Yep! The Electro definitely has the best clone B3 w/122 Leslie, and
the best clone Chorus/Vibrato - if you choose to use it ...heh-heh
I used to play that old "Oye como va" song but no C/V vibrato set on
me widdle organ, played it using vintage Roland Bass & Lead preset
with pitch bend; one other version with trumpet, trombone, tenor sax
and lead guitarist taking the intro while I played EP/organ rhythm.
It sounded great in each version, covered but not copied by originals
w/covers bands. It's only an old (very old) song after all, one good
example of a fine organ sound - not a religious icon.
The old keyboard rockers that survived the 70's must ROFL to think
that a whole bunch of younger players, and even a few their own age,
are striving their best to imitate something they once whomped out as
a one-off solo, one of maybe hundreds of recording takes, "Cool!
Let's keep that one!" Some may shake their heads sadly at the
thought and sigh. *BUT then again, some of 'em might want to get the
old band together and go on a reunion tour - to prove they don't play
the songs that way anymore. Cool! How much are the tickets? Yay!
