Subject:Re: Reverb, Before or After, Lesied or Staright?

I think there is a middle ground here and it comes down to taste and practicality.

If I have reverb available in the instrument, the Leslie will be last. In a recording studio of course the Leslie will be miked dry and add reverb in the mix. With the Vent and an external reverb, you have a choice so take your pick. I agree a boingy 2 or 4 spring reverb is not my choice either but I have a 6 spring that sounds perty smooth. Putting the drive coil in the the power feedback loop really helps in keeping it from getting boingy from over driving the low end (but I digress).

Did any one mention using separate Tone Cabs with internal reverb as "echo" speakers like in a balcony or in the back of a sanctuary? My VK-7 goes into that mode when you plug in the 11 pin Leslie, the sense wire (I forget which pin) makes the VK-7's 1/4" outputs deliver 100% reverb(no dry possible). It's kind weird but to me but I guess it has it's place. Going off on a tangent here, I found this out by trying to run the VK-7 Leslie Sim together with a real Leslie on the 11 pin (like Dual Leslies) but doing so gave me only reverb out of the 1/4" SO... I disabled the sense wire in the leslie (it was the easiest to access) and with the sense signal disabled, the 1/4" output provided the Sim. It was kinda cool and worth experimenting with but not really worth running it that way regularly, but I may find I need/want this set-up someday.

Artistic license rules otherwise, no rules. My $0.02

Cheers,
Rock
