Zephyr Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 is there any way (or effects pedal) to capture the leslie effect without a recording studio or an organ? Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=810593 http://www.myspace.com/dandelavega Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo. Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Unless I'm misunderstanding, yes, there are a variety of pedals that do. A la Little Wing, no? Now that I've said yes, I'll let the actual owners of these pedals tell you the rest All I have is the 'rotary' option on my multi-effects modeling amp.

marvar Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 There are a bunch of pedals that claim to get that leslie sound, but I've only heard one or two that actually sound like one- my keyboard player in my old band had something, but it was pretty expensive. Sorry, don't recall the name of it. It's almost impossible to get the leslie sound without a real leslie, or something similar to to a rotating speaker. BYW I though Hendrix used a univibe on a lot of his stuff. "Who's gonna teach the children about Chuck Berry?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BYW I though Hendrix used a univibe on a lot of his stuff. I think that this is a pretty accurate statement. I have a Rotovibe that sounds pretty good and will give chorus effect that IMO is along the lines of a leslie. They are not real expensive and are very usable, it might be worth checking into. With a very slight delay from my Danelectro Dan Echo pedal and the Rotovibe, I can nail the intro (sound and tonewise) to Bridge of Sighs--Robin Trower. That will give you an idea of how the Rotovibe sounds. Good luck in your search. Avoid playing the amplifier at a volume setting high enough to produce a distorted sound through the speaker-Fender Guitar Course-1966 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Ellwood Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I use a UltraVibe by Sweet Sound Inc. for that effect. It nails it very well. http://www.sweetsound.com/ http://www.thestringnetwork.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I miss something? I also happened on a CC2 Provibe pedal that looks cool the Captain Coconut2 with Fuzz Face and Octavia in it. Have you tried one of those?

Right, I have the UltraVibe the original release it's larger than the Mojo and doesn use a wall wart, mine has a regular 115 volt plug, Bob Sweet said the the Mojo is the same circut but in a smaller package and is lighter overall. The Mojo sounds pretty much the same but Joe Perry and I prefer the older model!! Did you look at the ArrowSmith link? it's a good one and some hot babes on there too, doing the thong thing!! but anyway yes the SweetSound products are very good! and built like a tank too, mines been in service for five years now and it's perfect and you know it get used allot! http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b48/ellwood1/peddleboards003sesize.jpg http://www.thestringnetwork.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBBPaul Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I have a RotoVibe that I use quite often and it is pretty cool. One of the best and simplest Leslie effects I've been able to get though is by running a Chorus into a Tremolo with the speeds just slightly offset. I use a simple little old DOD stereo chorus with the delay time and depth max'd. This gives a cool kind of Doppler effect. Listen to the break in this tune for an idea of what I\'m talkin\' about.

miroslav Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I'm told by many that the Hughes & Kettner, Tube Rotosphere MKII is de facto the best/most authentic Leslie...without using a Leslie But the damn thing sells new for $400!!! You can find used ones on eBay for about $250-$275. It is most definitely on my list of GAS items!!!

H&K ROTOSHPHERE I listened to the demo and that thing sounds very cool especially on the fast speed. $400 is pretty pricey though.
