	Over the years, CAE has had the opportunity to work with some of the biggest names in the music business. Here’s a partial list of the clients we’ve helped to get the most out of their equipment.



				A Special Custom Project for Joe Walsh of the Eagles Joe used the Leslie Sound Effect on his guitar in the opening of the hit song "Hotel California." To get the sound he wanted, he came to CAE for custom Leslie hardware modifications. Influenced by the LA music scene, Joe wanted to have a Custom Leslie fitted with a JBL 2485 16 ohm HF Driver. In June, 1994, we built a Leslie Horn adaptor out of aluminum to connect the JBL Horn Driver with a 2 inch throat to the 3/4-inch diameter Leslie Treble Horn spindle. We consulted with the engineers at JBL and concluded that for the best transfer of power and lowest distortion we would have to make the throat as long as we could. It turned out to be about 13 inches long. This was a huge mass to support inside the Leslie Speaker box. We fabricated special support brackets to secure the Driver during shipment from gig to gig. We delivered two Leslies in custom made road cases to the Shoreline Ampitheater. The whole project was completed in one month.
