I have had this unit for 5 years now and I havr nothing but good comments on my tone and hammond sound.

While a B3 could cut your neck with ther high notes, the VK-8m can cut your head clean off so be carefull. close [-]

I love my VK8m, and I'm not really a big Roland fan. This thing growls and/or purrs on cue, and as a one-piece B3 module it stands alone. In fact, Hammond had to resort to a two-piece contraption to c... read more [+]ome close. The VK8m is very expressive and easy to tote. The only faults are these: no leslie speed footswitch option, that cool D-Beam controller is distracting on stage and very often gets triggered inadvertently, and who on Earth really needs the VK8m's "reverb spring shock" sound? These are minor quibbles to be sure considering how great the VK8m sounds. A lot of attention has been paid to the rotating speaker effect and there are an amazing number of options related to it. Using "Active Expression" you can mix in another sound with the organ sound and control it with an expression pedal - perfect for adding horn stabs over organ parts so that both rise in volume realistically. Utterly cool. Besides the killer B3 you can also recreate many other classic organ sounds with the VK8m. There's not much more you could ask for in an organ module and I believe that VK8m will become a classic. I am using the updated OS 2.0. close [-]

I just received my unit and played it thought an Alesis 6.2 61 note keyboard. It took a little to set up and I mean very little. The sound reproductiona nd warmth of tone is so close to a B3 it would ... read more [+]take an expert to hear the difference. I have a B3 and put them side by side through the same 147. Incredible sound. Of course nothing beats a B3 but this does the job and then some. There is only one drawbcak. The brake for fast and slow needs to be on a foot switch. that would keep both hands free to play duel keys. But I also have a Leslie emulator that can't be beat. Hughe's and Ketner warm tube Leslie emulator. Man what a sound I have now. close [-]
