Members pink floyd cramer Posted January 4, 2005 Members Share Posted January 4, 2005 Anybody here have experience with the new round of leslie sims? I am interested in how the H&K Rotosphere II compares to the Voce Spin II, Little Lanelei products, and Option-5 Destination: Rotation. I used to have a Motion Sound Pro3-T and IMO that pretty well set the standard. So come on you gear sluts help me out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eric Posted January 4, 2005 Members Share Posted January 4, 2005 I've owned and used most of the Leslie simulators pretty extensively and have a Leslie 122 that I prefer when I need to move air. I have not tried Little Lanelei. I do like the H&K better than the Spin...the tube in the H&K makes it warmer and it can get grittier in a more natural way. You should also check out a Dynacord CLS-222. One of the very best Leslie sims out there. Analog circuitry with a "super stereo" mode that is amazing. That is probably my favorite of the non-rotary products. Also, the Korg G4 is pretty decent. None of these will hold a candle to the Motion Sound. What is your organ sound source?

Members clusterchord Posted January 4, 2005 Members Share Posted January 4, 2005 Eric, can the tube on H & K be brought to non-linear operation , i mean, can it pull of some overdrive duties as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eric Posted January 4, 2005 Members Share Posted January 4, 2005 Yes, you can boost the pre gain going into the tube and obtain some decent overdrive on the H&K. Regards,Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pink floyd cramer Posted January 4, 2005 Author Members Share Posted January 4, 2005 eric, my sound source will be a Hammond L-122 that I hopefully will be picking up next week. Eventually I hope to get a real leslie, but for now I would like something I can also take to a gig. A google search shows a fair number of L-122 owners who play out or even record with their Hammond using the Rotosphere. The Little Lanelei with the 10" speaker sounds promising at about $100 more than a Rotosphere- but I can't find any reviews written by keyboard players. The Rotosphere sounds like it may come in handy as a tube preamp alone, probably no Speakeasy for those purposes though. Good to hear from you but BTW- D minor is NOT the saddest of all keys because "He Stopped Lovin' Her Today" is in "G". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
