Subject:Re: Leslie Vs Motion Sound

I have played an a100, a CX3, and a Nord Electro through a Leslie 145 and a
MotionSound Pro3t with LowPro.

The 145 sounded way better. So much so that I sold the MotionSound stuff
and built a gigging 145.

On the other hand, for most clone gigs with a full band, I just use the
clone's internal Leslie sim, especially when I'm bringing the PA to the gig!

I know that you asked for a comparison with a Proline, but you might be
interested in my experience.
