Hey Russ, I'm dying here. I'd love to hear more feedback on your initial impressions of the C1. Such as; do you find the on-board 'leslie' good enough to gig with? Have you found that magic non-leslie speaker system that SOUNDS like a leslie with the on-board sim.

I'm still looking for the 'perfect' (non-leslie) speaker system (C1 only). At the moment, I'm using a Mackie 808S with two older Cerwin Vega's with 12" woofer+horn. I like the stereo coverage but don't like the sound of the rig. I'm torn between replacing the C-V's with 12" or 15" EV's OR, waiting for the new Roland SA1000 that's supposed to be optimized for organ (whatever that means). I'm going to wait until I can hear one before I decide (look it up on the Roland site). I'm thinking maybe I can get away with just one. I guess you'd consider it a powered unit but since it's a two-piece unit, I'm not sure how different that would be from sitting my 808s on top of a good unpowered speaker (except for marketing hype). Anyhow, the fun is in the hunt.

Have you inserted the C1 into the rotation yet, or are you still experimenting? Inquiring minds want to know .
