Korg C-X 3

[Roy/Keys]

O.K., here's the deal. I've FINALLY gotten myself a vintage Korg C-X3, Hammond sound, realistic "Leslie",the whole deal, Right??. Trouble is, it sounds just like any other cheesy organ with a cheesy "leslie" effect! I've tried various power head settings, as well as different speaker cabinets. Does anyone out there know of the perfect set up, (or close to) to play an origonal C_X3 thru? I do live gigs. Thanx.

I have always felt that the old CX3's Leslie was not very good, and that the new ones had much improved that aspect of the sound. That being said, an old CX3 put through a real Leslie sounds fantastic.

Best of luck,

Yeah, I have an old 147 and it makes the Korg sound GREAT!, but kinda hard to lug around. That's why I'm looking for a little easier set-up. I did get a Tone-Core roto machine pedal which helped a lot, but am still having trouble finding a set up that gives the right frequency response like the 147 does. Thanx.

There are some decent leslie modelers out there. Put your Korg through one of them.
