tHe LesLie Heritage
Congratulations
on purchasing the
FIRST EVER Digital Leslie Pedal. If this is
your first LESLIE, Welcome to our family; if
you’re already one of us, welcome home.
The Leslie Speaker was invented by Donald
H. Leslie in 1940 to make the Hammond
Organ sound more like a Theatre Pipe Organ,
but even Don Leslie couldn’t begin to imagine
the impact his invention would have in all
corners of the music world from that day
forward.
The swirling, lush sound of a Leslie speaker
has been applied to almost every instrument
one can think of, including the human voice.
Engineers and tinkerers everywhere have
always come up with ways to “hook up a
Leslie” to their Guitar, Violin, Horn, or Vocal
Mic.
