Leslie Digital Pedal
The first-ever Digital Leslie Pedal by Leslie from the Hammond Organ Co. Designed and built in America, the Leslie Pedal allows the distinctive rotary, moving sound of a Leslie to be added to any, guitar, bass, keyboard, or studio rig. Derived from the state-of-the art Digital Leslie onboard the new Hammond SK series stage keyboards and the flagship B-3mkII Organ, the Leslie Pedal evokes vintage 122 and 147 Leslies and the Model 18, basis of the classic Vibratone Guitar cabinet made famous by Stevie Ray Vaughn and others. The fourth model replicates the distinctive PR-40 stationary speaker cabinet, which was standard issue with Hammond Organs in the 50′s and 60′s, and a’ ‘secret weapon” for many vintage studio guitar recordings. Rotary controls allow adjustment of virtual mic placement, ramp up and down speeds, overdrive, horn and bass balance, EQ and overall volume. Three footswitches provide true bypass, speed and brake control, stereo in/out. A gain switch allows the Leslie Pedal to be used in a guitar effects chain, or direct inject into a sound reinforcement system/keyboard amp.

I’ve tried vibrato and chorus pedals that had suggested “Leslie-like” settings and they didn’t really come close. This nails it. You want to sometimes make your guitar sound like a soul organ? This does it. I like to use it with a volume pedal so you don’t hear the guitar attack and the whirling speaker sound just surges up…
The most awesome pedal you will ever own! If you like the sound of a B3 Hammond organ being piped through a Leslie amp with the unique sounds of the spinning horn speakers you will love the sounds you get with your guitar through this Pedal by Hammond. The G37 Leslie amp designed for the guitar weighs 93 pounds and cost about $1200. This Leslie pedal weighs about a pound and cost about $300. The sound I swear is the same or close enough that not many people could tell the difference. If you like the unique sounds of a Leslie you will…
I have about 4 pedals that are supposed to sound like a Leslie but don’t quite make the grade Having been a pro guitar player for a long time I remember playing through a Fender Leslie back in the day. I have about 4 pedals that are supposed to sound like a Leslie but don’t quite make the grade. Even though the reviews are mostly positive I was skeptical about the Leslie pedal but ordered one anyway and was pleasantly surprised. It sounds great. The drawbacks are it’s size and the fact that it does change they way your amp sounds a bit. It does sound good though and I can live with…
