I currently have no need to replace my XK-3 system. It does everything I need - easy to use, sounds great, looks authentic. People will literally walk upto me between sets and comment how great the B3 sounds!
Sound
The XK-3 System is a great concept. I use an XK-3 system for gigging and recording. The system sounds totally authentic and has a real authentic feel. Sounds best when run thru a real leslie, which is what I use. The sound and feel totally blows away all the other keyboards that I have used for organ, except of course my real B3 which never leaves the house. And even compared to my real B3, the sound of the XK-3 is so close that I never would think of hauling out the "beast".
Features
Does not include an expression pedal. I recommend the EXP100F, which has a fast/slow leslie switch on the side.
Ease of Use
Turn it on and your rolling. The preset sounds are excellent and changing presets on the fly is simple. Minimal learning curve.
Quality
The only reason I don't give the XK-3 a 10 for quality is the Ei tubes... Dump 'em and get a pair of vintage 12AX7's.
Value
Compared to the cost of a real B3 the XK-3 systemis a steal.
Manufacturer Support
I once called Hammond-Suzuki for an explanation of a program function and they were super to deal with.
The Wow Factor
Looks great on stage. Absolute joy to play.
