Some new gear: Mesa Revolver Cabinet

[TwAn]

Hi all,

I've been searching for some sort of Leslie cabinet for a while now, I really love the sound of the old Hammond organs with the Leslie cabinets, and would love to get one for guitar

I've found a Mesa Revolver cabinet. Mesa used to make these, but they don't produce 'm anymore. The sound is really nice, I've had the opportunity to play it for few minutes, and I think I'm gonna buy it... Anyone ever used this thing?

I've found some pics of the cabinet, it's not the one I'm going to buy, but it gives you an idea.

It has a 12" Black Shadow speaker that can be rotated 'fast' and 'slow' and it has a footswitch to switch between the options... You can also connect a pedal to gradually change the speed of the speaker, but that's not included. Any of you guys know if I could connect an EB-pedal to make this work???

Thanks!

Wow - how cool is that - a throwback to the good ol' Leslie.

Hope you have strong roadies !!!

Thats pretty interesting. How fast can that speaker rotate?

Thats a really nice mesa. Awkward though, never seen anything like that before

I'm gonna try to make a small video or soundclip if I get it... I'm gonna pick it up tomorrow...

Looks like it's pretty rare, haven't found a lot of info about it... We'll see...

Hope you have strong roadies !!!

I don't , but I'm a strong man, myself...

These are fantastic!!!

Get it if you can.

They sound incredible!

I agree its a little more than a Leslie Effects pedal but wow the Mesa ones are really great.If you can get it at a good price then grab it.


There are only a very few Mesa Product that I havent tried and this is a phenomenal piece of kit

I cant praise it enough

Well, I'm gonna pick it up tomorrow!

It's in perfect shape, never been gigged... Paying 1450 euro's for it... It's quite a bit of money, but it's a lot cheaper than a genuine leslie, and Mesa has got a good reputation when it comes to quality, so...

Now I just need to find me a pedal that I can use to control the "continuous control"...

Thats a real unique piece there, Twan! By the way, me just pick up a 10 year-old Studio Caliber 25w today too. Lets enjoy our boogie!
