dazzjazz Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Hi, While I've used this combo at home for practicing and liked it okay, I used it on a gig last night and hated it. I could not eq it to my liking, either using the Nord eq or the switches on the K10. Perhaps it's the internal sim? Or that and the horrible room I was in? Is someone about to tell me to get a ventilator? Lucky I had my Pro 145 in the car, which I grabbed in the first break. www.dazzjazz.com PhD in Jazz Organ Improvisation.

VegasGT3 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I've used that set up many times with no issues. Did you use a mixer?

mate stubb Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 At least give it a chance in a decent room before you look to dump your rig. Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LX88 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I demoed the QSC K12's with a Numa and did not like the combination. The percussion did not sound accurate, nor did the leslie sim or overdrive. There seemed to be too much high frequency emphasis and no real way to balance it. I use an older pair of EV s12-2's and I get great results with the Numa. The Numa at least does not seem to like "flat" frequency response. I would bet a leslie isn't flat . I would think that the Nord organ might be similar.

dazzjazz Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 I think the K10 is great for piano, but the eq curve is wrong for organ. I might try a ventilator with it. www.dazzjazz.com PhD in Jazz Organ Improvisation. BMus (Hons) Jazz Piano. my YouTube is Jazz Organ Bites 1961 A100.Leslie 45 & 122. MAG P-2 Organ. Kawai K300J.

Jim Alfredson Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I don't see how adding a Ventilator is going to change anything if you think organ doesn't really sound good through the speaker to begin with. You might need to change speakers or add some sort of EQ inbetween the organ and the speaker. Back when I had the Roland VK7, I used to use an ART Tube parametric EQ unit to tame some of the harshness. Keep it greazy!

dazzjazz Posted July 3, 2011 Author Share Posted July 3, 2011 Ah I'll just stick to using my MS Pro 145. Sounds pretty good considering the schlep factor. www.dazzjazz.com PhD in Jazz Organ Improvisation. BMus (Hons) Jazz Piano. my YouTube is Jazz Organ Bites 1961 A100.Leslie 45 & 122. MAG P-2 Organ.

David Loving Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 The very best organ EQ I have is a speakeasy 122AMA. It's pricey but it will make anything sound good. "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
