MightyTonewheel Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 The long-awaited day is finally here. My retailer called me late yesterday to tell me that my new Hammond XK-1 -- which had evidently been lost in transit -- has finally arrived and is ready for me to pick up. I've scrapped my plans for the evening (sorry, Trish) and intend to give it a full workout after I pick it up after work. I'll also be gigging with it tomorrow night. Expect a full review shortly. If there's anything specific you'd like to know, post away. Yay. Chris http://www.myspace.com/mightytonewheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nu2Keys Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Congrats on your purchase. As for your review, I would be particularly interested in a comparison between the XK-1, XK-3, and NE2 as per the Leslie sim and piano tones, that's assuming the B3 sound on the XK-1 is comparable to the B3 sounds on the other two. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe P Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 MightyTw, Congratulations on getting your XK1 (I'm still saving for an XK3). I'd be interested in hearing about the action, and how close it is to the real deal (which, for me, is an M3). Regards, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konaboy Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 there was quite a long thread comparing the XK1 to Electro recently. you might want to check that one out too. my xk1 was a struggle in the beginning. i found the preset system and menus extremely confusing (and still do to a certain extent). took me a while to adapt to the sound too after 5 years with the Electro. now i'm really enjoying it. I use the sound "Funky 2" in the first bank as the basis for all my sounds, that patch seems to have the tonewheels and leslie dialed in just the way I like it. hang out with me at woody piano shack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyClicker Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I bought my XK-1 in Chicago, in a Hammond dealer. My impression, wow... A really great sound! A really great product. The only other clonewheels I know are the VK-8 and the XK-3, and I can tell the XK-1 is great... I do not regret my decision. It is almost half of the price of the XK-3, for the same sound... I wrote a review on it, still trying to find a magazine to publish it [ ]... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyClicker Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I'll try to upload the review soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
