Will do. Feel like challenging myself. I can usually tell tho, by listening
to the bass rotor in relation to the trebel rotor.

True, up to a point. If your're talking about a ROOM Leslie, I completely
agree -- which is why I still drag my big wooden box to gigs.

If you're talking about a MIC'ED Leslie, though, it's not so black-and-white.
In the BX3-CX3 section of the Files area of the Yahoo site are three MP3
files of the CX-3. The first one is dry, into the board. The second one is
into a tube preamp, then into the board. The third one is a mic'ed Leslie,
using three SM57's in a 2-horn/1-rotor configuration.

Try this: Download the preamp and Leslie files, and put them in WinAMP on
endless repeat. Listen to each file for a while, until you are sure that you
can identify each sound. Now, minimize WinAMP and leave the room for about
10-15 minutes, while the files continue to play. Come into the room, and
listen to ONLY ONE file. Now, tell me which one is playing? I'll bet you
even money that your are wrong ...
