Subject:Re: Amplification options - How loud is the Leslie 3300?

Hello.

I play in a hard rock deep purple type of band, and we play very loud!

But i dont need to push the leslie more than 40 percent to be able to overcome the volume.

And a leslie 3300 on 40%, that is loud!!

The leslie 3300 is like an old muscle car. There is always enought power.

Vennligst hilsen/Sincerely
Tommy Eide
