Yes, because it’s rotating inside the cabinet. Very simple way of adding weird phase effects.

There were other effects (chorus and phase shifting tricks a la the Uni-Vibe) that could be used to emulate the same/similar sound that pretty rapidly became popular simply because of how fragile the Leslie speakers were and how annoying they were to deal with particularly on stage.

My understanding is that the Uni-Vibe was marketed as a “Leslie in a box”
