Well, button pushing is not a problem, much, especially if I just get some
presets going and stick with those. ON my VK, I don't program sounds, maybe
I should start. I just pull up one of the presets and mess with the
drawbars, leslie button, overdrive knob and occasionally reverb. That's it.
Maybe I would like it more if I started messing with amp models and the
like. But, I need something that I can program a little easier without
sighted help, and stuff like that. I'll just have to go to a local store
and try them out.
