Hendrix, Clapton, Harrison…. all lugged around the 150 poundsleslie speaker cab just to get the tone that Electro Harmonix have distilled into a pedal. You can now click on and off everything from very bright, funky rotary tones all the way through to dark and haunting “grungy” echos for your keyboard or guitar.
With 5 control dials and 2 buttons that control everything from drive to speed and accelaration this is a flexible, useful pedal that could quickly become a board must have for rigs across the genre’s.
So what sounds can I get?
If you’re playing anything with a prog rock or funk vibe the drive gives you some good high end push. There’s a really nice organ sound when you run a keyboard through it but it gives your guitar a classic rotary tone too.
Here’s what Electro-Harmonix have to say about this pedal
There’s nothing like the sound of a Leslie ® rotary speaker cabinet on guitar.
