The Nord Electro 3 played through a real Leslie (model 415, solid state from the seventies) plays really beautifully!

Surprise at the end of the video :-)

  • may I ask what type of volume pedal are you running? and is that leslie know as an "A" cabinet?

  • @EasyStand IIRC, the pedal is a Roland EV-5. Not sure what you mean for type 'A' cabinet... It is a Leslie 415, Rotosonic type, solid state with 12 inch woofer.

  • It sounds great. What do you use to connect the Nord Electro to the Leslie? Does the 3 version come with a pin cable?

  • @danicrazyfingers I built a simple jack-to-11pin adapter. It's a passive adapter that just requires some wiring. The mono input signal jack conects to pins 1 (hot) and 4 (gnd), another stereo jack is used to switch speeds through pins number 6 (common), 7 (fast) and 8 (slow), and pin 5 has to be connected to pin 6 in order to power the Leslie on. The Electro 3 has only 1/4" jack outputs.

  • woooo! man you took be back to the old days..

    and im only 19 ha

  • Aw baw, u know you ain't playing that music. No doubt the track your playing along with is saved in the NORD, but c'mon man. Stop it.

  • Hi, I'm a real novice to these things. We have a Nord Electro and a spare Leslie, and I would appreciate if you could explain to me in a layman's language how you connected your Nord Electro to the Leslie and are able to determine its speed. My e-mail is yjk316@unitel.co.kr If you could send a diagram or a simple drawing that would help greatly. Thank you.

  • @zioguido Hello, do you have a drawing of this adapter ? what footswitch do you use ?Thank you in advance!

  • It sounds great! What sound did you use for the "Echoes" thing? An acoustic or an electric piano? I found that, for the high note (it's a C) a rhodes sounds better, but for the rest of the notes the acoustic piano is more suitable. Cheers!

  • Dude. Everyones commenting on your gear and your set up... and yes thats all well and good clearly. But let me point out that those are some tasty licks your playin! Finger lickin delicious!

  • i hope you have the onboard leslie on stop right now :D
