    It's brand new. Looks nice though. BBD (bucket brigade) chip.


    should be about as close as it gets to the old Boss CE-1 if you like that pedal.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    Thanks, I know nothing about Retro Sonic, but the pedal looks nice. Samples are supposed to be up soon.

    I really want the chorus sound of a leslie, anything you would recomend I look at?

    A leslie speaker. :)

    The Hughes and Kettner Rotosphere. (Mike)

    Option 5 Destination Rotation.

    The Electro Harmonix Wiggler.


    oh and if you're going after more of a chorus sound, the Analogman Clone Chorus is nice.

    one of the many uni-vibe clones would work too.

    Thank you!

    Hughes is probably the way to go, no?

    I would say so. If you want more of a phasey swirly tone though Ex's suggestion is better. you may a/b the H&K with a Fulltone Dejavibe or deja2. That would be my suggestion.

    Which one will give me the abbey road sound?

    well I'm not sure which abbey road sound, but I'd say the H&K would be closer. I think you're more or less looking for the cleaner rotating speaker sound rather than the thicker more swirly Hendrix/Trower sound.


    listen to the clips of the stuff at http://www.custom-sounds.com specifically voodoo labs

    they make a vibe pedal. If it's more phasey than you will get the H&K. The actually leslie speaker creates a doppler effect. the Univibe was a terrible attempt at a leslie sound from a smaller box. So terrible in fact that it was cool and became it's own animal.

    I believe soundclips for the H&K are available in real audio at http://www.musiciansfriend.com

    I think the H&K is probably the only one that will give me the sounds I want. I am going to have to go play one.
    Thanks again!

    anytime. It's the most leslie like pedal I know of. They are kind of expensive.
