re: #93 Last Mohican

I just googled it. Wow — independent oscillating tonewheels… vacuum tube preamp… it looks impressive. But how’s the digitally-simulated Leslie? I don’t think I’ve ever heard a simulated Leslie that sounded right. Of course, if I had, I guess I wouldn’t have known it wasn’t the real thing unless I was watching it live.

Interesting, the Leslie doesn’t sound right, and Susuki now owns both Hammond and Leslie. They got the Hammond sound down pat, first time in the history of clones, but the built in Leslie simulator is not that good.

I used the XK-3 here in the apartment with a Hughes and Kettner Rotosphere MK II Tube-Driven Rotating Speaker Simulator Pedal, which is the best Leslie simulator I have ever seen.

But remember, the B# did not come with any “built in” Leslie, so the simulator is an added benefit, not really designed to be the end all. The XK-3 has a built in Leslie interface kit to directly plug it into any cabinet Leslie. No external interface needed.

I had to sell the rig, needed money, not playing anymore, you do what you have to.
