Brad	Re: Suggestions for leslie simulator? I've seen Leslie 825's going for $200. We actually bought one for $100. We modded it to run a tube amp through it, and made on/off-fast/slow footswitch for it, and attached a power cord. All that cost about $35. An 825 doesn't have the top rotor, so you have to run the amp with a little more treble. Sounds pretty good, and actually throws sound around the room....something a simulator won't do. Keep your eyes peeled, and you may dig up the real thing pretty cheap. Brad
