I'll tell you the rest of the story. There is an epic thread on Keyboard Corner. It's so huge people are referring to stuff that was posted a year ago as Season 4, episode 3. Anyway Aspen got on the forum and mentioned he was doing the Amp show by the Van Nuys Airport. This was strictly a guitar show. That's about 30 miles from me so I checked it out.

He had a band consisting of two guitars, bass and keys with three vocals all going into a mixer going into the SS. No drums or tracks.

The room was roughly the size of a lot of hotel lounges I used to play. Room for maybe 40-60 or so. The volume was pretty loud, so loud they could have been asked to turn down by some restaurant managers I know.

The point of this amp is how it throws a pseudo stereo image all over the room no matter where you're standing. I tested this by walking up to the side of the stage where there was just room to go to the back wall behind the stage and then I walked all along the side wall to the rear corner in the back of the room.

The sound was exactly the same, everybody including the vocals could be heard clearly at the same volume in the whole room. Very impressive. There were no other amps including monitors, just the SS. It was a few weeks later that I drove to his studio and tested it out by doing that vid.

The only thing I noticed with my Hammond was when I played left hand bass. The Hammond has a pedal bass button and pedals on a real Hammond go very low with a growl. The SS could not handle that but the standard bass was ok. For heavier bass you would need a small sub and the SS has a full range sub out plug for that.
