Subject:Re: Why did Hammond get the virtual B3 right?

Dave - trust me. The Xk-3 is a major step forward from
the B4. Take it from someone who used the B4 all the
time, live and in studio. The Xk-3 is a superious
piece all around.

Oh...the B4 pedal tones were weak.

I was using an M-Audio Quattro with ASIO drivers.

Yes. I used both the B4 and the Xk-3 through an amp
with the internal simulators and through my 147. Xk-3
wins hands down.
