How to Increase the Bass in Leslie Speakers

The Leslie G37 speaker is designed specifically for the guitar.

Leslie speakers are world-renowned for producing high-quality sound and unique sound effects. The inventor, Donald Leslie, created the speakers using the Doppler effect. The speakers are used by musicians ranging from rock stars to church musicians. A few of the famous Leslie speaker users are Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Eric Clapton. There are several models in use today. The speakers are used with many instruments like organs, keyboards and guitars. Hammond Suzuki USA manufactures and warehouses the world-famous speakers.
