Well...Not quite a stompbox, as it was a 1U Rackmount, but in case someone wants to make it more compact here is the schematic (i do not remember where i found it). Many folks thinks this is the best leslie sim on the planet. David Gilmour of Pink Floyd still uses one of these.

Damn

Got a headache just looking at that! I remember reading that Pete Cornish was into these. Wonder if Gilmour showed him or vice versa.

Here's some more info I dug up on this. It includes a couple block diagrams (in German) that might be helpful in understanding how it works: http://www.keyboardpartner.de/hammond/d ... %20CLS222/

haha it isn't that hard... The block diagram pretty much lays it out completely. This would be a fun project, the only problem that I see is that the TDA1074 are impossible to find. The TDA1022 are easier, and can apparently be easily substituted by the MN3007. the TDA1074 is an early "analog pot" IC, and in order to substitute it you would need serious vcr (voltage controlled resistance) work...
