Subject:Re: Clonewheel Reverb or Not?

I did a recording recently and the producer wanted my
reverb off. It's true that reverb thins out the sound
and is better added in moderation in the mix. I will
say I like to have some reverb happening when I'm
playing in a dry environment. There is nothing like
the sound of a Leslie in a reflective environment like
an unfinished basement or garage..... or a church I
suppose.
I also find myself wondering about the sonic
implications of having reverb before the Leslie as
opposed to reverb in the Leslie [122 or 147RV]. As we
all know the reverb comes out of two little 6X9
speakers and does not 'fly' around the room. I
postulate that when the reverb comes before the Leslie
the effect washes out the richness of the Hammond tone
more so than if it comes out separately ala RV
Leslies.
And while I"m thinking about it. Why don't we see RV
Leslies anymore??
