I would guess your set up is better, the RM600 is a "fun" effect for guitar and sounds more like a tremolo. As you know, it is very hard to really duplicate a true Leslie sound. It is fairly cheap. Haven't used it on a stage, just use it for noodling at home. Sorry couldn't be more specific.

This pedal is designed to give the rotary effect for guitar or any instrument with more modern chip technology but you would still have to play in stereo with the speakers seperated to hear the swirling effects through this pedal it does work.

the mod wheel will not give you a true leslie sound...I do have the behringer and it is ok...I mean it's 50 bucks so it's not going to sound like a rotosphere or a quality pedal but it does the job....i would say spend the 50 bucks...if you are a true gear head it would not be the first time you bought something that didn't quite sound like you expected...but if you don't buy it you will never know

I ordered one of these. Worked for about a minute and went dead as a door nail. Returned it and the replacement did the same thing. Ended up buying a Boss RT-20. It's built like a tank and emulates a Leslie beautifully. I play mostly organ in my retro band so the Boss pedal is absolutely essential for keeping the sound deep and lush.

D5 performance n sound quality is superb, I use it with a entry level 3 channel sound mixer and been told it sounds great. worth the money, of coarse it's all about the mixer too, i use a 3 band eq n 3 channel mixer for a usb output on my pc, couldn't ask for anything better

There are a number of synthesizers that work well with the Yamaha WX5. All require "wind-controller" type patches (sounds like clarinet, flute, guitar, sax, etc.) that respond to breath control and pitch bend. The primary creator of wind-controller patches is Matt Traum at www.patchmanmusic.com . I have played/performed with both the WX5 and Akai EWI4000s for 6+ years...it's great fun and you can truly emulate hundreds of instruments and create your own sounds, as well.

The sounds are as described by the last answerer. There are not that many, but you can mix any two of them at once (and split the keyboard additionally) to get some good layered sounds. You can also alter the ambience and reverb to further refine the sounds. All sounds are good, the pianos (which is really what most of use the keyboard for) are quite good. The lack of choices of sounds is a positive aspect in my opinion. You turn it on and just start to play, as opposed to fiddling with a hundred settings, as I find myself doing on my Motif XF. If you need more sounds, the unit has Midi USB and DIN functionality, so the sonic possibilities are endless as a midi controller. The sounds are as described by the last answerer.

Although I have a bass, I have never tried it through the G5...but I was thnking about it just last week. It is possible to get bass like sounds out of a guitar, but its not ideal. I was considering using a real bass to just layer in something with the looper function then switch back to 6 string for overdubs.I see no reason why the effects, EQs, compressors etc wouldn't work fine. I doubt you'd get much mileage out of the amp models and distortion stomps though - or the tube booster circuit. I guess it could be quite creative (with the z-pedal!), or it could be a reasonable tool for tailoring a sound...can't vouch for it just yet though I'm afraid.

The Treble, Bass, FX Level and FX Select control knobs on the Champion 40 actually work on both channels (clean and distortion) simultaneously. The knob settings apply to both channels (which is a slight drawback, but not the end of the world). The Champion 100 (which I also have) has two sets of these control knobs, one set for each channel independently. This means that you can have different tone and FX settings for each channel...and it comes with a foot switch to change channels and turn the effects on or off. The 40 is a good amp for practice or small gigs, especially if you mic the amp. You don't want to crank the volume above about 6-6.5 or you get distortion...it is only a single 12" speaker, after all. But it is still a great little amp! The 100 is definitely better because it is more powerful, it has two 12" speakers, big volume (I have yet to have the volume above 4)...and the separate tone and FX controls for each channel. They handle certain pedals very well. I use a Zoom G1N, an Ibanez Tube Screamer and a Cry Baby Wah. Both amps seem to handle them very well. For the price, they are both great amps for all that you get! And you can never go wrong with Fender!

I love the sound on my Yamaha but I did buy a sustain pedal, otherwise everything sounds staccato. I bought the pedal style, it is heavy so it doesn't move and it resembles a piano pedal. The voices are very good, the organ and string ones especially

The Korg KP3+, is supposed to more up to date effects, than the regular KP3. I have not had a chance to compare the two. But fromwhat I have read, (from others) that it's worth getting the KP3+, for the extra effects

No the circuitry should be the same. The longer shape is worth the extra money in my opinion... depends on what you're looking for. They are great products though and if you contact the maker they are always VERY helpful. In my case my friends kept destroying my power supplies, and they helped me get back up and running. They are a great business and I would recommend these theremins highly. They sound better than the Moog theremin I tried out, more 'natural' in tone whereas the Moog would need a good amp or EQ to sound as good. Just my opinion.

It's better if you just buy it! Trust me, I've been using it for a long time and it's great how confortable it is to use "Maschine" than using the MPD32.On the MPD32 is very hard to push bottons though...Regards,Francisco Perez.

After a little bit of research it does appear that they are releasing the Traktor s4 and s2 with upgrades. WHAT'S NEW FOR KONTROL S4 AND S2?? Not much has changed. The physical layout of the controllers has not changed one bit. It seems that Native Instruments are using the same casing design as the originals. Native Instruments have upgraded the following: Jog wheel Platters made of `aircraft grade' aluminium instead of plastic. Nice touch, looks shiny! All transport buttons are now colourful with 8 of them receiving RGB backlight for visual feedback. Flux Mode button has been added in where the original offset buttons are. (Great Idea, but this can be added to the existing mapping) Other then that, that seems to be about it.

Electro-Harmonix 12AX7EH - Very Good Choice! I did it on mine. You have to wait about an hour of warming up to get rid of the hum and noise, after that it is so good

Hi Dave:I bought this switch for use with the Digitech Jimi Hendrix Expressions pedal so I could scroll through the various models and modes instead of bedning over to change settings (bad for the back). What does the roland Cube 40XL have that would suggest this switch might be compatible (I only have a micro cube, since larger amps are OUT where I live).

I own the Korg Pitchhawk and it works pretty well. I also own a snark, a couple of d'addario mini's, and a Intellitouch rechargeable. They all work pretty well. My favorite (my go to) is an Intellitouch PT10. I own two of them and find them the easiest to use and am pleased with their accuracy
