i'm a bit of a leslie sound junkie... i feel uncomfortable if i don't have it on my board. I loved it on Boss PH-2 (you would be surprised how good it sounded), not very much on Stereo Polyphase, my new Sovtek Small Stone isn't that bad and the Pigtronix EP-1 is kinda cool, but since i got the sovtek, i've used it basically only for the elslie and envelope filter and it's too big and too heavy for just that (and i find the asymmetrical phasing very weird )
yes, i'd consider selling EP-1 and getting the PH-2 again
what are good fast leslie pedals for decent prices? what are your favourite?

The Strymon Lex is supposed to be excellent but it's pricey. Maybe get a cheap vibe like the BBE or Danelectro. I don't know if they can get fast enough for you though.

Someone here has the BBE Soul Vibe and really likes it, although I forget who...
Yeah I heard more good things about the Soul Vibe. Don't know if it does convincing fast leslie tones though, I don't have any personal experience with it.

+1 on the Line6 Leslie emulation, which on the PodXT is startlingly good. i also really like the "Phase Modulation" setting on my TC SCF chorus/flanger, which combines vibrato and chorus and does a pretty nifty fake fast Leslie with the Speed and Width turned up; in practice, though, i tend to just use the Chorus with the Intensity and Width cranked to get that Pink Floyd gurgle on chords because it's simpler to dial in.
the Vibrato circuit on an old Fender amp also makes a good faux Leslie in a pinch...i've used it with a cheap electric keyboard and the amp's reverb to make Instant Hammond.

i know i could just keep the Pigtronix... but as cool as it can be i haven't been able to really bond with it... maybe it'll happen later? I hope so, it does the leslie sound and envelope filtering really well
edit: Strymon Lex sounds astonishingly beautiful, but their prices... i'd welcome El Cap, Blue Sky and Lex gladly to my pedalboard, but that would actually be approximately as expensive as the rest of my pedals and approximately the same as my guit and amp combined... unacceptable Not the fact it would be so expensive, but the fact i simply don't have that kinnd of money

you can share your experience with different pedals trying to achieve the sound
