Subject:Re: Hiss from keyboard and leslie simulator.

The majority of the leslie simulators produce a bit of
white noise and you can add a noise reduction
unit/pedal to your signal chain but the only thing
that is going to do is eliminate the hiss when you are
not depressing any keys. The hiss will still surface
and be in the sound when a key/s is depressed. You
really can't get around this and that is why I
switched from a VOCE5 and H&K Rotosphere to a Roland
VK-8M. I could not stand the hiss. With the Roland VK
I don't get any hiss with the internal Leslie
simulator. The best way to run a VOCE is thru a real
Leslie. Good luck.
