Electro-Harmonix Lester G Deluxe Rotary Speaker Pedal

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
