Published on 09/08/14 at 08:19I have 4 years a Rhodes MKI suitcase 73th. it is from 1979 (the one with the sliders, so just before the arrival of the MKII)
the amp is really great and perfect in concert (except weight) of the two slider EQ are not bad although treble add breath. The effects loop allows millions of possibilities.
Tremolo is definitely the best of the range. keyboard dynamics is top, hit heavy and not rebound. While on the hammers are plastic so the sound is not very crunchy .. unless you play hard (I'm not talking about volume ... but the strength of the fingers). it is ideal to headphones at nightfall, as donf in beef or live. A little trick to make it sound like a Fender Rhodes before 1976 (introduction of plastic hammers) bringing together micro and tines of a compressor in the effects loop.
Go for it! If you find a Fender Rhodes MKI suitcase, go to hell even faster limitations ...
