Unrealistic. Fine for the 3' separated internal speakers, but a 20' wide Leslie? Leslie NEVER built one of those!


Most Leslie sims through mono sound worse.

Reduces the thing to sounding like a guitar amp tremelo in some cases.

I don't place my keyboard stereo speakers at either side of the stage, though, they are both right behind me, on stands. For larger stages, I do point them as much as 190 degress out to either side, but still right behind my head. They are back to back and pointing sideways as far as the audience is conerned when I do that. Most of the time, I aim them slightly outwards at about a 37 to 45 degree angle, though.

Leslie simulation is rather nice this way.

And I HAVE to have good Leslie, having used the real thing for too many years.

At the end of the day, no matter what anybody says, the Leslie is a spatial effect. I needs me some Doppler.

Diki,

Thank you very much for telling me why I don't care for the G70 HBs. I have tried and tried but in the end I just don't like them. One of the reasons I bought the G70 was I thought the HBs were supposed to be tops. I thought the Leslie sim was supposed to be very good also but again it leaves me wanting. Thanks for the explanation.

Tom
