Picked up a Leslie 18

[GuitarDoc]

I love how the Leslie ramps up the speed (or down) when you click the switch. Almost brings tear to my eyes.

And it is something that most simulators can't replicate well.

thats one of the reasons i really like the h&k rotosphere, the ramp time is really nice. the break control is also sweet

That would be cool if it were much smaller.

 

[jeremy]

yeah, its not small for sure. i dont keep it on a board any more because of that. it has its own little bag with a 18" cable and power supply

Ok, I finally got this thing up and running and it's pretty fun. Need to play it through some pedals to see how weird it can get but so far so good. It really fills up the room with the wobbly sound that a pedal can't do.

Is there something that requires it to actually be that size, like something mechanical?

 

[jeremy]

not really? though its got three switches so it could only be a little smaller without my big clumsy feet clicking something i dont want. especially on a gig, i want a little extra space so i dont have to watch what im doing while singing and playing

 

[Mincer]

So I guess they never reissued it in a more pedalboard-friendly enclosure?

 

[jeremy]

hahaha, no. just the big metal box with a wallwart power supply

Sounds like it is time for a reissue, or some clones to come out.

Jon Lord wish I coulda seen him. I seen 70s footage with him rocking the fucking B3 back and forth(front to back) while wailing on that thing.Pretty impressive.

I've seen him several times. He did that the first time I way him, in Philly in '87. Too bad Ritchie didn't feel like playing that night- he was off the stage most of the night, and when he stepped back onstage, he'd just stand in front of his amp with one note feeding back most of the time.

In a way I envy you to have seen one of *those* shows.

Was Blackmore still using the Dawk modded Marshall Majors in 1987?

It was the white ones he used in the last days of Rainbow through the DP reunion shows. I couldn't tell if they were the Majors from where I was. His tone was great, I just think he didn't want to be there and was pissed off most of the night.

Jon Lord's best playing (that I saw) was at a Purpendicular show ('96), the first tour with Steve Morse. Steve pushed him a lot, and he played lots of notes that night (at the House of Blues, Orlando).

seems like he had a lot of those nights :/

 

[Mincer]

Especially between 84-88. Live recordings at the time prove it.

such a great player, but what an ego
