Hi all,please give your opinions on the best sounding " leslie " pedal you,ve heard,just checking whats going on in the pedal market currently,thanks..
Best leslie pedal around?
I've looked into this at great depth (before deciding to "make do" with the one in my G-Sys). The Neo Ventilator or the Strymon Lex are the best for authentic Leslie sounds. Lex is nice and compact for a guitar pedalboard, but the Ventilator is a touch more realistic to my ear. Both are best used stereo, but still work well in mono.

I owned a Lex, and SOLD IT (shock, horror >
) I sold it because, in my VERY humble opinion, the sound on my Digitech EX-7 was better. More, woody

IMO the univibe (or one of the good clones, such as the dejavibe) is a great effect but not quite Leslie somehow.charleshaupt wrote: Thanks ,have looked sofar at : Dunlop univibe, Strymon Lex , Hughes+Kettner , Rocktron ... so still deciding...
It depends on what you want. Do you want a Leslie as in "sounds exactly like a Leslie". I used to think I wanted that, but eventually I found that a tremolo gave me what I really wanted. But then I stopped using effects full stop.
Richard Thompson, a long time univibe user, has ditched the vibe (or any clone) from his electric guitar rig and now has a TC Shaker vibrato instead. Sounds pretty sweet too.
