The John Lennon Vocal Thing
In what seems like a particularly dangerous
Beatles studio experiment, a Leslie speaker cabi-
net was dismembered, a microphone was affixed
to the rapidly spinning upper rotor, and John
Lennon attempted to sing into it. Fortunately
the deafening wind noise captured by the mi-
crophone put a stop to the proceedings before
anyone got maimed. Feel free just to run the vo-
cal through the rotating speaker—that’s what
they wound up doing.
Reverse Spin
Those reverse-vocal and reverse-guitar tricks are
even more fun when you run ‘em through Spin.
Try reversing the vocal and putting it through
Spin, as well as putting the vocal through Spin
then reversing the processed vocal.
Generator Leakage
Of all the sounds to pass through a Leslie, no
sound has been amplified more often than the
sound of B-3 Organ generator leakage. Even
with no notes keyed, a small amount of B-3
sound leaks out.
