rotating speaker black dog

My version of a Leslie. Here's what to do with an old reel-to-reel tapedeck if it doesn't work anymore. It might not be vintage, but after an hour it sure smelled like it! (the resistor in the lag network for the motor was starting to overheat)

[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 :)

sucks

@Lukehart1953

Let's see what you can do.

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?

[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.

@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

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

[anonymusum]

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

[belizefan]

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

[belizefan]

@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...
