Please tell me what you think about the sound. I'm after "the Herbie sound", and I think I'm close.
I'll give details about the setup later, if you want.

I really like your Rhodes tone, well done! I'm also curious to hear what type of setup you used for this? :)

Agreed, fantastic tone.  I'd love to know your setup.

Hello,

Thanks for the kind words.

I recorded it directly from the Janus Outputs on the suitcase, and used a CryBaby Wah on treble position and a Zoom 505 pedal with a little reverb connected to the effects loop inserts, on the preamp.
Treble was on 2 (it goes from -5 to +5) and Bass on 4.

M-Audio Fasttrack Pro to convert it from analog to digital ( I used the two front inputs for stereo), and cooledit pro 2.1.

The most important things for this tone were, of course, tine adjustment, but most suprisingly for me, the pedals. I had it recorded some time ago without them, and they brought some major improvement.

Hope this helped.
