The pedal artwork was just an attempt to put the Leslie simulation into a familiar-ish housing. Artistic license, if you will. I hope that helps clear things up! Dan Thanks so much for clarifying! This had me confused (as you can tell from my question, i haven’t had a chance to really listen to the demos yet). It seemed oddly specific.

analogika Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 10 hours ago, Steve Nathan said: It's pretty typical with Wurlies to run them through Guitar Pedals. I often ran mine through a Menatone "Top Boost in a Can" for example, and I remember using MXRs and similar over the years. Though I get your point, FWIW, some of us don't care for the Vent. It was never my first choice for a Leslie Sim pedal. What’s your preference? I used a borrowed vent a few weeks ago and found it rather good, but the setup together with the borrowed Uhl HX3 was a bit uninspiring (I hadn’t tweaked the sound at all, though, which makes all the difference, I know).

We sampled it first and it sounded really good, but then we sampled the 140B. It was very clear that the character of this instrument was shining through. You and @cherryDan should release the 200A, as well. If it was very clean and in perfect condition, it would be a perfect compliment to this 140B. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely use a sim other than the ones built into my software plugs, but when I did, I was among the minority that preferred the GSI Burn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashermusic Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I just did something I normally would not do in buying this. Why? Because of nostalgia. In the mid '60's I bought and played a Wurlitzer 140B for several years. It was problematic at times. It was a bit noisy. If you broke a reed and bought a replacement, it would be out of tune, so you would either have to file it down or add bit of solder. I could do neither but I had a good repairman. But I loved it !I learned not to strike it so hard that I broke reeds. When I moved from Boston to LA in 1970, I sold it and bought a Wurlitzer 200. It arguably was better, quieter, easier to pack up and down for gigs, etc. But there was a soulfulness to the 140 B the it didn't quite have. I sold it long ago, which I regret though. That said I have great Wurlitzer emulation with AcousticSamples V-Reeds, Neo Soul Keys, Logic Pro's Vintage piano, and the ones in my two Dexibell keyboards. When I download the demo for this one and compare it, it sounds a bit different, but not night and day from what I can make V-Reeds sound like. So why did I buy it? 1. It's only $39. 2. I love Cherry Audio as a company. 3. When I look at the UI as I am playing, I find myself smiling. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Emm Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 BTW, its a mere 380 mb, a system load so small as to rival physical modelers. I heart tight coding, especially in sample-based instruments. 1 Quote "Let there be dancing in the streets, drinking in the saloons and necking in the parlors!

ksoper Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Just wanted to chime in. Tonight I finally had a chance to install it. Damn, that thing barks. Cuts like a Sawzall through a Taco Bell bean burrito. Incredible work, Mike, and everybody at Cherry Audio. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJoB3 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Good price, small size! Sounds decent too. Equaled by the pricier Keyscape (model 140b) Bang4buck on virtual 200A models is AcousticSamples V-Reed but I think CA's latest can supersede. Also, Dear Cherry Audio Your Pro Soloist is fantastic but PLEASE consider the earlier model (ARP 2700 / Soloist). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
