I've played my Revibe, Warbler, AC-15, and Hampeg GemiVibe (Hammond AO-63 conversion) through my poor man's Leslie. All of those sounded good, especially with the Leslie on slow speed. It was a good experiment but I did not discover any new "WOW!" sounds.

K, if you get the speeds correct, hard to do, you can get a doubling effect which is cool, but only for a few times then one of the other will change times and you get a whop whop and a long silence.  Sort of one sided.

I believe you could microswitch the horn rotor to set the speed of the tremolo to keep them the same speed.
