Subject:Re: Speakeasy's preamp

Hi David

When I am using my Motion Sound rig, the bass sim or Low Pro is very
important. I set my tone controls on my Hammond XB5 to full. My preamp
treble around 1 to 3 o'clock, bass 3 o'clock & volume to taste. I have found
it to be very important to drive the input signal hard. My Motion Sound rig
to me is killer. Heck I retired my 145 Leslie forever. Just some thoughts
