The Legacy of Rotary Speakers

The rotary speaker effect, with its distinctive Doppler pitch shift and swirling modulation, has been a staple in music since the 1940s. The Leslie speaker, originally designed for use with Hammond organs, utilized a rotating horn and woofer to create a unique three-dimensional sound. This effect, often described as a “chorusing” or “tremolo” effect, quickly gained popularity and became synonymous with the sound of the Hammond organ. Over time, the rotary effect found its way into recordings by artists like the Beatles, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Mayer, and Soundgarden, solidifying its place as a classic effect.
