What's the verdict on Blue3?

I love to tweak- I still want to try a good HiWatt amp in between the organ and Leslie.

LOL…or a Diezel. Why not download a free amp sim and put it between the Blue3 and the IK? You are running C3 afterall !!

I have a HiWatt sim…may try that when I get time. Preparing for a gig tonight.

That’s what I’m talking about.

@FredProgGH

Just tried Blue3 into HiWatt, HiWatt into Ik. Very nice
Then I tried Blue3 into IK, IK into HiWatt, even better.

Have you tried some of the Blue3 output options, or just direct? Maybe 4x12?

@RackedBrain
Yeah… mentioned this above:

Corky:

I use the M3 tonewheel set, just because I like it. I don’t think the choice of tonewheels is strongly relevant to to the shrillness, as most of them still have varying degrees of it. I set Blue 3 on “direct” in the cabinet section to bypass it’s leslie. The IK Leslie itself, slightly reduces the shrill somewhat, and some of the different models also have a certain amount of mellowness about them. I have great success in reducing the shrill with the EQ page on IK. The High Frequency and High Gain will take the shrill out of it. I do, however, have to set both knobs at about the 9-10 o’clock position to achieve my sound. I don’t feel the need to add an additional EQ on the backside after doing this. Of course, as with guitar tones, Hammond sounds are a personal taste,

Been all over these two plugs for the past two weeks. Really looking forward to version 2.

This fresh from GG Audio:

Just in case you’re wondering, no, we haven’t forgotten about you. Far from it! We’re hard at work finishing up V2 of Blue3 and making it kick ass! #hangontoyourtubes!

Hmmmm… maybe paying special attention to the amp section? Could be interesting!
