Rock and Roll Organ Lessons : Tips on Leslie Cabinets

[Denigoddess2001]

I love 60s music and it's great to know how the musicians of the day made that special sound. Thanks for sharing.

Why isnt the effect done digitally these days ? Is the analog sound considered purer ?

[MyManDan]

@mrpentium digital modeling does not compare

[jazzzzdude]

@mrpentium With digital effects you can approximate the sound characteristics but you cannot simulate the doppler effect and the varying air pressure. Also the rotating horn throws the sound all around the room. It sounds like the sound is emanating from all around you rather than from a point source. You have to experience it in person to appreciate why there is no substitute for the real thing.

Clapton played the guitar on while my guitar gently weeps.

That Leslie is a 145 & not a 147.

[Afroguy1654]

No it's a 147 because the 145 is shorter and usually the 147 Leslie gives off that buzz

[tinyives]

No, it's def a 145, & any 145/147 Leslie can give off a buzz as they use the same amp.

Someone stole my preamp foot switch many moons ago. I tried making/putting a simple foot switch into my organ setup. Bought some bare essentials for leslie hook up. it creates a loud popping noise every time you switch from low to high speed. Any advise. The last time I priced the preamp box it was $300.00

I know you know this, the speaker does not spin. Newcomers will assume it actually spins.

[TheMadMusicMan]

@merlin5520355 Alright wise guy. Yes, the "speaker does not spin, the rotors spin.

[merlin5520355]

Thanks for responding, I was trying to help those younger minds who haven't a clue to how a leslie works. In the age of advanced electronics there are very few who understand the doppler effect of the leslie. Imagine a 10 year old trying to figure out how the speaker was spinning to create the leslie sound. I'm an artist and inventor,... try to remember this. I hope to create what I call a mega Leslie. It's designed for the big stage. I need contacts to advance the idea. Are you interested?

how did you hook up your footswitch??
