I have those same questions, particularly regarding the rotary sim, Craig. It sounds really great, but I seem to remember Guido building a pedal for a demo that switched Mojo's internal sim AND a Leslie 122 simultaneously. So, if that was the internal sim, Jack, can you tell us what settings you were using in the VB3 (angle, distance, drive mode, etc)?

As for the credits, it sort of reminds me of my big band days, back in the late 60s and early 70s, when we'd get charts for the bass rack labeled "Fender Bass," rather than "Electric Bass." Obviously, these parts were played on Gibsons, Hofners, Guilds, Rickenbackers, Moserites, Gretches and a plethora of other brands of electric basses ... the bass man wasn't going out to buy a Fender Precision, Jazz or Mustang just so he could play a Fender bass on the tune. Likewise, there would be an occasional "Fretless" designation, indicating a preference for a fretless electric bass. Otherwise, they would be labeled simply "Bass."

I've gotten used to the manufacturers' system for avoiding copyright infringement; reed piano (for Wurlies), tine piano (for Rhodes), tonewheel organ (for Hammond), red tolex combo organ (for Vox), Italian combo organ (for Farfisa), etc.

I'm not at all certain that I like the idea of crediting Hammond when another manufacturer's clonewheel (or a VSTi) is in use. In fact, to the contrary, I am quite certain that I do not like this. Perhaps crediting it as "Hammond sounds" or such would be more ethical, although I tend to agree with Bobby (at least I think it was Bobby) that people really do not know nor, for the most part, care what keyboard we are playing.
