Drew White Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 So I bought a Leslie 51C and a Speakeasy 2 piece Leslie (not sure of the model) but I need help with wiring or how to hook it up.. I want to play both of them with my guitar but need help. I don’t have a ton of information but anything works. v/r AW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesB3 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 You need a preamp for the Leslies and ac power. Not sure exactly what you need. Google "Dr. Fishsticks", "Booker Labs" and "Trek II UC-1A" and get in touch with them. Chances are one of them can get you set up. You could go with the old official Leslie Combo preamp pedals but there's a lot of pitfalls there if you're not experienced.

CEB Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I don’t know anything about Conn Leslies so I didn’t post. I assume the pin layout may be unique. Captain Foldback may have a pin layout as a download. This may require a custom piece. Is WesG around? Quote "It doesn't have to be difficult to be cool" - Mitch Towne "A great musician can bring tears to your eyes!!!

Delaware Dave Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Capt Foldback's site is the first place to go. If I recall the 51C has oddball wiring.

mate stubb Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Does the Speakeasy have a tube amp in it with a 6 pin connector? Quote Moe --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
