Phaser that does Leslie sounds?

I believe boss has a few that can do it. http://www.bossus.com/gear/productlist.php?ParentId=96

The RT-20. I like it!

 

The ToneCzar Halophaze is a dual channel phaser, with the special feature of a 'Ramp' control. 'Ramp' basically controls the speed from which channel one and channel two ramp up or down from one setting to another, similarly to the Leslie (only you control it), and is for some reason not included on 99% of modulation pedals. It also features two independent 'mix' controls, one for each speed,

The downside is it carries a hefty price tag ($375 usd), and currently has a 14 month wait time on getting one built. But in my eyes, this is essentially the king of all Phaser, perhaps all modulation pedals, and for those that are very particular about tone and construction from their pedals, this is amongst a list of 'holy grails.'

 

phase shifters dont sound very leslie like..although they have a sort of similar vibe. if you mean you want a univibeish phase shifter, i use a red witch moon phaser..and i bought that pedal to do that larry graham phantom of the opera thing, the same video your talking about. this pedal does that very well.

if you want a more realistic leslie sound, i'd give a look at DLS rotosim..best leslie simulator out there

 

Get an eventide mod factor or time factor...

 

I vote for an old Maestro PS-1a box. 3 speeds, with ramping between them. It was designed with the leslie effect in mind and does sound like a single speaker version (sort of). Lush organic phasing that I haven't heard from any other box yet and I've tried many. It is not true bypass though and doesn't have a blend. Very tweakable if you open it up and can be had very reasonably on ebay often. I use mine with a looper because it does cut some tone when bypassed.

It's the box on the upper left. Takes up way too much room but it has the sound.

 

That is a lot of board space to dedicate to a phaser. You must love that thing.

Kudos to you.

 

...psst...over here...yeah, right, over here...Maxon PH-350...

 

Try 17 months and counting.

 

I'm currently on the wait list from nine-ish months ago, although to be honest, I'm happy enough with my Psilocybe that I'm not sure I'm ready to drop $375 + tax (since I'm in state) + shipping on it.

 

Ed at ToneCzar quoted me at 12 months about two months ago, but I am sure there is noticeable drag between physical results and quotes on delivery.

 

So is there a ghetto faux-leslie-ish phaser, or any other pedal that does this at all?

 

In regards to the effects listed, does anyone know if you really need to have two amps (stereo) to make the roto effect of a leslie work live

Of all the pedals that have been listed, appreciate any insight on either the Maxon PH-350 versus the DLS Rotosim

Maybe I'll have to buy both and check it out for myself...hey watch the posts in the For Sale: Accesories section

 

I think the Pigtronix EP-1 can get some leslie-ish style phase.

 

Booyah.

 

Get the EHX Worm and a blender pedal. It does phaser and Vibrato plus
auto wah and tremolo.
It's inexpensive and sounds nice.

The PH-350 is a versatile phaser but it only would get close to leslie sounds in a two amp setup and even then it's missing what I consider the hallmark of the leslie tone (below)

The EP-1 definitely can cop a Uni-Vibe tone, but not leslie like at all IMO.

To me, the key to the leslie sound is the ability to transition between speeds. The Maestro, the Jet Phase and the Halophaze can all "ramp" which makes them the best candidates outside of a "leslie emulator" type pedal. The bad news of course is that all three are damn near impossible to get your hands on and expensive.

 

The best faux Leslie tones I ever got were from an old EH Deluxe Electric Mistress Flanger. I used to use it when I'd play SRV on guitar gigs. The price isn't bad, either. If only it wasn't so big...
