I actually have a Solton Turbojet ...
Incidentally, I'll be probably picking up an old Echolette ME II, which
came up locally for a reasonable (I think) price.
It has a transistor amp, so it's not as gritty as a tube Leslie, but it
also sounds very nice on guitar and, I expect, on electric piano. Using
just the bass rotor, it almost goes into Roland jazz Chorus territory.
I digress. What I was getting up to is that a rotary
effect has one
advantage over an actual rotary speaker: lack of motor noise.
I not sure whether I'll use the cabinet much for recording since the
drum and horn are quite noisy on this model, but I guess it's a matter
of careful microphone placement and using a noise gate and hiding the
noise in the mix.
