Hey kids!
I just bought a Boss RT20 Leslie simulator...
My word, its a fantastic pedal!.... Ya, I know only a Leslie sounds like a Leslie, but this pedal comes pretty close.
It says for optimum effect to use it in stereo...
Does this mean hook it up to 2 amps??
I sound like a dummy...but hey, you guys have forgiven me in the past!! ;D

Yes, you have to use 2 amps and a stereo source for the input for it to sound it's best. The best way I found to do this is by using the effects loop in each amp and send the signal to the unit and back using the effects loop. Of course it will work with only one input. Separating the 2 amps by a foot or two makes it sound even better. You really notice the movement of sound that a Leslie creates this way. EDIT: Sorry, didn't realize this topic was so old.  |

Yep, thats an oldie! But welcome all the same psgd10man. I don't know anything about the Boss RT-20, but I suppose, given the way a Leslie is usually miked, that having one amp stacked on top of the other, with one acting as the horn and one as the big cylinder which goes round the speaker would give the most realistic results. That would only work if the signal was simulated and separated in that fashion, of course, but there you go. It's funny this should pop up today, as I just picked up a (20 year old!) Roland sound module, and whilst it has a Hammond style organ sound on it, it is without a Leslie effect. I have yet to try putting it through my Pod for drive and Leslie goings-on, but this peaked my interest just on that front!  |
