Leslie speaker?
I understand this is a bit of an outlier. But I like to play classic music, and sometimes a Leslie speaker is called for with a guitar.
If you want to add some Leslie to a guitar part, what do you use?

a little off topic,
but i use a pedal,
it's the Fulltone Mini Deja Vibe,
it's great for that univibe effect, psuedo leslie, and also has a killer vibrato on it.

I have the Melda and the PSP plug-ins, and an H&K Rotosphere and Pigtronix Rototron, and I like them all, but for guitar I still use an old Vibratone, I just haven't found a plug-in or pedal that sounds quite as good.
For keys I really like the PSP plug-ins, for insane effects the Melda plug-in can do wonders.
But I have yet to find a reason to put my Vibratone up on eBay

Bill I would not sell that in a million years. I have got something similar. I pulled a rotating speaker out of a Hammond (home) organ that is constructed in a similar way. It features a powerful 10" speaker and a rotating baffle in front of it and it stands vertically as well sending the sound out to the sides. It needs a power amp to drive the speaker but the effect is very strong. Great for synth pads and the like too. I have modified mine to turn a little slower in the chorale mode too.

As an organist, Leslie emulation is a big deal to me so I've tried just about everything out there. For live playing, I use a stompbox called a Neo Instruments Ventilator, which is by far the most accurate sim I've found.
But for computer-based effects, that title goes to the Leslie emulator in VB3. For 50 bucks you don't just get the world's greatest faux-Hammond on a computer, it also comes with a separate DLL that's just the effects portion.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

IIRC, the VB3 fx plug-in is 32bit only. The synth is 32 or 64bit.

The Ventilator - If they made this pedal as a plugin I would buy it in a heartbeat. My last two keyboard players used this pedal for their national tours...Not only does it give you the rotary sound, it also makes your tone sound bigger...They are not cheap however... http://www.neo-instruments.de/en/ventilator/ventilator-features

I am really liking the new leslie gui in Amplitube 4! Although, I have been using the VB3 plugin and sometimes the older Native Instruments B4. I must mention when I was in 32 bit I used the freebies Mr. Mcdonald and Spinner Le. They yielded pretty good results depending on the mix.
