Hello Joe,
Yes, I am out there! Sorry to hear of the vandelism. You may have good luck
in gitting what you want from Matt Niell----Phone--503-645-5222 or
503-642-3564 0r 503-313-5048 cell. He has amps and speakers that may
work----however I suggest that you use the new speakers and amps from
Rodgers. Also your 33E will sound more realistic if you put a RSS unit on
it. This unit is a room synth. not a reverb unit. When playing the organ
through the unit with small settings it adds the effects of space and works
with chambers better. Just a thought.
Best regards,
George.
