Jon Lord
has chanzed the leslie for the marshall
because he wanted to make one tight sound with the band..
A frend of mine played in a purple cover band and the solo were not comming out..so I adviced to use a marshall.. and he was happy!!!

Actually, the trend for the straight sound has been around for quite a
while... For years Jon Lord discarded his Leslies for the Marshall sound...
Stevie Winwood did have a rotating Leslie during much of his Traffic Years
(except for Empty Pages which is my all-time favorite Traffic tune), and of
course the great Jazz masters who would rarely turn their Leslies on...
I, for one, use the brake for a good part of my performance. I love the
double rotating sound, but use it for emphasis, not as a regular sound. When
I was speaking to Steve about the MKIII I told him that a brake was a
necessity (for me). The new MIDI control and speed controllers on the MKIII
should give the user an ultimate amount of flexibility when it comes to
speed... But let's get back to the point.
Is it a "trend"... or a "development"...??? I thought that Jon Lord was
nuts to discard his Leslies for the Marshalls... Until I heard Machine
Head... Let's open ourselves up to new sounds and discoveries... Remember,
organists have been around for centuries and technology keeps moving
forward.

Okay, until this 'no-low-rotor' thing runs its course - or not - I
figured out a great work-around for those that want to get close
to 'the real deal' sound to use until they've scrimped and saved
enough bucks to get one.. or the trend passes.
You never know about these things. I always thought the goal we've
been inching toward the last few years was to get the best-sounding
Leslie simulator, i.e., the original horn and rotor with believable
balance and speeds plus transit times and separation of sound
between the two. As the goal got closer we've had some great
products from Motion Sound approaching real Leslie rotary sound,
like the Pro-3 with low rotor simulator, then the KBR-M, and even
better, the Pro-3T/LoPro, and finally the Pro-145 with rotary horn
and drum plus 200 watts. While the mechanical solution was getting
better, so were the onboard Leslie rotary simulations on our organ
keyboards, the Roland VK organs and VCombo, Nord Electro; and
outboard boxes like Spin, Korg G4, and just recently the Boss RT-20.
But to keep up with the latest evolution in 'Leslie,' you've got to
turn that bass rotor off, so here's the deal:
All you need is a Pro-3T, a mono 'Y' line adaptor, and a good bass
amp - even your usual keyboard amp you've been using for the low
rotor simulation. But most important, you need a good graphic
equalizer. These don't have to be expensive - I got one from Radio
Shack, an RCA model for $69 that's perfect for this setup.
So you set up your Pro-3T and connect the output from your organ
keyboard or module to the 'Y' adaptor's input. One line from
the 'Y's output goes to the usual connection on the Pro-3T, the
other line goes to the graphic equalizer. Slide all the graphic
equalizer sliders above 800Hz all the way to the bottom, removing
any sound above 800Hz. Don't plug the low rotor simulation from the
Pro-3T into your bass amp or keyboard amp. Instead, plug the output
of the graphic equalizer into your amp, and you've got a 'poor man's
MK III' - rotary horn upper, and in-your-face woofer sound.
Alright eh? You've got that sound and time to save for the real
deal, or to see if it's a temporary thing.
If the trend changes to no horn also, you've already got your
keyboard amp, no problem. ..heh heh.. Wj
