Subject:Re: Motion Sound Pro-145 for jazz organ

I am now using a Pro-145, due to weight and space constraints, and I
think it sounds great. Its actually mellower than my previous rig,
because it is so easy to adjust all the parameters. You can hear it in
our latest jam - we start out with some jazzy/funk before we get into
the blues, so you can hear it in all contexts. I use Nord C1, but
you'll still get the idea. I am coming from a jazz background, so I
like a mellower tone. My band has learned to stay out of my way!

You can also hear it in a soul/blues situation with a higher quality
recording on our myspace page
