Dynacord CLS 222 (MT Dec 88)

muzines.co.uk

The Dynacord CLS 222 Leslie Simulator is a game-changer for those seeking the iconic Leslie sound without the back-breaking haul of the real thing. This 1U rackmount device impressively replicates the independent rotation of treble and bass speakers, and its stereo output modes provide a dizzying, immersive experience. Its simplicity and practicality make it a boon for live performances, offering volume levels that outshine traditional Leslie cabinets. However, the absence of MIDI control and a built-in distortion effect are minor drawbacks. Despite its steep price and limited availability, the CLS 222 is a worthy investment for enthusiasts, as evidenced by the reviewer's own purchase.

Hague uses a Roland A80 as his master keyboard — "I don't actually use many of its functions; the only reason I have it is because I like the way the keyboard feels" — and professes a particular fondness for his Dynacord CLS222 Leslie simulator. "I use it on all kinds of stuff: guitars, vocals, keyboards. It gives you an effect of motion, but it's not chorusing or flanging. It particularly brings digital organ sounds to life, which can otherwise be a bit dull."
