I also have Native Instruments B4 on the NeKo, so I will be able to add nice Hammond sounds, too. Should be really cool once I get all the complexities worked out.

Another advantage of still using the pedalboard is that I will have a backup in case the NeKo crashes! So far it has never done this, even when I beat on it pretty hard for four days at the NAMM show. But I'm still paranoid that it will...
