Spacestation

Is the Spacestation a good replacement for a KC-350?

I've been playing through a KC-350 for years and looking for something new. I play in bar bands, much of the time we're all going into amps with a small PA for vocals, when we play bigger stages or rooms with legit sound guys I'll go direct from the nord and pass through the KC-350.

Having owned a KC-350, I can safely say the SSv3 is a *huge* step up in multiple dimensions: sound quality, volume, stereo effect, room fill, listenability, portability, etc. The differences for organs, EPs and synth/samples are enormous, for APs a bit less. You will *love* the leslie effect on your Nord Electro 3 B3 voices. You will also become a fan of things like chorus, pan, etc. for your EPs.

To be fair, the KC-350 has more inputs and knobs which I never really used.

Thanks Chuck. I've been unhappy with my KC-350 for a long time. It's good to see that there is finally a keyboard amp that people actually like as oppose to tolerate.
