Hmmmm

This has to be the leslie sim, not a real leslie.

If the sim is on most of the time, it tends to build up a sort of "wa wa wa"
effect. Forgive me if I seem critical here, but it seems like - during the
solo - there is quite of bit of turning the sim on and off , but it stays
mostly on. I wouldn't be fooled that I was listening to a real organ with leslie
if I was just hearing a recording of this performance without video.

Jimmy Smith once said "It seems like some players spend more time pulling
drawbars than playing the organ!" Ditto for switching leslie speeds.

Whenever I go to festivals where a Hammond is provided, it is not uncommon
to hear the players leave the fast speed on most of the time. You hear this
done mostly, until you hear the veteran players . Then you hear a leslie used
more sparingly.

The tone of the C1 is nice, and this a very professionally done video. It
seems like a pretty good band of competent players.

I wouldn't run out and get a C1 based on the sound of this sim.
