Subject:Question on Korg Toneworks G4 Leslie simulator

Hello,
I own a mint mid-1980's vintage Korg BX-3, and I just finished
replacing all the leaky electrolytic capacitors with new ones. The
organ is now again in showroom condition in both appearance and
sound.

I need to play this organ at home through headphones, but would like
the best leslie sound I can get. The built in leslie sim of the BX-
3 is pretty awful, and it's mono only. I am hoping that a stereo
leslie effect box may be able to "convert" the mono BX-3 signal into
a more pleasing stereo leslie effect that will sound better through
headphones.

I've read good things about the Korg Toneworks G4 and see that it
has stereo output. If it is fed a mono input, will it "create" a
stereo image on the outputs? Also, can an external switch be used
with this unit? I was disappointed to learn from Roland that you
cannot use an external switch on their Boss RT-20, only an
external "expression pedal". I would like to use a keyboard-mounted
switch to switch between slow and fast leslie speeds, not a "stomp
box" pedal, because I play pedal bass and use my right foot for
expression pedal control.

If there are also any other leslie sim units that will create a good
sounding stereo image from the mono BX-3 sound source, I'd like to
hear about them as well,

Thanks,
Lou
