Andrew,

I actually ordered the Speakeasy Classic on my own analysis
and a test that they suggested.

The Barker is just a boost so if you like the sound that you already
are getting and just want a little umph to drive the preamp of your
amp the Barker is the way to go. To test this is you have a mixer lying
around put it between your CX3 and the Pro-145. You can use the
mixer to add gain.

However, you and I ran into the same problem. The sound coming out
of the CX3 needed not only perhaps some more volume but some EQ
color as well.

As I said before the Speakeasy mellows the treble, punches the bass, and
fattens the mids.

Before, I was using weird settings on the Pro-145 like those your quoted.

Now, the Pro-145 is set as follows:

Gain: 3-7 (based on song)
PreAmp Mode: 6.5
Volume: based on Gain Setting

Bass: 3
Middle: 8
Treble: 7
Hi Cut: 6

Horn: N
Sub Volume: 0

The Speakeasy is set at:

Gain: 1/4 (or 3 o'clock)

Volume: Varies (but there is PLENTY of boost - consider we have two preamps
here)
Treble: 1 o'clock
Bass: Hi Noon

The Speakeasy is used for color to get the right tone.

The Pro-145 is used to control the amount of distortion (the EQ setting are
set to sound
close to a Leslie 122 or 147.

Hope this helps.
