I found a nice workaround for coming close to a Leslie sound with a combination of the tremolo of the Strymon Flint and the Providence Anadime Chorus in univibe mode, works surprisingly good :)
I bet it sounds great! The flint is a wonderful tremolo. I’m not familiar with that chorus but using the univibe setting with the flint sounds like a great idea.
Really nice video! Since there are dedicated pedals for this kind of sounds, I think that for most people the big question is how to get close enough with what they already keep on the board. Even without the chorus, a Harmonious Monk can get really close to both slow and fast Leslie-like tones in my opinion. Adding a touch of a nice spring reverb to it (I’m using a Surfybear Compact) gives it that extra depth and air that you expect to hear. I sometimes add a compressor to the mix to tighten it up when I’m going for that faster Leslie effect. A killer tremolo! On top of that it can get very vibe-y and it does those 2-stage MXR Phase 45 tones very well too. Very versatile and musical.
The harmonious monk is definitely a cool pedal that can cover a lot of ground. I bet it sounds great with the Surfybear, I would love to check some of their stuff out someday.
Yeah man! That Floyd thing! I use a Vox Tremolo tube driven pedal, you dial in the perimeters for each side, slow and fast, hit one switch, slow, hit the other switch to fast, and you hear it speed up or slow down when you hit the switch again, it sounds like a Leslie...I paired it with an EVH phase 90, awesome Floyd tones. Great for 4 piece blues band. I'm trying to get the B3 chorus-ey vibe for my Rhythm Guitar parts. So the chain is guitar > EVH phase 90 > Vox Tremolo > in front of the amp.. gigged it a fair bit and I'm happy with. Still after a real Leslie though lol Cheers, love your work
That definitely sounds like it would get the job done! We did the pulse pedal by Dawner Prince and it nails that Gilmore thing, although different from a leslie style pedal. There are so many good options out there! Thanks
SLow => phaser / univibe Fast => tremolo + chorus/flange Combining fast and slow in one pedal or combo is hard. I'm in the process of studying leslie effect and the why behind my suggestions is within the way the different effects get dominant. Fast leslie has a pronounced own oscilation sound. This where tremolo helps and an effect which focusses on pitch change -> chorus (flanger). Slow leslie has almost no tremolo effect because it is imply too slow. Here the filtering is more pronounced and difference between high an low tones. That is exactly where a phaser works best. But both are not the real deal.
An excellent slow sound is definitely harder to fake. We have done a ton of rotary pedals and there are some really good ones, but there is nothing like the real deal. That said, when you balance the weight and space some of the rotary pedals take up verse the real thing they get close enough. :)
@PJandtheBeardT he Strymon Lex is 'supposedly' the only one that has a proper slow speed. Btw, most of the people who try to get that sound almost always used a chorus pedal, as it had that top end and didn't sound like a vibrato pedal. Even when the first pedals came out: Ironically, the Roto Machine that you guys featured a few years ago, there's a lot of nit picking going on as to the speeds, speaker emulation, and overall tone. I personally thought the Roto and the RT 20 were excellent and I still own the Roto, although I have an Electro Harmonix Lester G that is, to me, otherworldly.
Great demo! My dad was an organist that used hammonds and Leslie's. I was around age 13 that I played direct into a Leslie. The Leslie is neither a tremolo or a vibrato although probably closer to a tremolo. The Leslie is more of a stereo chorus due to shifting the sounds in a circular motion as such as using two amps to capture the effect more authentically for stereo. The ramping is also recommended. I personally find tremolo and chorus together give the best non stereo effect as you demonstrated but with less depth. A Leslie is more smooth.
Just an approximation. So are the leslie pedals. I can tell from your comment you know there is nothing like the real thing in the room! Still fun to play with.
Years ago my keyboard player had two 147 Leslie's that I souped up and I played with them by myself in my home studio. Your right you will not be able to get the exact sound. However There are three distinct sounds that make the Leslie sound. #1 on the I47 the horns and the bass barrel spin in the opposite direction which gives the out of phase sound weather it is spinning fast or slow. #2 The driver in the horns on Leslie's go through an brake in period when they are brand new they have an hard sound but when they brake in they develop an distorted grind that sticks out in the mix.#3 This characteristic is dynamic in nature and adds very much to the elusive sound.The bass barrel dose not stop dead at any time from what I remember. It ramps up and down in speed. The horns however do come to a sudden corral when it drops to the slow speed. The combination between these three characteristics of the Leslie makes this sound a hard sound to copy.There are three Pedals that I know of that dose come close but no cigar. Thank you for Sharing your findings. c];-)
I bet those two 147’s sounded incredible. You’re right. There is nothing like the real thing! There are some great pedal board friendly options though.
I thought while watching this that 3 pedals might do a leslie best. Some sort of great chorus, a tremolo, and an expression pedal controlling the tremolo. You get the swirling motion sound of the tremolo cutting the sound, the 'liquidy' sound of the chorus, and expression of the speed transition from fast to slow and vice-versa
Very cool, loved hearing all the different ways a Leslie type sound can be achieved. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Univibe was created to emulate a Leslie, but became it's own sound. You mentioned the thump created by the tremolo, and I don't know if you've heard the thump from the Shiftee Univibe or the full size version called the Unique Vibe by same company, but it's the ultimate IMHO. Lovin' the videos, guys, please keep 'em coming.
You know I thought the same thing about univibes. I had a chat with Josh Scott when we were planning this series and said that to him and got corrected. He was kind enough to tell the story for our series. I’ll link the video below. I’m not familiar with Shiftee and will definitely check them out. A series on vibes is the bucket list series for me but we are waiting while we grow the channel and figure some stuff out so we can do it right. Glad you’re liking the videos. -Jason ruclips.net/video/cqA_GJEiajI/видео.html
The Voodoo labs vibe is the best, been using it for that for 20 + years. I even bought a back up. The other good one is the Way Huge chorus you can get are good leslie tone that is great with overdriven tones.
If you decide to purchase a flanger, I recommend the Retro-Sonic Flanger, it's a perfect recreation of the holy grail vintage Electric Mistress with a better noise floor. It's actually my favorite chorus, even though it's known as a flanger. Looking forward to the next one, cheers!
I think the rotary mode on the md500 is great for mono players And combination of the tremolo P and the dimension Chorus on the same pedal is great for stereo rotary emulation
Zoom 9001 multi-effects processor, patches 33 and 34 -- if you can find one that still works. No ramping up and down, but does that Gregg Allman organ solo thing amazingly. Some other nice patches, too.
Great video! I really like flanger for faux-Leslie-pedal sounds better than most chorus pedals. Before I got my Boss RE-20, I used a Boss BF2 for a long time. My EQD Pyramids Flanger does a really nice faux Leslie as well. Not all flangers sound the same; The EHX Electric Mistress and clones are great flangers but don't do the leslie thang IMHO. Thanks for the video!
I’m considering a Leslie simulator (on a budget)….but I have a Fulltone SupaTrem (which has HUGE easy turn knobs for the foot and hard/soft and fast/slow switches), a chorus pedal, and a phase 90. Am I wasting my time trying to find a suitable rotary pedal when I could possibly create as good of an effect with those pedals? I’m new to trying to achieve Leslie sound, so I don’t know. Honestly, I’ve never even done a whole lot with modulation outside of a subtle trem and some light modulation built into my delays and reverbs. I just want to get somewhere near the tones Danny Gatton was able to achieve, and maybe create an organ sound if I get an octave pedal.
If it is the fast leslie sound you are going for a lot of chorus pedals can get real close to that. I think John Scofield’s leslie sound is a chorus with a high speed setting. We did a couple videos on the mxr poly blue octave recently. That pedal would get you the leslie and octave sounds plus a good bit more. The MXR Poly Blue Octave Pedal - That Leslie Sound Series ruclips.net/video/97W_O9gqb94/видео.html
looking to buy a chorus pedal and combine it with a big muff to get something sorta similar to the droney bass (or organ/leslie speaker) part on the intro to Metallica's Orion. I suppose it'd be higher register because I'm using a guitar, not a bass, which is ok. Which one would do the trick without having to break bank too much?
Not real familiar with the tune but I just listened to it. Almost sounds like there might be a tremolo in there too. So many chorus pedals out there and we haven’t really dived into them. The MXR micro chorus is cheap and I think it is great. Super simple with only one knob too. I wonder if the nux roctary could be fun for that though. More of a leslie than a chorus but the octave options could be a loud of fun for what you’re trying to do.
No chorus, flanger or phaser can give you that tone, because you're searching for the "chorale" setting which is very tricky to achieve with just basic analog pedals. Even if you try that, you would also need a complex EQ setting or an IR-loader pedal, because of the peculiar frequency response of the Leslie. Trust me, I've tried almost all the possible combinations and I ended my quest with a proper digital Leslie simulator pedal for that highly sought-after "Orion bass" or "Jon Lord"-style sound on guitar or bass. The Lester G or the Lester K (which is the one I use) can lead you there wonderfully and they aren't as expensive as the Lex or the Neo Ventilator pedals.
I have a mxr analog stereo chorus and I think if I run out of the stereo out only it doesn't send the dry signal through. I cant remember exactly but I found a decent Leslie sound with it. Similar to your mxr micro. It would be nice to find something to use that chorus for.
Excellent video! And very difficult choice but the sound of the MXR Micro Chorus I liked a lot to get closer to a Leslie. On the other hand, with the new Walrus Polychrome flanger you can also have a Leslie sound. See the following video at minute 2:40 ruclips.net/video/0C0_SneeBdI/видео.html
No offense. I have a VERY hard time digging any modulation that is not tremolo. I do enjoy a good phase shifter but I mostly play older blues so it’s not a sound that I really reach for. I have tried the déjà vu vibe. Makes a strange copying noise when you kick it into your system and sounds OK but doesn’t sound good enough to deserve a place on my pedalboard. I’ve also tried the dark side by Keeley. And if you could dial in all the sounds at once, it might be a keeper because you have to choose whether it’s a fair shift or or Your or Whatever. I’m used to about three times and then I’m gonna put on Reverb. I really haven’t heard anything that makes me want to have it on my paddleboard that makes me feel it deserves the space consider to be very very valuable real estate. It needs to be sated inspires me that takes me somewhere else And none of the shit does that. Certainly nothing you demo on this video. I’m very open to suggestion. I’ve been playing since I was 14 I’ll be 63 later this summer I’ve used a lot of shit I’ve played through the real Leslie speakers simply looking for great sounds and inspiration want stuff that’s easy to dial in and easy to use. Sounds good and every goddamn position you put it in not something that has like three or four spots and you better fucking pray you get it right. Quite frankly don’t have time for that.
If you want a great leslie sound in a small package check out one of the micro vents. I like the 122 because I like the high rotor, but the 16 is cool if you want more of that SRV thing. Even though it has one footswitch you can set it up to change from fast to slow with a click and go to bypass with a press and hold. If the neo stuff doesn’t work for you then you simply don’t like the he leslie sound. The Lex is also really good with a smallish footprint. These are completely different from the univibe stuff you mentioned. They are very different even though people often say the univibe was created to sound like a leslie. We are just diving into a univibe series. We have posted a bunch of videos on them already but have a lot more to go. This has been one of my favorites and it is really easy to dial in a good sound. ruclips.net/video/3KQGEff5Uug/видео.htmlsi=HO23ta8bU0tT_3Uz
You guys are such fun. Some of these sounds may not be convincing Lesley but gosh they sound very useful. Thanks for the video!
This is such a great vid I really think a chorus mixed with a trem is pretty convincing even some chorus pedals sound more Leslie then anything
Thanks!
