The new 302 or another 11-pin Leslie.

You are not crazy!  As I said before on this board, the 860 is a GREAT
Leslie, with factory JBL drivers.  It is one of the most requested, and most
expensive Leslie's in the used market.  Your overdrive function through the
wheel on the XB-2 has to be initiated in the software.  Make sure is is not
"OFF".   What version software do you have?  Take the cover off the XB-2 and
look on the two large chips against the back wall of the keyboard.  They will
have stickers with a software version number on them.

Couldn't have said it better.  EVERY keyboard should have any effects turned
off when used with a Leslie.

You're going to make people cry with that.  Tube amps have always delivered
the best sound. You're a lucky man to have them both.  On some of my pro
organs, I wire them to handle several models of Leslie's simultaneously.
