Subject:Re: CX3...does it have it?

Yes Dean....semantics is what separates our opinions.
I defined is as "missing" some frequencies, others say
it's "high and shrill" and the end result is the same.
The CX3 is a "version" of a Hammond, not a Hammond.
Even the Electro/Speakeasy/Bulldog leslie combo gets
almost there, but the "throatiest" clone to my ears is
still the V5. (with speakeasy/leslie of course!)
