Subject:new to list... awaiting VK-8M

Hi all,
Just joined the list and wanted to say hello to
everyone! I'm Dave from Portland Oregon USA... I play
casually on my friend's B-3 whenever I get a chance,
and gig usually with my Rhodes and Motif. I previously
owned a Hammond Xk-2 and Motion Sound Pro3/Low Pro
rig. Sold that a while back and now i'm entering my
next phase of Hammond organ obsession... Now I'm
eagerly awaiting the arrival of my Roland VK-8M!
(expecting it on Thursday) I also own a Leslie 44W to
which i added another motor for fast/slow (a great,
compact ballsy leslie), and a leslie pre-amp. Can't
wait to hear the VK and the Leslie together... Last
resort I'll use the VK-8M straight into my Barbettas.

Does anyone else on the list own a Vk-8M yet? I was
always impressed with the Vk-7/8 tone over Hammond,
Korg and Oberheim... Although I haven't heard ANY
sound samples yet, I expect the VK-8M will be just as
good or better. Am I going to really need a SE
pre-amp? I would love to hear any comments or reviews
you'd like to share. Of course, I will report on my
experiences with it when I get the VK.

Thanks, list!
Dave
