Subject:Re: Speakeasy & XK-3 Effects Loop

I'm not sure why you would bother selling one Speakeasy to get another to be honest. The only thing you gain by putting the Speakeasy into the effects loop is using your XK3's controls for your leslie if you use them. But if you're using a 122, obviously you don't gain anything there. And while I too was considering having Steve put an 11pin in (He will do this!), I realized I'd then have to drop another $50-$100 for an 11 pin leslie cable, which takes more in the cable case, is more cumbersome to roll up, puts too much strain on the cable loom I now use (thereby putting more strain on the jacks of the keyboard), and then of course I'd have to buy 2 cables because I'm crazy and think I need to have spares in case something goes wrong. (Although my voodoo theory proves me right everytime...if I have a spare I never need it, and if I leave the spare at home, well, you know what happens....) Save the hassle, keep your present Speakeasy, use in the effects loop if you want, but this
way you're covered all the time.

PS...by the way, the Speakeasy/XK3/leslie combination is a real tone getter.

Questions for xk-3 owners:

Has anyone placed their Speakeasy Pre into the XK-3 Effects Loop?

Is this effect loop like a channel insert (as opposed to a aux send
type)? I.E., does the loop effect all of the sound?

Is the effect loop located "pre"(before) any overdrive or amp modelling?

I'm tempted to buy an XK-3. I already have a speakeasy classic stereo rack
with 122 out. But I could sell that and just get a shotgun for the loop.

Another cool device would be single channel shotgun type Speakeasy with
11pin Leslie input and 6pin 122 or 147 output. Maybe the 11 pin input
could also power the Speakeasy? As if Steve Hayes wasn't busy enough!

I know---you'll say call Steve. But first I'd like to hear what people
think of that effects loop.
