A sound clip is worth a thousand words. http://rapidshare.com/files/445944347/b4vb3t3.mp3 Listening to this sample, I find the sound of the heavily overdriven tube Leslie thick, creamy, pleasant (obviously thanks to its imperfect, aging, 70 years old flawed design). The modern digital impostor sounds harsh, ugly, irritating (although its creators certainly believed otherwise). Both represent distorted sound. But I reckon that they might sound more or less the same to very many people. Yes, one man's dirt...
