No a fans of it
Purchased few years ago and use for few years already,
Firstly it is very stable, never make me trouble and it drop off from the stage to the floor once and i realize it's built like a tank! It still work fine
Well but i am not pleased with the sound, it sound plastic.
I own vintage A100, SK2, SK1, XK3c, XK3, XK3c system, Mojo, B3p, Roland VK8, Nord Electro 3 and i am familiar with clones.
I don't like the sound of the Legend, when it use internal leslie it sound too thin, and it sound too muddy when connect to my 3300. (i have to cut lot of lows) Also note that the 11pin output is very low when compare to the Hammond.
Well, the Legend is not very bad and for it price it worth. But it's not the right broad for me
Also want to mentioned that the user panel of the Legend is really very good! I feel home.

The only Hammond clone that it makes sense to buy
I'm a Hammond organ techician, and as such I am _extremely_ aware how a real tonewheel Hammond sounds, works and plays. I still prefer bringing a proper tonewheel Hammond to my gigs, but sometimes it isn't possible these days, so I just had to get a clone. Tried all I could find, and the Legend is BY FAR the best buy, in my book. There are a couple of others that can match it sound wise, but none at the same price point. The Viscount Legend is an absolute bargain that delivers great sound and actually responds like a real Hammond.
On the downside: the wood parts chip easily, and the painted metal scratches very easily. If it were powder coated instead of painted it would be perfect - but alas, it's not. Also, the output level from the 11-pin Leslie output is a tad too low and does not quite conform to the Leslie standard.

I have two Hamond organ and a Viscount legend live
As mentioned I already have two Hammond organs and still purchased the Legend Live and I must say it's spot on, The sound is amazing and the rotary effect is stunning, You can hear the small horns spin up fast and the lower drum follow. Amazing sound quality and very well built.
Ordered online and it was posted to the UK without any problems and very fast delivery. I'm very pleased.

New organ for me
My previous organ was Hammond XK1, and I've used it for the past 10 years. I upgraded to Viscount legend live, and so far I have no complaints. Sounds really good, better than XK1. I'm running it to Leslie 760, but I've tried the onboard leslie sim with my headphones and it sounds very, very good on slow. You can tell it's not a real leslie on fast, but I could see myself using it for gigs where I can't take the real deal.
What bothered me the most before purchasing was the claims (from some people online) that the action is too stiff. I don't find it too stiff, maybe it's not identical to the real hammond, but the action is just fine. And the trigger point is quite high, so you can play very fast.
If I had to choose one thing that I don't like - it's the blue LEDs. They are quite bright, and I think I'll use a permanent marker to dim them a bit. But it's a minor annoyance in otherwise superb keyboard. 5 stars.

Exceptional Quality
Excellent build quality and sounds indistinguishable from an actual Hammond B3. The drawbars, keys and knobs are easy to use yet will stay in place. Percussion, drive, chorus, vibrato and leslie sims are all authentic.
Two minor cons (not significant enough to impact rating): the music stand that attaches to the top cannot adequately hold thicker books and the instrument is not as portable as I had hoped it was (no handles etc. to move it around easily considering its weight).

This one screams!
Works perfect for rock and blues. The sound is a bit «hard», especially the overdrive feels a bit digital. No firmware update since I got it, so do not expect it to be improved. Currently wokrs best with tall&fat and Mini Vent, unless software updates will arrive one day. The Mojo was more natural sounding, but build quality is much better on the Legend!

awesome sound, fatar keyboard unfortunately
the sound emulation is great and faithful
but the fatar keybed used is too springy and offers resistance compared to the real thing.
the lateral fake wood walls look and feel soooo cheap that makes sense building a proper wooden stand that replaces them.
it might start looking like a C3 then…
the Live version lacks the preset keys, i should have bought the full version instead (first mistake)
the 25 key pedalboard then is too wide for it and its hard to position underneath.
