Subject:Re: Motion Sound Pro-3X VS Pro-3Tm VS Leslie 2101

I think Pro-3X is better than the leslie sim on C1 because when I
used the leslie sim, it sounded boomy and the bass wasn't that
clear. Then the mid-high was not strong enough. Of course, I tweaked
EQ, but I think Pro-3X sounded a little bit closer to the real thing
although the leslie sim on C1 is really good and better than Hammod
XKs. Plus, I like using the half-moon switch for Pro-3x which is
attached to C1. Thanks to Bruce!

I will spend more time to tweak Pro-3X and C1 tomorrow. When I use
Pro-3X, I use the mix output because Barbetta is too strong for Pro-
3X, so I need to mix the horn and the rotor. In that way, it sounds
more balanced. One of the hardest thing about Pro-3X is tweaking the
gain, the volume, and the FET mode because if you turn the nob, it
changes quite a lot. Well, I'll have to spend more time to tweak...

Since John Fisher is here, I want to ask you some questions. Why did
you ditch the tube? Does FET provide warm and thicker sound like
tubes? What do you think about the differences between Pro-3X and
3Tm? How do you tweak in order to get closer sound to leslie?

In Japan, Leslie 2101 got improved because HS started putting a tube
and some other stuff. It's called 2101p, and it's a little bit more
expensive, but they improved it. I would buy it if I could get it,
but HS in the US still sells the old version.
