Have a so-called "universal" (6W) Leslie speaker you can't use with guitar or keyboards because you need a particular preamp and matching cable to operate it? You have two choices: 1. Look around. It's really not hard to find a used Leslie Combo Preamp and a used "6/6" (6-pin socket/6-pin plug) cable, as long as you're willing to spend $400 or more and to accept the fact that scratchy pots, radio crosstalk, leaking/failing capacitors, and other such issues go hand-in-hand with technology that pre-dates Woodstock... OR, 2. Look here! For this 21st-century adapter/preamp/footswitch bundle that will power and control your Leslie, without that Leslie-brand preamp and bulky cable, and with NO MODIFICATION to your Leslie! Just plug everything in, insert your instrument cord into the 1/4" or XLR input, and you're ready to play!
What you get with purchase: - 1 brand-new, hand-crafted adapter with illuminated on/off power switch and genuine "new old stock" Amphenol 6-pin socket that connects directly to your Leslie's amplifier,
- 1 mint-condition, fully-tested ART Tube MP (that's right, it has a 12AX7 tube inside!) preamp with 9VAC power supply,
- 1 brand-new "latching" footswitch which controls Leslie speed (fast vs. slow, or fast vs. off for older one-speed cabinets), and - 2 brand-new 10' cords, one to carry audio from the Tube MP preamp to the adapter, the other using low-voltage (5VDC) for speed switching.
In other words, you get EVERYTHING YOU NEED to operate your 6W Leslie with your favorite ax and cord, all in one modern package! At a December sale price!
Compatibility: 6W Leslie speaker cabinets with installed amplifiers (as applicable, Models 25, 31W, 44W, 45, 46W, 47, 125, 225, 145, 147, 245, 247). It cannot be used with "6H" Leslies (Models 21H, 22, 31H, 122, 142, 222, 242), which employ a different mechanism and voltage to switch speeds.
If you already own a
Leslie Combo Preamp, SELL IT! You can get $320 or more for it on-line (don't take my word for it, do a search)! If you already own a 6-conductor cable for your Leslie, SELL IT! A used 6/6 cable can bring $80-100 on-line.
You simply won't need either of these items anymore with this attractive adapter/preamp/footswitch package.
