Now that we all agree all the Clones out there are really pretty darn
good. The only area we have to work with is signal management &
presentation. Face it most of us forget this important area.
Here is a prime example from the past. Hammond B3 with a JR20 cabinet verses
Farfisa Compact on a 122 Leslie. Guess who wins on a live gig. Farfisa hands
down. I know went thru this in real life.

Mix in the fact we now have Leslie Sims & choice of sound options
increases 10 fold. The solution is still quite simple. Decide on real
Rotary or Sim. The final answer is Good signal management & proper amp
presentation. The whole thing boils down to this example. 2007 Ford Mustang
GT with Model T tires & rims. RUNS LIKE CRAP....
