Well, if you're interested I've got a Mesa Revolver for sale. It's a Leslie-type rotating speaker, but designed from the ground up for guitars & gigs: 1/4" input, heavy-duty wheels & handles, two-button footswitch (speed & on/off.) I'm asking $750+shipping for it (these list for about $1700, and I bought mine new a year ago.)

As far as overdrive, the I've had the best luck with Ibanez Tube Screamers. I happen to have a spare one of these as well, but the switch is a bit flakey - if you buy the Mesa cabinet, I'll throw it in for free!

I'm using a Real Tube II preamp which has a good distortion channel. I get a good rotary effect from my Lexicon MX-100. My only gripe is that the MX-100 can't combine the rotary with reverb/echo. You need two of them for that.
