It's actually 2 OP3 in the same box, so a clone Italian Korg BX3. We find the same things then double (zippers, effects, presets) plus a coupling of two keyboards as a classical organ and knob "detune" dsaccorder lgrement for the 2 keyboards. This trick is used to enrich the sound by a kind of natural phasing. The effects are built purely analog TRS correct. Since it was more raliste including imitation of Leslie but "the fact" when same.
A gap: no rverbe for an organ is a bit odd, but there is a mono effects loop which can be insrer rverbe a "spring", real or simulated ( Danelectro Spring (?) or Vermona Retroverb). And "mass is called" ...

UTILIZATION

The use is very simple: you hack the zippers and effects up to get the sound "going well". The presets are useful as enjoyable and to pass a sound instantanment another. Trs and can be reached quickly, a register, however, more rock (Procol Harum) and reggae (the "No Woman No Cry by Bob Marley) and jazz.
As against it should be noted that when not used for a long PERIOD key contacts oxidize and merdouillent .... Nothing serious, just disassemble, it is easy to clean and KF or alcohol brler contact dfaillant.
On the other ct for cheaper than the Japanese were a little on quality lsin media IC and connectors. Clearly, when one hears nothing has comes from. Most of the time just to go back and disassemble the lment (component or connector) for rtable contact. I started my own team of connectors of good quality but there are a bunch ... they do merdent the most is a dj. on the other hand I've never changed a single transistor or Resistors .... since 1983, as what the design is correct.

SOUNDS

"Gross casting" from the Korg its direct competitor, the sound is warmer and less aggressive. Pass in a real Leslie has changed dramatically. Prampli a direct box or a lamp could also do the trick for cheaper and less bulky. In any case avoid excessive force on the treble on the amp ... There is no breath Gnant. Good simulation of analog Hammond organ lamps and tonewheel: even if from the technical chantillonage has a better "fidlitquot;, the spirit is there. Sounds of hell for the rock 70 - 80, reggae or blues!

OVERALL OPINION

Good alternative to the Korg which ignores much more expensive and for which I hsit at the time of purchase. I could compare the two at the store. The sound is trs correct, the look is identical and trs "vintage" normal given the era. And I always .... in running state. Reserved for a little but the worries of false contacts, but appear only when not in use and are easily extended rgls if it knows a little.
