The SFX Spacestation arrived (from Sweetwater) yesterday and in perfect condition. I tried it out with both the Yamaha NP-30 and (just for kicks) the Hammond XK-1 w/ it's rotary sim. The tone from the piano was just what I was hoping for (non-colored) and the Groove Tubes' "spatial spread" control did broaden the sound some. It was even more impressive with the rotary sim from the XK-1 going through it. This will work out great as there are a couple of venues the blues band plays at that have long winding staircases and just not conducive to bringing the big Leslie cabinet. The Spacestation (and an amp to run it's sub-woofer signal into) would work out quite nicely and give me much more of that rotary effect over a "mono" amp.

The Spacestation did a good job on it's own with either of the keyboards. However, when I ran it's sub-woofer output into the extra channel on the Leslie, the rotary cabinet's 15" speaker really added a lot to the sound. What's interesting is the fact that even when the rotor is spinning at the slow speed, it doesn't seem to affect the piano sound. It's noticeable on the fast speed but is negligible when the Leslie is either on "slow" or "brake" mode. Interesting... and will be convenient.

Also, running the Spacestation's "lows" to another amp does increase it's volume level (just having to handle the mid-to-hi's) significantly. The amp is really compact, amplifies sound similar in (non-colored) fidelity as my Bose PAS and looks good on top of the 3300. It's a keeper!

I suspect that that is going to be a great combination! Keep us
