"Great product for the value and functionality."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I am figuring quite a few years more yet as long as parts are available if something does go on it. Things don't last forever regardless of how good the quality. Sooner or hopefully later, the drive motor will need replacing as that is a bigger wear item. It gets used alot and with frequent switching to fast and slow speeds. I am hoping this unit keeps right on working trouble free for at least another 4 years or more. I have had my Korg M1 keyboard for 20 years and it has been serviced only twice. That is a very good average. I would love to see this product have that good of track record.

Sound
I really like the sound on it particularly when hooked to a sound system. I find the high pitched live horn kinda distracting but I understand the nature or the thing.

Features
I like everything but I agree on one thing someone else mentioned that it would be nice to have a fast light on the footswitch as I do isolate the leslie in another area to get away from the distracting live horn sound and like to have indication when the thing is running fast.

Ease of Use
I think it is quite easy and the big thing is sound settings on a mixer board.

Quality
It is made very well. I am in a band and take it wherever I play. I use a voce Micro B and micro B II organ modules. The first one I got crapped out in 3 days but motion sound was very good about sending read more out a new one. I went through BB Organ in mpls, MN. BB Organ has installed a better made cable for the footswitch as it kept coming undone inside.

Value
Yes it is but I don't know the value price of it now.

Manufacturer Support
As I mentioned in section above, the company was very prompt when the first unit quit working in 3 days. I brought it to the attention of BB Organ, Mpls, MN and he got in touch with MS and they promptly sent out a new unit.

The Wow Factor
I think it is great to have a product like this that sounds just like a real leslie but compact enough to make it easy to carry around. It is much easier than hauling around a conventional leslie. I have had it since about April of 2005. I am amazed on how well balanced that horn is.
