Subject:Re: Electro Programability (was Newbie Questions)


I just would like to point out here for the record, that the very raw
tone you hear when the leslie sim is turned 'off' not 'stopped' is
exactly what is needed if you go through a real leslie. It simulates
the raw G-G terminal signal off the preamp. It sounds very good
through a real leslie. (I use a combo preamp into a 125 rebuilt with
upper horn assembly and added 15" bass speaker and crossover.) I tried
using leslie 'stop' to do the same thing, to possibly add some 'amp
coloring'...but the sound of that is dreadful...very peaky in the
midrange, since the same bandpass EQ is being applied twice
essentially. In what I've heard about the VKs (at least the Vkm
module) is that you need a special tweak (soundside.de) to be able to
get the raw tonewheel (leslie off, not stopped) sound if you want to
use a real leslie.

The funny thing is, after I played with the leslie for a while when I
finished building it recently, I plugged the Electro back into my
studio monitoring system in stereo... and hooofa, its right there! Not
much different than the real thing. In response to the original
question, the one tweak I'd wish for would be a way to adjust the way
the leslie sim cuts away the high frequencies when engaged. I feel the
keyclick (which is nicely adjustable BTW) gets eaten too much - even
at max - by the sim. If Clavia offers up any amp model tweaks or
decides to activate the parametric EQ knob for organ mode (currently
NOT) I'd be happy.
