The Lester G Deluxe rotary speaker is the ultimate emulator packed with goodies like a specially designed compression circuit to supercharge the rotating speaker effect on guitar. The Lester G Deluxe’s comprehensive controls include fully adjustable tube-style overdrive, Fast and Slow modes and an Acceleration control to dial in the rate at which the effect transitions between speeds. The sound of that giant wood cabinet will now fit on a pedalboard.

Sounds great

This pedal does a great job of simulating a Leslie without the cost of a real one and the backache of lugging one around. The brake feature to simulate the different speeds is especially useful. It makes arpegiated chords shimmer . One thing I would caution on is where you put it in your signal chain as the overdrive in it can override your od/distortion pedals. I run it after my Boss Super Overdrive, TC Ekectronics reverb, MXR Analog chorus and Carbon Copy Delay, but before my TC Electronics Noise Gate and Vox wah and this produces the best tone without hiss or buzz but it took some tinkering to get there.

Not as cool as I'd hoped.

Some of the difficulties I've had with this device may be partially because I haven't experimented enough with the settings. It seems to be built sturdy enough and will probably be reliable but the sound is a concern.

    It is a good pedal but I prefer simplicity. I should have gotten a smaller unit. His pedal has other features that I probably won't use.

  • Great Rotary/Leslie speaker in a pedal!

    Have needed an effective rotary speaker pedal for a long time. Got tired of issues with an effects processor that is over 25 years old! The E-H LesterG pedal can do it all as I expect it to do. Controls are effective and easy to use. Used the pedal at a gig with great results!

  • very expensive but works very well

    This does a remarkable job of replicating a Leslie without the cost of one or pulling some lumbers lugging a Leslie cabinet around. The compressor and drive really add to its tonal capabilities. The brake feature lets you switch seamlessly between slow and fast settings. You could also add an expression pedal if you so chose. It makes your guitar shimmer.

    I've had several Leslie simulator pedals, the Lester nails the Leslie and is a great value. Listen to Out Of My Mind by the Romantics, their liner notes indicate Korg effects, so it's safe to assume they used the G4, the Lester is a dead ringer for that sound. While there are many great Leslie sims out there, I'm very pleased with this one.
