It reminds me - when I was using an Alesis NanoPiano module (and later a vintage Casio CZ-1 synth) for organ sounds, I used to put the sound through a Danelectro "Rocky Road" Leslie simulator pedal (mono only, but not bad for £50). The funny thing is, Danelectro's effect pedals are all named after menu items from a stereotypical 1950s American diner; tremolo is "Tuna Melt", fuzzbox is "Grilled Cheese", vibrato is "Chicken Salad"... So why is the Leslie pedal called "Rocky Road" and not "Hammond Eggs"? Bad planning there, I think...
