I would like to get my hands on an old unit called a "Junior". It was my favorite rotary emulator.

One other feature of the G4 is you can hook up a volume pedal to it to vary the speed.

Another vote for the POD XT.

I can't seem to get a good Leslie sound from my Pod XT. Does anyone have some settings they would like to share?

The H&K RotoSphere really kicks butt! I combine it with a 40% blend of 'power chord' pitch-shifting from the Lexicon MPX-100 to simulate the Hammond drawbars.

I have H+K and PODxt. There is no comparison. H+K is the one. Beats 'em all. It is pricey but you'll love it if you use it all the time. You band will love you.

I couple my H & K to a two button foot switch. one button turns the effect on and off. The other button changes speed. Like the real thing.

I have the Roland GP-100 and it has a Leslie sound. It's not bad with no editing and I only use it on a few songs.

I also had the HK and it nailed the rotating speaker sound, very rich and realistic. However, I didn't have room for it in my rack and the GP-100 was convincing for the few songs I used it with.

Richard-I have a PE Junior, have used it for about 30 years. It gives me a nice B3 sound. It is just a small box, I thinkg it works good for me.......al

Merry Christmas

I've heard good things about the new Line 6 Roto pedal. (Can't think of the exact name). I know of one pro who sold his Rotosphere when he got the Line 6. And it's less then $200.
YMMV.

The Peavey Deltafex and the new Duel Deltafex both feature a "rotating speaker" effect that can be ramped up or ramped down using a one button footswitch(momentary or otherwise). Here is a link to this product from the Peavey website; http://www.peavey.com/products/browse.cfm/action/detail/item/78589/number/18008420/cat/94/begin/1/Deltafex%AE+Stereo+Effects+Processor+w%2F+Power+Supply.cfm

If you have questions, please let me know.

The old Boss Chorus Ensemble units (big, gray metal monsters from the late '70s) work pretty well. John Ely (former Asleep at the Wheel steel guitarist) used one and it sounded quite good. The unit has a vibrato section which is usually set for the "fast" Leslie setting, and a chorus section which is usually set for the "slow" setting. Once these two settings are dialed in, you can switch between them or bypass completely.

A nice feature of the Hughes and Kettner unit is that it slows down or speeds up when switched between speeds -- the Boss doesn't. Chorus Ensembles can be hard to find and pricey, but they work and are built like tanks. I have one, but I use my Leslie 147.

The band is rehearsing tonight and this is kind of inspiring me to get the ol' Boss out!

OK, found it. I got to play with this one. It's pretty amazing. The local player who turned me on to it replaced his H&K Rotosphere with this one:

These guys also make my new favorite delay pedal.

Just got my PEI Junior, works great! Anyone know what the little switch on the side does? JP

Korg toneworks G4....the best but sadly discontinued, but still available if you search hard enough. Just see the look of the audience when it kicks in

Yep, the G4 is the only thing besides a Leslie ever to just floor people - and with two amps it's unworldly.[This message was edited by Jim Sliff on 14 January 2006 at 09:11 PM.]

John Poston · Post by **John Poston** » 16 Jan 2006 12:01 pm

And the thread just keeps going. Seriously, you guys have me drooling over all these cool pedals. I've been wanting to try something like this ever since I heard Curly's 'Wolverton Mountain'!

Alan Cook · Post by **Alan Cook** » 16 Jan 2006 1:29 pm

Yes the Korg G4 Toneworks is the best. I got one off ebay last year, Does anyone have a manual they could/would copy for me did not get one with the unit and there are a couple of thing I'm not sure of. Please email alancook@ntlworld.com If you can help

Jim Sliff · Post by **Jim Sliff** » 17 Jan 2006 8:20 am

Alan, if you come up with one please let me know - I don't have one either, although I haven't had any problems figuring it out. Shoot me a note if you have a specific question and I might have the answer...

This seems to work quite well.........

Never taken it to a gig though. Steel sounds good through it too.
