A few days ago I was digging thru the release notes of all firmwares, and noticed that pretty much every effect has received at least one major update since the axe fx III came out.
All except the rotary block.
Don't get me wrong, it's already excellent at recreating a classic leslie sound, but what I think is missing is a bit of versatility and/or some additional models.
Just adding a few parameters to tweak the sound might be a huge advancement in that regard and we might be able to simulate some other rotating speakers design.
For example:
Maybe having additional models would be easier and more immediate, but with these parameters we could already "build" virtual recreations of something like a fender vibratone, yamaha ra-200, maestro rover, doppolas, etc..
A few years ago I had already posted a wish about this in the axe fx II wish section, but it seems that's gone now.

For example:
- selector for number of rotating speakers
- low and high cut for every rotating speaker to set their bandwidth/frequency response (instead of a fixed crossover point as we have now)
- vertical/horizontal rotation switch for each speaker (or alternatively independent width and pan controls)
- independent speed and acceleration controls/multipliers
- brake switch
