Leslie-style Rotating Speaker

Posted by Josh Gayou (SmokehouseGuitars) on February 26, 2011 at 1:46pm

A good number of us have seen the video by now.  If you haven't I envy you, if only because you haven't yet been struck by the covetous need to own one of these.  The first time you hear it, you'll dream about it like Ralphie dreamed about his Red Ryder.

 

When I saw this thing, I begged TatooedAxe to let me put it up on my site.  Being a guy of humble nature, he was appreciative of my offer.  What he fails to realize that I'm making out better than he is.  Having this kind of thing on your site generates some serious street cred!

 

Have a look at this bad boy.

    I'm starting to get the itch to make another 3 stringer.

    My Leslie has the rotating baffle and fixed tweeters (no horns).  It's a late 1970's solid state model.

    I have no idea what you're talking about...

    And yes, I did just go a correct the mistake and then pretend that I never made it in the first place.  That's how I roll.

     

    Thanks for the edit.  Want to make sure all those corrections are in place.

    Josh...just a bit of a correction:  The Leslie cabinets didn't always rotate the speakers. The woofer was mounted, and fired into a rotating baffle.  The horns, however, did rotate.

    That aside, I have always regretted selling my old Model 16, and have sworn many times to build one...maybe I will finally do it!

     

    Great find, thanks for sharing.
