The Line 6 unit I have is both stereo or mono in,
and stereo or mono out.

So 1 in to 2 out, should give something similar to
the real mono in to stereo acoustic spread of the real deal.

I like this box because it is not just ONE Leslie, but several,
and you can adjust top and bottom spinning tone ratios
and distortion from the box and has nice spin up and down.
In some ways more versatile and controllable than the original.


I may build a stereo 210 amp just to use it that way.

I own a DLS Roto-Sim stomp box. I don't know how it stacks up against the others , but it is a very nice unit. Very sturdy, tons of adjustments, great sound, and VERY quiet. Requires a wall wart which comes with unit.

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but just to deflate a myth:
If you listen to "Green Onions", you'll hear that it's a very basic organ tone - No leslie, no vibrato, no percussion, no fancy harmonic overtones. It's just the first four drawbars pulled out all the way, and nothing else.
