The way to go is the Pro-3T by Motion
Sound. It actually has a horn that goes
around! It's not just a simulator.
It also gradually speeds up & slows
down with a footswitch exactly like
a Leslie. It's portable & can sit
right on top of your amp. I've used mine
for a few years with no problem whatsoever.------------------

Gene, I hafta say, I was downright impressed with the "organ" tone that Smiley Roberts was getting at the Lee, Mass. show recently. When I asked him how he did it, he said it was straight out of his Profex! This amazed me because I used to have a Transtubefex and the Leslie patch in that sounded really crappy. But Smiley's sounded great! (I know, it's not nice to sit around comparing organs, but...)------------------

I have a Digitech RPM-1 which is a single rack space Leslie simulator. I may not have it hooked up just right as it doesn't sound very good to me. I'd love to see Hughes and Kettner come out with a rack version of their Rotosphere. Best Leslie simulator I've ever heard, but I wasn't running stereo back when I had mine.------------------

I use both in my Transtube Fex. The Jeff Newman Profex II leslie sim programs and one I set up myself using the "RS" (Rotary simulator) effect in the Transtube Fex. |

Gene,
I'm pretty sure Musician's Friend carries
Motion Sound stuff. The best thing about
them is you get a trial period to check
out what you've bought just to make sure
it's what you're looking for.

Gene; The Hughes and Kettner unit was the one I was looking for when I was trying to find out anything on Charlie Hunter. He uses a Rotoshere and that is the Leslie sound I want to have. Not the one on my Tube-fex. The only reason I don't have one now is $$ but a local music store is getting one for stock and I may have a chance to use it on the job as an eval for them.Jack; have you ever posted the settings you use on your Tube-Fex for leslie ? Best Regards, Paul |

I also ended up with the H&K Tube rotosphere. It has the best sound I could find for a stomp box. Its really good. It fits in my pac a seat.The Pro Motion thing is better but it is quite a bit more to deal with than a stomp box.(And a lot less to deal with than an actual Leslie!) The Tube rotosphere has paid its own way through college many times over. It has gotten me gigs,sessions and kept me gigs where the band leader was thinking of going with a keyboard player. I don't use it allot but it comes in real handy. I have not heard any digital multi fx units that even come close to the depth and complexity of the H&K box. Bob |

I found this link with a Leslie simulator shootout. Pretty interesting reading. http://www.keyboardmag.com/features/leslie/index.shtml |

I use my Pro-fex II with a modified setting from Jeff's, but I used to use my DOD 565 Stereo Chorus in the early 80's which worked well.

I love the sound of a leslie but never cared for any of the patches or dedicated simulators. The motion sound folks make a guitar specific speaker along the lines of the old fender guitar leslie, except it is much, much more versitile, and it is way beafier sounding. Especially if you replace the stock speaker with a JBL. It is very light (unless you replace the speaker), very reliable, and completely addictive. This thing is called the SR-112, here's the link: http://www.motion-sound.com/guitar_products.htm .THey have a powered and unpowered version (you drive it with your amp). I like it best in combination with my 'dry' sound. It has a slow setting that is so slow, nobody would even suspect you have it on, it just makes the steel sound BIG. And the fast settings go from B3 range to the rediculous flangy stuff. ------------------

Dan,Can you use this SR 112 as a speaker cab for a gig for non rotating sounds ?
Could it be a replacement for a more standard 12" speaker cab or would I need to use it in addition to my regular set up ? Bob

I broke down and have a Rotosphere coming from eBay. I'm hoping I can find room for it in my rack case and control it with a remote switch.------------------

Oops, sorry for the confusion. The H&K Rotosphere is NOT a rack mount unit. I'm hoping to attach it to the bottom of my rack case and use an external footswitch to control it. I wish H&K would come out with a rack mount version but they haven't as yet.If this works though, I will have a single rack space Digitech RPM-1 Leslie simulator for sale. |

Bob, you could use the SR-112 as a replacement for one of your speakers, but it would either need to be on at the very lowest setting, or you would need to turn the motor off. The footswitch controls completely turning off the speaker and the speed of rotation. It would sound fairly bassy, because there would be a baffle between the speaker and the audience (there are openings to the side). |
