I broke down and bought a Hammond SK2 digital organ. It sounds awesome and has a digital Leslie built in.  After messing with it I think would enjoy a real Leslie.

The studio 12 I believe is the closest thing they make to the original with the dual motors. There are other lelslies that are half digital and half analog. My preference if I am going to splurge would be full analog.

Has any one played with one of these? There are only scant bits of info about them online.

This would be for home use. No stage or road usage.

Thanks!

Of the few Leslies I've seen and played with (not a musician), it always seemed odd to me that the control was just an on-off switch.  To me, it would make more sense to hook it to a pedal with a variable speed control so that you could have more control over the motion/effect of the Leslie.







This, of course, has nothing to do with your question.

thanks for the bump anyway.  That is a cool thing on the digital side - you can adjust the fast and slow speed. I agree a variable controller would be cool.

Check out Motion Sound Rotary Speaker

These sound awesome..

I am too lazy to drag my 145 around..  The Leslie patch(s) on my XK3 sound pretty damn good. Programmable with a wide selection of variations.

Not sure what the XK2 has in that department

Hammonds!

Xk2 is pretty flexible with the leslie patch as well.

Those motion sound speakers look pretty sweet!

When I did sound, the Motion Sound top cabs sounded as good as anyone using a 47,45, 22..

Here is a great treatise on Leslie cabs.
Absolutely no shit on the lack of diffuser.. it helps the horn "Bark" to keep it on there.
 My 145 has a vintage horn driver, which breaks up nicely, growly  
I like the fact that  the SK-2 has  EP patches and what not.
I bought my XK-3,  12 years ago, and it was the top shelf at the time..
Shoulda waited..
Hate to drag my wurly  out too..

Okay... I broke down and put money on a Leslie.

Not a new one - but a vintage 122!

You be welcome "n" stuff..  that is a GREAT website..

I do the "rawk" thang.. unplug the High speed on the bottom rotor.. so it doesn't get " Flubby"   bass on high speed.
