My Elkatone 700 decided to die on me, so I need a Leslie simulator. Any recommendations? It must have both a great clean and distortion sound. I'm a rock organist so it must do well under high gain in FOH monitors.

Re: Leslie sim recommendations?
It's larger than most pedals, isn't cheep and can be a little noisy but I have yet to find anything I like better than a Rotosphere except a real Leslie.If you just read a post by The Guy Who Invented Fire please understand that opinions change, mind sets change and as players our ears mature...not to mention our needs grow and change. With that in mind, today I may or may not agree with the post you just read!

I actually never wanted a Leslie sim but ended up buying my dad one as a gift...tried several and just kept coming back to the Roto. Once I gave it to him I found myself missing it so much that I bought another one for me!If you just read a post by The Guy Who Invented Fire please understand that opinions change, mind sets change and as players our ears mature...not to mention our needs grow and change.

Re: Leslie sim recommendations?
i love my rotosphere! using two amps makes it sound even better. i use two 1x12 fenders one on top of the other and it makes me smile every time. until i have to load it out at the end of the night after the gig

I use it in stereo quite a bit, it really shines like that but its good even in mono.If you just read a post by The Guy Who Invented Fire please understand that opinions change, mind sets change and as players our ears mature...not to mention our needs grow and change.

I guess the big difference is in the breaker switch...on the MK I if you want to "stop the rotors from spinning" you have to hold the breaker switch down and when you left your foot off it "starts back spinning"...on the MK II you stomp it to slow down to a stop then stomp again to re start...
I have heard folks swear up and down that the MK I sounds richer, fuller, smoother, more organic, fatter, more lush and all sorts of other BS buzz words...I'd guess the feelings that the earlier version is in some way better is fueled by the simple fact that it's no longer made.If you just read a post by The Guy Who Invented Fire please understand that opinions change, mind sets change and as players our ears mature...not to mention our needs grow and change.

Re: Leslie sim recommendations?
my buddy has a mk1 and i have a mk2. there may be a difference but its so damn small neither of us can really tell. especially if you start tube swapping (which has a minimal but noticeable effect over all) the 2 has trimmers to adjust the fast speed of both the high and low rotors and the trimmers are accessible from the outside of the unit with a small philips screwdriver. there are trim pots inside but i havent messed with them in so long i couldnt tell ya what they do
