rotating speaker black dog

[platter4]

can you please do a video of just a few chords to get the real effect of the spinning speaker

thanks

[QuiltedPine]

@platter4 OK I'll see what I can do. since that time the belt has stretched and consequently the dish doesn't spin anymore... I'll have to fix that first.

any particular chords you want to hear? lol :)

[platter4]

@QuiltedPine na just long chords like bar chords and maybe some open chords or just some grooves ya know

[dimebag975]

The real trick is to use the lesile as a texture over top of ur sound, so run it with a another speaker cabinet

[anonymusum]

for demonstrating the Leslie effect you should have played something totally different

[Lukehart1953]

sucks



[QuiltedPine]

@Lukehart1953

Let's see what you can do.

[belizefan]

hey man this is great! did you draw up some plans? if so could you post em?

[patsaxon]

You must be very careful as Hammond Suzuki has the patten rights to the Leslie speaker. If you display this unit in public or sell it to someone, you could be infringing on US patten laws and you could be sued by Hammond Suzuki with out having a license to produce such a product with out permission from Hammond Suzuki.

@patsaxon - relax, as long as he's not making a profit he's fine. be sure to finish up those last two years of law school...

[MichaelLozano12]

@patsaxon Dont patents only last for 17 years (or 34 if extended) im not sure. Thats what ive heard...

[tgraham76]

nice speaker, check out my battery operated one made from dumpster finds.

[Sc0ttPrian]

@tgraham76 lol

Trick with the "Black Dog" solo is that he did use a Leslie on the recording-but he used the slow setting.He sused the fast setting on "The Wanton Song" and "Good Times,Bad Times"...

[QuiltedPine]

aha, well, that's good to know but, since I am using parts from an old reel to reel tapedeck, I can'T change the speed of the AC motor, short of having a variable frquency drive or some kind of mechanical dual-idler wheel system, which I didn't have. In any case, you have good ears to detect that!

I can't hear a leslie on "Good times bad times"... what?

[garbeaj]

The solo and outro lead guitar on "Good Times,Bad Times" was done with a full speed Leslie...

[Rotarded705]

holy shit, see, i've been listening to zepp for years, and i honestly thought the first album was all tele and that supro amp jimmy talked about, but once you mentioned it, that warbly sound on the solo of good times bad times makes sense. No wonder it was so hard for me to nail the tone lol

[garbeaj]

I'm always discovering stuff like that...alot of "I could've had a V-8" moments:)

[highart2003]

That's pretty sweet dude

[daftweebrush]

Failed.....next

[QuiltedPine]

Really! And what's "failed"? Might I add it's still running twelve years down the road...

[daftweebrush]

ok u asked. Theres no slats. Just one big openen therefor reducing the doppler effect. The whole point of a leslie is to throw the sound out everywhere. Its only a top. wheres the bottom? Do u turn down all the bass and treble when u play thru an amp? But most of all ur playin stinks.3 valid points i think. Well done that u tried to build one but u missed the point, therefor failed. Cant belive that u admit to have been tryin to play for 12 years.

[christianwillis]

Okay that's harsh, you shouldn't knock someone else's playing. But you do have a valid point about the lack of slats. All Leslies have openings on four sides; that's the only way you're going to get that true sound.

[GizGunnar]

Yup, all that work and no vibrato.

Hi

I made some rotating speaker cabinets too - mine rotate the speaker itself, on a flywheel like a potter's kickwheel. The cureent to the speakers goes through some vacuum cleaner brushes and then into two copper bushings on SS shaft.

Also made one that rotates a big 15" speaker "vertically" too.

type in fuckedtones on youtube and you can hear it but no videos of it yet.

small leslie "spinet organ" rotating speaker cabs are supposed to work great for guitar players to use.

[jwwetzel]

hmm, i might have a summer project..

[jwwetzel]

that was awesome!!
