I would suggest that the bassy overtone you hear thru the KBR3D is
more a feature of the XK2 than it is the KBR3D. Maybe it's not a
problem with a Leslie, i never tried it but my guess is that HS
probably optimised the XK2 tone to be used with a Leslie anyway and
presumably this configuration works great?. I used to own an XB1
(same sound engine as XK2) and i always found it way to bassy with my
Pro3T, the vibrato especially. I swapped to a CX3 and i can now flip
between 888888888 and 888000000 presets without any significant
change in bass or volume levels, even at full tilt. The C3 vibrato
does increase the bass a little but not nearly as radically as it did
on my XB1.
