I'm sorry but "watery vs. wet" that is just classic! I'm keeping that in my quote book.

The clue to all things audio: You cannot listen with your mind or your mouth or your eyes or with gear. Stop thinking. Stop asking. Stop tweaking and just listen. Don't try to rationalize. Don't try to negotiate. The gear is not listening. The gear will not tell you anything except what you tell it to. Listen! If you hear crickets, you hear crickets. Do you hear one or two or many? Don't think about it just listen. If there are many you will hear all of them. If there is one you will hear one. When you've determined how many crickets you hear. Turn on your cricket modeller to see if you were right. Maybe there were more. Listen again. Maybe there were less. Listen again.

Confucious, out.

Go to Google and search on:

"leslie speaker plug-in effect"

You'll get lots of posts on which EFX and software comes the closest.

Or go buy a Leslie cabinet...

tremelo and phaser together might work, if you get the intervals the same and everything works properly together...

go and buy a leslie cabinet (or rent one), thats probably easier

Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?

I just love it whenever someone's coming with that sort of descriptions. It
reminds me of a guitarist/vocalist that once came to me with some tracks he
recorded at home asking why his voice doesn't sound black enough and his
guitar doesn't sound brown enough?". Obviously I've sent him and his guitar
outside to get some sunshine... :D
So what I'm saying is, learn to ask the right questions, only then you should
expect to get answers.
What is watery? Like what? I learn that reverb isn't what you're after. Have you
tried sinking your monitors…
As for the tremolo and phaser effects that has been suggested here. I don't know
what good will come out of it eventually (Although everything worth a shot
when you got the time) since both are parts of the Leslie effect itself.
When the it rotates it creates not only frequent amplitude changes but also
what's known as the "Doppler effect" which gives it what you might call as
"Bubbly" sound. You might want to change it's speed to get a different result.
If by "Watery" you mean "sounds like inside the water" then you should DRY
the sound as much as possible and add a little of dry echo, but just a little. You
should also EQ for less high and no sibilance frequencies to make it a bit blurry.
Go swimming, you'll might find some useful ideas!

Have a nice day!

So long and thanks for all the fish.
