Hey Goff,
I'm talking Fender amp, not reverb itself. And yeah, I still have that
big Celtic cross in my front yard! :)

Leslie's own reverb system went to a separate 6x9 speaker after the
organ and not through the rotors. Although a stylized version has
mutated into reverb through the rotors which does not sound natural,
that may have arisen from Hammonds with reverbs connected to a Leslie.
Think of a pipe organ in a church. The reverb is not emanating from the
pipes, its added by the church's wall/ceiling/floor/ boundaries. If you
like through the rotors, add it before but it may get muddied by
overdrive as you would be OD'ing the reverb tone as it passes through
the OD in the Vent for example. Adding the reverb after the Vent may be
a truer sample of a natural occurrence, leaving your reverb tone clean
while maintaining the overdrive of the "Leslie." Ace keyboardist Don
Airey of Deep Purple runs his reverb through a separate guitar amp
while his Leslies are dry.
