Subject:RE: New Leslie Clone!

Well I recall having read the term "dry" referring to "without effect" in general in a fw texts, written in English. That can mean chorus, phaser etc. Sure: the wording "without Ventilator rotary cabinet emulation" and "with Ventilator rotary cabinet emulation" would be the correct one, but I think they went for the short form. I have no problem with that.
 
Besides that: I am not sure if the demos are doimng justice to this effect. I can hear nice separation between horn and bass rotor and the overdrive is nice, but it ain't a real leslie. Perhaps that's why they consider it being "under construction". I would love to have a convincing leslie emulation which gives me that bell-like, throaty and airy quality of a real mchanical leslie. Even cheap European leslie copies from the late 1970s/early 1980s (I own a Solton TurboJet and an Elkatone, both working just fine) - when in good electrical and mchanical condition  - beat the crap out of any leslie emulation I ever heard - even when recorded with a standard three mic configuration.
 
So: I hope the ventilator really brings that sizling, grinding, throaty, brassy swirl we all love so much.....

I always thought the term "wet" had to do with reverb.

I guess not in German.

A new Leslie clone hit the market today. It's modelled after a Leslie 122:
