Chuck has a Speakeasy. I didn't really notice what was bothering him with
his BX3 until I sat down at his nicely equipped B3. The chorus vibrato
really does stink on the BX3. Period. Chuck carries a 145/7 leslie with him,
so the leslie sim on the BX3 isn't an issue. I was just as amazed as he was
at the difference between running a line out of the BX3 (using it's internal
sounds), and running a line out of the laptop running B4. If ever NI offers
a hardware module for B4, I'm considering selling my kids. :-)

As far as the ergonomics go with the BX3, I only played his for a while...
but I don't see where they could improve a whole lot. Since he's been
gigging it regularly I'm sure he has some flaws to mention, but there's just
something about the dual manuals, dual drawbars, etc.

-BX3 makes a very nice controller for B4-
