Subject:Re: Vent or Burn?

Hi y'all,
 
The Burn sounds excellent indeed and it seems to be very versatile. BUT the demos seem to be made with a fantastic vintage Hammond A-100 console organ. I never heard a Vent (I own one and I am very happy with it although in the studio I use an XK-3 through a recently serviced 1981 Elkatone rotary cabinet - it's the "real thing" and there is some kind of complexity which even the most recent Leslie emulations are unable to reproduce) played through an ace vintage Hammond.
 
I like the versatility, but it's the same old fiddling with small LCD screens - and if you do it while playing, clicks appear.
 
What I love about the Vent is: put everything in 12 o'clock position and it sounds just great. I like tweakability BUT I don't like cumbersome late 1980s tweakability (small LCD screen with knobs where you eventually end up in "where was I, how can I save it, how can I go back to where I was"-territory).
 
Plerase show me the Burn through a clone, not a gorgeous vintage A-100 (if I am correct). Otherewise: sounding excellent! Definitely a serious competition for the Vent (which remains a marvellous Leslie 122 emulation with Killer creamy-gorgeous main amp overdrive).
 
Thanks,
Christian
