Subject:RE: (was Nord Electro) ranting about the CX3

I'm beginning to wish I knew someone in my part of Ohio that has a V5 I
could try out. I have tried the ART Dual Tube MP and recently a Speakeasy.
The Speakeasy blows the ART away but I still can't seem to get the CX-3 to
have some balls and sound consistent. Some songs it sounds great on and
others its horrible. I use David Jacques settings and some of my own presets
and they do sound good. I just can't seem to get the same balls as I can out
of my old analog BX-3.(Yeah the old one) It just reaches out and grabs you
running through an H&K Tube Rotosphere. I don't use it outside of my music
room at home due to the weight. Anyone in southwestern Ohio have an Electro
or V5 I could listen to and play???
Thanks for your help...

Dear list,

It's 3:30 am and I am baffled!!! I just suffered through four sets with
the
CX3. I've had a great time with the CX3 on transparent gigs (such as
jazz),
but I cannot get a CX3 to come even close to cutting it on louder,
non-jazz
gigs even though I have the Speakeasy, and even though I've tweaked the
patches
using all the wisdom on this site. Still, I know good people here are
happy
with the CX3. So why can't I get the CX3 to COME CLOSE to cutting it on
the
louder gigs?

The CX3 sound seems to have insufficient body, no matter what I do with
preamps. When you dial in a truly clear sound, it is shrill. With warmer
sounds,
I have to turn louder in search of clarity, but then things get all woofy
and
badly loud in the midrange so I give up, and then turn down again.

On the other hand, the V5 cuts it on the gig with ease right out of the
box,
even with zero tweaking (even though I can't stand many things about the
V5,
such as its hideously error-prone midi and its wall wart). The V5 has a
clear,
throaty tone, with a good pitch center to each note.

I'm selling the CX3. I feel like a thickhead who can't figure it out.
