Subject:XK-3 - - Who's excited??

I am!
Got my Hammond XK-3 yesterday from Petosa's in Seattle, got the EXP
100 expression pedal (thrown in free). I'm making my way through the
manual and I'll do a little tweaking and experimenting with
parameters, but right out of the box, I'm lovin' it!
I'm not exactly the last word in clone assessment; I've barely
touched a real B-3, and this is my first "real" clone (upgrading from
the ol' Emu module), but I'm an extremely happy camper!
Love the key action, everything's solid, layout makes sense (to me,
anyway). My two-tier stand (gotta have that piano) and road case are
on the way, that'll give me some time to get more
C/V/percussion/drawbar savvy before the next band practice. I'm
pumped. I'm jazzed. I'm a real cloner!
