Re: [Harp-L] effects advice (leslie, B3)

["scooter" <10hole@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I really never use effects but I was screwing around with my bass players 
tuner
one day which has a ton of effects on it. Since then the guy's in the band 
always request "F5"
when we do "Riding with the King". The tuner is a Zoom bass tuner, it's a 
silver tuner/effects pedal
made for bass. F5 is the setting on the tuner that sounds like a
hard Leslie driven B3. Every time we do the tune at least 1 person ask's how 
the harp sounds
like a Hammond. Unlike a Little David or other Leslie simulator this thing 
adds the flange & rotation
as well as some other interesting stuff which makes it sound huge. Here's a 
link to one on ebay.
This one is a 506 (2), I think his is just the plain 506 but it looks the 
same and probably has the same effect.
