Hello everybody!
I would like to experiment a bit with the cumbus with effects.
I love the elektro saz sound with effects they are using in turkey and I was curious to understand which kind of on-board effect they have to be able
to reproduce them with cumbus.
After some research I think I understood it is a kind of leslie (is it?) but combined with what?
I found that video and this could be what I want to achieve with cumbus also

A Leslie is a kind of speaker, where the cone spins to create a weird vibrato effect. Hammond organs used them.
I'd guess the pickups have a lot to do with it. Early bağlama pickups were just guitar ones that didn't come close to matching the string
spacing. I'd guess the best ones these days are hand-wound? (Cümbüş pıckups are still just guitar ones, no?)

Hello Jack,
I don't think the pickup have something to do with the kind of sound Im looking for, it seems to be classic pick up.
when I said lesle for sure I meant a false emulation of leslie in a pedal.
Somebody have some more infos?
Thanks!
