Subject:VK-8 foldback

I now have a CX-3 and am satisfied with the bass, even though it too has
the correct foldback. Try playing with your eq/treble/bass settings,
and rotor/horn balance. I used to have an xk-2, which allowed
adjustable foldback. Some of the earlier Hammonds (before the B-3),
such as the B-C, had no fold back, to where the 16' on the lower octives
kept going down, like a pedal tone! But that at times made the bass
lines almost subsonic and less distinquishable. It did shake the floor
though! Foldback is usually a good thing, but the ability to adjust it
on my CX-3 would be nice, as with, apparently, your VK-8. I believe the
Electro has no way to undo the correct B-3 foldback either.
