Yes, but what kind of 'treat'? I've read people talk about the various
ways a Speakeasy can improve the sound of a clone, but I'm wondering
what it can do for my specific concern for this specific setup. That
is, if you're using an XK-3 with the internal Leslie sim, will putting
a Speakeasy in the fx loop allow you to get a nice 'growl' instead of
the fuzzy overdrive the XK-3 normally has? And how smoothly/naturally
does the Speakeasy respond in the fx loop when you're using the
expression pedal?

I'd really appreciate any feedback from anyone who's played around
with this type of setup.
