the output thru the non Vibrato section of the B-3 preamp. I set the volume
at the same as the real B volume, and ran thru a standard 122. I wanted to
see how close it was to the real thing. .....

What's the point in having a clone if you need a real B-3 on hand to make it sound right? Or a Fender Bassman, for that matter?

imho, the CX-3 wins because it makes a good attempt to capture the vaguaries of the pre-amp/amp/leslie combination. I love it because I need to play it through a full-range system, like most people these days. I don't want to carry a dedicated amp!
