You're probably right, Tony. Is your expression pedal the newer one with
the Leslie sidekick button? If yes, are there two cables coming from the
pedal--one for expression and one for Leslie on/off? If there are two
cables, would the Leslie on/off switch the Speakeasy if you got it to plug
into the speakeasy?
