the mixer.

Pro3-T->Mackie 1202 mixer->QSC 1200 watt power amp (bridged)->JBL 4725

The Pro3-T sits on top of the JBL.

The only time I mike the rig is to send the signals to the sound guy. Then I
would use 2 SM57s at diagonal corners of the Pro3-T and one for the bass
speaker.

There *is* a lot of setup time! I would rather do this:

V3 -> volume pedal -> Lesley preamp -> Lesley 145 and then mike the Lesley. Of
course then I'd have to deal with an amp for the piano/synth sounds.

I could have bought and rebuilt a Lesley 145 for less money. My son plays drums
in a Green Day-type punk band and he uses the QSC and JBL (plus another JBL) for
their PA. So I was more or less able to convince my wife of the value of the
investment :-)
