Aussie_Chicago Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 So I played a gig cpl weeks ago . My typical setup is a Legend Live going through a 142 . This particular gig , I needed other sounds so I broke out the trusty sk2 . Brought my speakeasy preamp to run the 142 from the sk2 and luckily a dxr10 for the other sounds. Setup , could not switch speeds with the speakeasy . What to do ? I ended up going direct with the internal sim into the dxr . So, this gig was a private birthday party for the wife of the club owner , turns out their daughter is a great singer in a known national touring band , and had all her bandmates with her. Several of her players and her were really impressed I was using a real Leslie . Did the gig ( Leslie ended up being a stand for the mixer ! ) , and they all came up to me after the gig and said that Leslie sounded so good , such a difference using a "real " Leslie........well, as I said , I used the sim off the Viscount all night. I dont know if the sim is that good ( I dont think so ) or they just got sucked into seeing a real Leslie. I would think not seeing the horns spinning would be the giveaway.....apparently not.

3rdAct Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Seems to work for guitar players too. Yes, a friend of mine knows an AC/DC tribute band that employs a wall of Marshall facades on each side of the drummer. It does a much better job selling the image, and the audience doesn"t seem to notice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuelBLupowitz Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I'm always doing the opposite -- trying to make sure my Motion Sound KBR-3D is backlit so people can see the horn spinning, because otherwise it just looks like a run-of-the-mill keyboard amp. Sure, the sound is what counts, but if I have to carry all that stuff into the venue, I want everyone to know how cool it is! Quote Samuel B. Lupowitz Musician. Songwriter. Food Enthusiast.
