...if a synthesizer is oscillating in a forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound...?

Depends on the amplifier it's plugged into. :wink:

T1 vs PK5

Post by miamigroove » Tue Jun 09, 2009 12:16 am

I have both a T1 and a PK-5 into a Little Phatty. They are like comparing apples and oranges. The PK-5 is better if you need versatility but if you only need THE "one" Taurus sound you may be OK with the original. However, IMHO the Little Phatty is the BEST ive ever heard (including Plug-ins) for simulating the real Taurus I sound.

I agree. The LP does a very nice Taurus emulation. The Taurus, however, will always sound like a Taurus, and can not really be matched by anything short of another Taurus. :mrgreen:

Keep looking... I had a LP side-by-side to my Taurus I. As a Taurus simulation, the LP comes up way short.
