1978 Super Reverb Leslie driver

Post by Reeltarded »

Here is my next thing on the list of to dos.

1978 Super modified to drive Leslie cabs and a KS Super Stock Leslie 25 that is a 100w 122 stuffed in a mod 25 cab.

Half moon on the verb/vibe pedal for all controls. (Leslie speed, stop, hold, amp reverb/vib)

Recap, mod, retube. I am deleting the master or bright capping it, cascading the normal into the vib channel with a mixer that really eats gain, and tweaking bright caps on both channels. Might change interstage coupling to suit the Leslie roll-off as this amp is only ever used with this Leslie or a 147.

The speakers in a 122, or 147 are 16 ohm last time I looked so how are you getting around that with the 2 ohm OT of the super?

Noo noo The pic above the inside left side is a 120 tap plus the output tap taken parallel to the output jack and that box has connectors for the send just like a B3. Its a sucky pic I will get one with less lazy light. ;)

I have a Fender Vibratone that I modded with an EVM12 and wired to run full range with a bassman head.

Man it's tits. Real Leslie speakers just can't be emulated. Being in the room with a real Leslie is just an experience.
