Uni-Vibe & leslie are 2 different sounds... For a Uni-Vibe sound like Robin Trower, Hendrix on "Machine Gun" & at Woodstock, Voodoo Lab Micro-Vibes are the best bang for your buck. If you have a little more money, pick up a used Fulltone Deja Vibe or Precription Electronics Vibe Unit. Stay away from the Dunlop, reports are not so good on that one.     Leslie sounds are Hendrix's "Little Wing" & "Angel". Another good example of leslie guitar is Clapton on "Badge".   Nothing sounds like a real leslie, but my old Quadraverb's rotary speaker setting gets in the ballpark. It changes speed gradually like a real leslie. I don't know of any pedals that will achieve the tone, but I haven't tried the Korg. A lot of guys use a chorus pedal for fast leslie sounds. These are more forgiving than slow leslie sounds & just about any chorus pedal turned up fast may do. Scott Henderson & Michael Landau use cheapo Arion Stereo Chorus pedals for this effect.     Steve B.
