Subject:Re: Thanks for all the XK-3 info - how about Internal Leslie simulation?

Eric,

As I have posted earlier, from just using the internal
leslie running through my stereo speakers at home, I
am impressed. One thing to bear in mind...any fake
leslie is going to sound better depending on what is
being pumped into it. In other words, the better the
sound of the clone, the better the fake leslie will
sound.

That being said, this is the best sounding clone bar
none. Therefore, the internal leslie is going to sound
pretty damn good by default, or at least that's my
opinion.

As I said earlier, I will be able to give a MUCH
better review of it when I finally have a gig where I
don't take the 147. Unfortunately, I don't have one of
those coming up.

However, I am really getting some great tones with the
internal leslie and the tube pre amp. The overdrive in
this thing kills! I have programmed a nice Chester
Thompson sound based on his organ on "Powerhouse" -
nice and overdriven.

Hope this helps.

Mitch
