Oh my, no! The Leslie IS the sound. Always WAS the sound and always WILL BE the sound.
If you have th eoption - use the real deal. No effects needed. The doplar is all it needs to sizzzzzzle !

I would agree if you have a rhythm section, but if you are using your arranger for that (plus other sounds), bone dry everything is a hard pill to swallow for a spinner send... Unless you are in a VERY live room, anyway!

Donny, I'm running all 4 boards into a Mixpad 9 mixer just under the Roland GW-7 on my right hand. That goes into one channel on a Carvin PA head. Then, I line out of the Carvin into a three-channel 100 watt self-contained Carvin with a 12 (main 12's are mounted high on the wall permanently 20-30 feet away-the Carvin is just to the left of the keyboards on the floor for bass and better coverage up front), and line out of that into a small Roland powered monitor on a mike stand. This gives me individual input pads for each board. XB-2 goes into a Motion Sound top Rotor box. Bottom goes into the Carvin 12" three channel.

A Godin nylon string and acoustic double-neck Ovation go directly into the PA as well as two mikes. I sit on a stool in front of the rig to do 2-3 guitar solos a set.

Complicated, I know, but I've been on this job over two years, and everything stays in place. I don't even case the guitars. I just cover the boards, unplug the guitars and turn off the power strips. I sometimes bring in a Zeta Crossover upright to play when a friend who runs the keyboard department of a State University sits in. I plug the Zeta into the self-contained three channel Carvin, and he uses an 88 note controller and my old Yamaha tone generator for grand piano sounds.
If this fellow brings his drummer and bass player after a local job, I switch to an L-5 or Parker fly through a Fender Super Champ, lined out into a PA channel.

Lots of friends come buy to sit in, and I can accomodate almost anything that comes along this way,including horn players (what fun!) with the addition of a spare mike or two.

That's it!

To be honest, especially with all those sliders sticking up like that, I wouldn't recommend a bag. Get a hard case, if you can. Sooner or later....

Russ kool set up for sure.....any pics?

Donny, I won't have my G-70 until next week. I haven't installed my two new Rolands...waiting until I get the new one. Right now, I'm using the XB-2, the MS-60, an old Yamaha tone generator and a controller on that house job... Not sure how long the learning curve on the 3 Rolands will be, but I plan to install the new set-up in early September. Then, I'll have two permanent set-ups, plus the B and Suitcase at the Country Club. My "one-nighter" rig will be a Midjay and controller. I'll report on progress every once in a while. Dave saw part of the old set-up when he was here between Christmas and New Year.
