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.
