I guess that the FR of the cabinet will not be constant but

depend on the 'phase' of the Leslie effect, i.e. the position

of the rotor. In other words, it's not only a delay modulation

but also a 'filtering' modulation.
One way to get a 'near to perfect' Leslie sound and effect

at the same time would be to measure the IR at say 30 positions

of the rotor, then use 30 convolutions and both shift and xfade

them in the correct sequence and frequency. Probably not easy

but it can be done.
If the Leslie effect is already done in softwared, you'd need some

'average' IR of the cabinet to add 'the wood'.
Just drop me a line if you need help in using Aliki to capture

the IR(s).
