  AshbySolutions.com is again offering vintage-style "half-moon" switches for rotating speaker and simulator control, both onboard and offboard.  These assemblies are made of Bakelite with engraved letters, just like the originals, and have all the lettering -- except for the Leslie® logo, of course.

We sell very unique ones designed specifically for the modern Hammond Organ 'clone' player:

  • Housed in a standard enclosure, with the familiar switch and knob, this version has a center-return (like a Pitch Wheel).  The center position doesn't select anything; you push it left or right to make changes.  From a player's perspective, though, it feels "good":  push it to the left to slow the rotors, then slap it right to spool back up with a palm gliss!  It also allows the half-moon AND the preset setting of the organ to work in an 'either-or' manner.  You can call up a new Leslie speed with each preset, and still use the switch in perfect synch!

  • For players who like it really old-school, we also offer a version with only the standard two positions, a Chorale position to the left, and a Tremolo position to the right.  This makes synchronizing the speed select more difficult, but it feels and works exactly like the original.

Both versions are connected to a cable with a right-angle 1/4" plug on the end, ready for your organ's foot switch input.  The cable will be sized to fit; please specify the make and model of the organ when ordering the adapter.  If your keyboard isn't listed, we need the three measurements shown in the diagram below.

We also make versions specifically designed for 3-speed (or 2-speed) control of Motion Sound products, and versions to control the Neo Instruments Ventilator™.

The case can be mounted in the classic manner with four screws, or attached for easy removal (as shown in the photo to the left) with the supplied Velcro® kit.

Please note that these Halfmoon Switches are custom wired to the requirements of each customer; they are not a 'stock' item. Please allow up to two weeks for manufacturing, depending on the amount of other work in the queue at Ashby Solutions.
