RichyB3

LX88 I used to carry a Diversiduo along with a 145 Leslie to every gig but I have been so impressed with the Leslie Sim in the HX3 that I have stopped taking the 145. My big complaint about clone organs in general is always about the tube sim and specifically the varying degrees of overdrive I can use depending upon the situation. Sometimes I like to go for a Jimmy McGriff all out throaty overdrive other times I prefer a cleaner sound. I still think there will never be anything like the real thing but the digital technology has improved dramatically in the last couple of years.

LX88, The proper codes and updates must me installed in the HX3 for it to work properly. I actually agree with you about the chorus/ vibrato issue but the latest update has done a lot to address this problem and you can make adjustments in the unit to tame down its brightness to your liking. As far as the Mojo and Numa go I've played both and I'm not as impressed with their sound but to each his own. Keep on Organ Grinding, Rich RichyB3 Budesa!

Bill, The latest update is a significant improvement in the Leslie simulation, overall balance of the sound of chorus vibrato in my opinion! Enjoy, Rich Budesa

Welcome to the forum. and thanks for the update. Thanks Dave let's help each other make great music, Rich Budesa!

FYI - A large number of the people buying the HX3 are using it with either the XK and SK series keyboards. If I remember correctly Rich Budesa has not only one of our Diversi Duos, but and SK and a Nord. I think if you read most of the posts in regards to the Vent it becomes personal choice. Rich stopped using his Vent. Cheers, Tom Tuson Tom, The Hammond Sk1 works marvelously with the HX3.The draw bars tracked well with the unit as well as the percussion and the chorus/vibrato. You can also save the Leslie speeds on different presets, which worked well for me in certain situations. There were some issues with the tracking of the Reverb and tube overdrive settings which I choose to not touch or fiddle with in live performance. Overall I think the Sk1 is a great match for the HX3. Thanks for all of your help Good Brother, Rich Budesa (RichyB3)

What's up Lx88? RichyB3 here (Rich Budesa from Philadelpia) I am the owner of your original HX3. I was there at Diversi the day your unit came in for servicing there was absolutely nothing wrong with the unit. I stood there with Tom Tuson while he checked every aspect of the unit and he could find nothing wrong, except possibly for the used disposable razor that you shipped in the box with your unit??? Because Tom is such a stand up guy he sent you another brand new unit. After playing your unit for about an hour I purchased it and have been using it on a nightly basics ever since. With all do respect Sir your posts and criticism about the HX3 are inaccurate. I am a professional keyboardist who performs on a nightly basis and I have had absolutely no issues with your unit! I make a living performing and depend on the my gear to work and deliver for audiences and I have had nothing but possitive feedback regarding your HX3. In my humble opinion The HX3 is the best tone wheel clone on the market and the most affordable and accurate simulation of a Hammond B3 and Leslie speaker.
