I wanted to do a blindfold shootout that compares my Hammond organ to a (good) virtual organ. The Hammond I have is an M-3, the Leslie speaker is a model 720.
I think the slides on VB3 are a give away as the fake. They seem too loud and harsh on the attack. The real hammond seems to soften or compress them in some way?
Wow they are close, at least to my ears. Its a tough thing to distinguish because of all of the settings you can manipulate and not to mention the Leslie speaker seems to me to be such a complex sound. I was going with A at first but then with the music I chose B. Very cool though thanks for making this!
Thank you for sharing! I think be soundest best. this really help me to buy an VB3!

I thought 'B' was the real one. It sounded more 'polished' and richer than 'A'

Even so. I just like the VB3 sound better. I would like to hear the VB3 through a Leslie or even a Neo Vent for further comparison.

I thought the real one was the B option. Sounded fuller and richer to me than the A track. Thanks for sharing that.

Option "b" sounded fuller to me, and actually thought it was the real one. Wow, very impressive!

I thought A sounded a little warmer, then I did a second take thinking the second was it with the key slides. Close tho.
