Subject:Gigging Using Real Leslies

On this forum, I am one of the rare, probably extremely rare, people who play gigs where most of the equipment stays set up between gigs.  I play at a church weekly on Sunday mornings.  I use a Korg CX-3 through a Speakeasy pre-amp into a Leslie 145.  I do haul the CX-3 back and forth between home and church each week, but the Leslie stays put.  For at-home practice, and at outdoor or off-campus gigs, I run the CX-3 through an Art tube pre-amp into a Ventilator and that into the PA.

If I didn't have the equipment situation I have and had all normal-setup/take-down gigs, I am quite sure I would NOT haul the Leslie around and would use the Vent.  If the church gig ever ends, the Leslie will come home, where I am sure it will last longer than I will.
