Subject:Stage Level XK-1 and Leslie
I have a new XK-1 coming this week and I have a few questions. I've
been gigging with a chopped B-3 with a Trek II solid state preamp
through a 142 Leslie. I plan on using the XK-1 with a Speakeasy
Vintage preamp into the 142 or into a Motion Sound stack (Pro 3T and
Low Pro). Will I have basically the same volume level on stage with
the XK-1 rig? I know the Leslie will not get as loud as the Motion
Sound stuff....however back in the old days I had an analog CX-3
through a Leslie preamp pedal into a 145 and I didn't have the
volume levels that I did with a real Hammond(AO-28) into the Leslie.
I know it's kinda late to worry about it now anyway and I'll know
for sure very shortly but just wanted to see if anyone can give me a
preview of what I'll find out.
I have used my Voce V5 through the Speakeasy into the Leslie and
with the Motion Sound stack (not at the same time). Is the output
on the XK-1 as hot as the V5's?
I guess what I'm really saying is...."Will I get that nice scream on
the high end that cuts through the live mix with the XK-1?"
Thanks and Holiday wishes for eveyone and their familys on the list.
