I'm afraid the topic "can a real lelie/hammond be recognized" has
already been discussed over and over, last time just a few hours ago.
What I meant is: you're willing to take the hassle of bringing a real
Hammond on stage but not a Leslie? Seemed odd to me…Also becouse
something I've always thought I'll doo when I'll have the possibility
to buy and carry around one is to buy a real Leslie to gig with using
my mojo (yes, the internal sim is great, but it sounds incredibly
close to a miced Leslie, not to one standing a few meters from you),
surely before buying a real Hammond.
