[HAM] Less bass to solid state leslie

I didn't really want to get into that, and I don't think I need a
particularly sharp slope either. The full bass spectrum (as per the
standard bass out ckt) is being fed into a 350 Watt Peavey head driving
a MesaBoogie 2x10 cab. More than plenty bass.

I think it was the speaker (and not the Leslie amp) that was causing the
farting so the thought is to just block those very lowest frequencies at
the speaker itself - but still have the chorale effect for the remaining
midlo/mids. It's a standard configuration Leslie 860 (solid state) and
importantly has the active crossover before the amp - so extra passive
components are all the way at the other end of the amp and have no
effect on the existing crossover function, the cable feeding the Leslie
is a near standard cable (9pin to 11pin custom job). And of course it is
at Hammond level not line level.  

Has anybody out there ever used a cheapo 1 cap low cut right on a
speaker?

Andy

I failed to mention that such a setup would also require an active
crossover. These particular equipment choices would also require that
your
leslie be the type that uses "line level" input rather than "speaker
level"
input.
