LESLIE MODEL 302/322/302 C
Leslie 302 is gemaakt door Hammond Suzuki en is dus een vrij recent model.
Gewicht 110 lbs, 27" H bij 25 3/4" W en 20" D diep.
Het is een volledig elektronische box: de hoorn heeft een 35 watt versterker terwijl de Bass versterker 65 watt RMS levert voor de 12" bass speaker.
Er is geen bas rotor, aangezien de bas stationair is en dit effect gesimuleerd wordt.
Het cross-overfilter werkt bij 800 Hz.
Deze box heeft een 11 pins aansluiting en is ontworpen voor de XB-series.
Er is een jack aansluiting voor keyboards of gitaren.
Er zijn heel wat knoppen aan boord:
Master volume
Bass tone
Treble tone
Power switch
Remote switch

The 302 out of the box is very noisy with a prominent 60 hz buzz. A 60hz buzz through a slowly rotating horn is an unpleasant thing. Fortunately this problem is almost completely cured by doing a ground lift on either of the XB-2 or 302 power cords, but not both.
Een uittreksel uit een testverslag uit de USA.
Er zit een jack aansluiting op voor een afstands-schakelaar voor de snelheid. De verkoopprijs lag in de USA rond de $ 1400.
Er was ook een 302 C, die in hout uitgevoerd was.
The 30 foot Leslie 11-pin cable that comes with the 302 has those cheezy old-style bakelite plastic connectors on both ends. Maybe Hammond-Suzuki thinks it adds a nostalgic touch but that brittle plastic reminds me of the bad old days...
Also, I was warned by the GOFF technicians to be careful not to roll castored road cases over the Leslie cord on stage or it will need replacing very soon.
The 302 can be driven using the Leslie cable or a regular 1/4" guitar cord. I did A/B comparisons with a good quality guitar cord it seemed that the Leslie cable sounded a tiny bit hotter and a little more "open", but you'd never notice this without an A/B comparison and a very good pair of ears. Maybe the Leslie cable uses better wire and connectors. The 11-pin cable does not have a differential signal path.
The other reason to use the Leslie cable is that it sends the Leslie fast/slow command from the XB-2's Leslie tab switch and/or footswitch and also sends a "power on/off" command that lets you power on/off the XB-2 and the Leslie together (though the Leslie cable doesn't carry AC power to the Leslie). You can plug a footswitch directly into the Leslie to control speed but then you don't get fast/slow feedback on the XB-2 leslie tab light.
