Name the instrument: "Baby Come Back" by Player

This is a guitar going through a Leslie Rotary Speaker ... it was a fad in those days.  Hope this helps.

^^^ This
From 0:13 - 0:24 it's a single guitar line
From 0:25 - 0:36 it's a harmonized guitar line 
 
of course, there is reverb and maybe a little delay added as well.

Are you sure it is a Leslie Rotary speaker?
 
I have never played through a real Leslie Rotary speaker (so what do I know) but the oscillation rate on that sound in the video seems pretty fast. Can a Leslie Rotary speaker rotate that fast?
 
Plus, there seems to be almost a "wah" type of affect. Could it be a phaser? I have played phasers that kind of sound like that.
 
Either way, it sounds pretty cool. I had forgot about that song. I think the last time I heard it was on the Simpsons when Homer lost Maggie when he was baby sitting her :-)

Could be any one of a number of effects. I doubt it's a physical rotating speaker, though, it's something electronic. If I get a chance tonight I'll see if I can come up with something. It would be a fun puzzle.

An interesting article about Leslie cabinets mentioning "Baby Come Back" as an example of playing guitar through a Leslie http://www.theatreorgans.com/hammond/faq/mystery/mystery.html 

Oh. Well there you go. :-)

Here's the closest I could come with the Sonitus Modulator, without obsessing.
 

 
It still sounds a lot more like a phaser with feedback than a Leslie, although I suppose they could have fed some of the signal back at the console.

FWIW, I tried getting this sound with Guitar Rig's Rotator and also with their Phaser 9. No question the phaser nailed the sound much, much closer than the rotating speaker emulator, which didn't come close. Leslies just didn't have that kind of resonance.
 
If you want to hear guitar through Leslie, listen to Cream's "Badge" starting at about 1:09:

It's the slower Leslie speed, but you can hear it has a completely different character. This is the guitar sound I recall getting on Mandrake's "Puzzle" album.

Yeah, I would have guessed phase shifter too, had I not found the article which I linked above. Of course, it does not go into any detail about the recording.

If it is a Leslie, it's the only guitar-through-Leslie-at-the-higher-speed I've heard with that timbre. I think the bottom line is that if someone wants to reproduce that sound, they'll come a lot closer with a phase shifter than with a Leslie. Player may have been using one of the many Leslie simulators, like the Rotovibe, and that detail didn't make it into the article.
 
Listen to the opening to the J Geils' band "The Usual Place"...that's what a guitar through a Leslie at high speed sounds like. It has much more in common with tremolo than a phase shifter.
 
Oh, and to keep the lawyers at bay...Leslie is trademarked by Hammond Suzuki, USA Inc.

There's a couple of Peter Frampton songs on his live album from back in the day. When he switches to fast speeds you can tell it is not the same timbre as an electronic effect such as a phaser or flanger. I think "Do You Feel Like I Do" that has the best example of guitar thru leslie at fast speed. 

390 rpm at 4/4 is 97.5 bpm.

Just because it's stated in a published article doesn't necessarily mean it's correct. The same article also claims that Alan Price used a Hammond Organ on "House of the Rising Sun", contradicting other sources that say he used a Vox Continental.

It was definitely a Vox Continental.  No Hammond could produce such a "crappy" sound ;-)  They used to tour a lot and I think they didn't wanna lug a B3 around everywhere ...

rotor sound !

The coolest thing about the Leslie was being able to accelerate and decelerate between the two speeds....

That's what I miss about the Maestro, too.  Some emulations attempt that to capture that inertia, but...
 
I stumbled across a guy trying this in a TC Electronic G-System.  Sounds a bit too "wow-y" for my tastes, but it's still interesting see the process dissected, including the harmonized line.  (I might've gone with C# Aeolian, though.)
 
70's Week!!!  Re-creation Theory: Baby Come Back

So, sure sounds like the good old UNI VIBE to me.

One of the Leslie Sims that haven't been mentioned is the one contained in Native Instruments B4.  You can use an instance as an insert effect to get not only the Doppler effect with the bass rotor slow down inertia and the tube amp grind.  I would hope that B4 II and Vintage Organs retained that capability.
 
I've used this as a clip plug-in on a live multi-track recording to dress up the keyboard player's organ patch (that was less than stellar).
