0:00 The Leslie Speaker (My Thoughts and Opinions)
9:44 High Quality Audio Samples of the Leslie Speaker 910 With Hammond organ
So you are wanting a real genuine Leslie speaker. That's great! Here's my two cents about owning a Leslie Speaker in 2024 and what it means for the user in terms of space requirements, maintenance and a few other less obvious points. I share a few of my opinions about the sound of a real Leslie Speaker, some abstract "experiential" thoughts about being in proximity to a true Leslie Speaker as opposed to a rotary speaker simulator such as the Strymon Lex or Neo Instruments Ventilator II. Please keep in mind that these are merely my opinions being the lucky prick to own such a beautiful Leslie Speaker (910). I still love the Ventilator II and the T-Racks Leslie which are my preferred simulations when playing live or recording in a pinch scenario where I don't have access to my recording studio.
The combination of Hammond organ and Leslie Speaker I consider to be the apex of sound in any case. Whether its a Stymon Lex or a Fender Pinwheel or even simply a Boss RT20 and a Casio keyboard. Your organ and rotary speaker effect is the best and screw what I think, its all for the love and pursuit of that classic sound no matter what!

Another consideration/ option for a Solid-state Leslie is the 760; I've had mine since 1976 and it still performs well, and has wheels which makes portability less of a problem. Love your chops!🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹
Absolutely, the 760 is a great Leslie. Not surprised at all that yours is still going strong, they’re tough cookies. Had one years ago and very regretfully sold it. Thank you!
Hammond tone generator oil and Leslie motor oil are NOT the same. Please do not use interchangeably. Use the correct oil. great video! Cheers!!
Thank you for clarifying. I’ll definitely get some Leslie oil.
I've got an old 145 and a 16, and I just love playing them, but when I record these days i use amplitube. I can get as good or better RECORDED sound with it and make the spread as wide or as narrow as i want and it's great. Not the same as that visceral in the room sound with the real thing...so just depends on what you want.
Amplitube is great and yes, agreed. Its getting to the point where the only difference will be the user's awareness of the mechanical Leslie being in the room. Exciting time it is for effects!
So damn cool! I love it! My EHX Lester G will have to do for now.
Quite right, love the sound of a rotating speaker/baffle. My Father made me a couple for guitar work. Just fills the room like nothing else.
Thank you and yes, Its a one of a kind sound.
I’m a guitar player.
I’d love to take a 122 to a gig.
Try taking a Leslie to a gig.😳😳😳😳🥺🥺🥺🥺😪😪😪😪
The Neo Vent ll, is the best sim pedal made.
I use a NUX Roctary.. it’s better than all other Leslie pedals.
I really like your sound and what you’ve chosen to play.
Yes, it would be an ordeal having to take a real Leslie to a gig. They are bulky heavy, and sometimes unpredictable. Thank you for the comment.
Parting out 63 or 64 Leslie rotary and other odds and ends. Anyone interested?
Video too dark. Can't see anything well.
Thanks, sorry about that. It’s just me at the moment doing the filming and everything else, i did notice it was a bit dark towards the middle of the video. Still working on the lighting.
I will grab a 145 at some point, used to run a 760 (solid state) for years, stopped playing for about two decades, marriage etc. and now 5 years after the divorce I'm back again, though not aiming for pro-work this time, just keeping it as a nice passion/hobby thing instead. But still, yes, can't beat a real big blowing box o your neck!
Right on man! More power to you and yes, that wind is a beautiful thing especially in summer😎
Which Hammond Organ is that? I notice it has the diving board keys.
Thanks, this is my Hammond H111. It blew up on me a few years ago so I gutted it and rewired it to run on a ceiling fan capacitor and modified for direct sound from the matching transformers. In this video I explain more about how it works. ua-cam.com/video/JgSwtt6H-zI/v-deo.html
Thank you for letting me know.
Josh, what would you say is the best Leslie speaker application for guitar? Would you simply drive these speakers with any amp? I've only had experience with the guitar combo amp they came out with around ten years ago, but have since discontinued.
Hey man, thank you for the question. In my opinion, Leslie speakers like the model 825 which are monoral (1 speaker and one baffle) offer the loudest and most intense effect for guitar because it doesn’t rely on a crossover which has to divide the incoming signal between the horn and bass baffle in a typical Leslie. That is the downside to my 910 because the crossover sends the low frequency signals only to the bottom rotor while it sends only the high frequencies to the horn. This gives the sound separation but also a significant drop in volume unfortunately. For instance if I was to run the guitar through the 910 it will divide the signal between the two rotors but for guitar I’d rather have it go through a single bass rotor with the signal intact and undivided. That’s my preference for guitar. I have an old internal Leslie I salvaged from a Wurlitzer that I want to rig up for guitar but it’s a hassle to get the wiring correct. Thanks man, hope you are well brother.
Yes those combo preamps are very hard to get now. A clean Fender tone would sound amazing, even slightly driven.
The 900 series are the worst Leslies
Mine works and sounds amazing. Having owned a 147 and a 122RV in the past, I find this to be a great Leslie. Would you care to elaborate?
