You tried EPs through the roadbox, did you try an acoustic piano patch? My
guess would be that you'd still want a full range, hi-fi type amp for acoustic
pianos.
Actually, Mikael did play acoustic piano patches through the RoadboxIII
also. I totally forgot that we did. I personally thought they sounded very
nice, but I'll leave Mikael to give you his opinion on that. He is a Director of
Music and I believe very classically trained. So I'm going to leave that
evaluation to his ears for a more "learned" opinion. But I thought that they
sounded great.

When you say you stopped the horn, did you stop it in a specific place, or
randomly?
The box had a foot switch with two buttons: Fast/Slow and another for Stop.
We just hit the stop button. We didn't particularly try to achieve a
specific position of the upper horn.

>Does this box include some type of low rotor simulator?

No, there is no low rotor sim. I believe that SpeakEasy achieves the low
chorale and the low rotor spinning sound by using a different crossover setting
(or something like that). To me it's almost as if the front facing bass
speaker is really a sub woofer and the upper speaker is handling the moving air
sound. I'm sorry I'm not more technically versed on how it achieves what it
does. But it's quite impressive.
