Subject:Re: Nord C1 has arrived...short review

Believe me, the C1 leslie/overdrive effect is MUCH better. Big difference. I know, because I
the first few days I had my C1, it had OS 1.0 which had the leslie/overdrive from the stage.

is way better than the HS sim. If the C1's sim is better than the Electro's, it's a no brainer.
If it's not, you can get an Electro for $1500.

play for my own benifit. I used to have a M-100 / Leslie 122. Due to space, I now have
nothing . I have been looking at the Hammond XK1, now I see the Nord C1. I dont want to
go over $1500., but I still want to get that leslie/ hammond sound I use to get with the
122/M100. Can you advise me ????? Thanks Lee
