So far since I acquired it, I test ran it through my Line 6 M13 into a 5 watt Crate tube amp. I ran the organ sound through a tube comp, rotary sim and a hall reverb, and it growled like the B3 through Leslie, then I kept the tube comp, but swapped out the rotary sim for a nice trem for that No Quarter Rhodes sound, then ran a couple bass presets through the sub octave fuzz and chorus...wow, but the real kicker was running the strings preset through a high pass filter and had instant Mellotron, pure Prog magic. I'm really a guitarist, so Rick Wakeman I'm not, but I DO have his "Six Wives of Henry VIII" album...does that count? --- On Mon, 11/30/09, richard sales <richard@glasswing.com> wrote: > From: richard sales <richard@glasswing.com> > Subject: Re: OT: Prog Rock in 5 minutes ;-) > To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com > Date: Monday, November 30, 2009, 9:00 PM > I used an FB01 until I moved north. > Used it a LOT for music for video/film!
