Hughes and Kettner Rotosphere mkII Tube-Driven Rotating-Speaker Simulator Pedal
Rotary cabinets inspired many magical moments of music history. Actually developed for electric organs, pop and rock icons of the ë60s and ë70s discovered that this fat, 3D effect works wonders with guitar signals. The Rotosphere¬ has supplanted the rotary cabinet; today it is a fixture of many guitar heroes‰ rigs. Rather than replicating the complex processes of the original using virtual models, the Rotosphere¬ achieves its effect via real tubes and the dynamic interplay of analog circuits. What makes the Rotosphere¬‰s performance so convincing is authentic-sounding deceleration and acceleration and a Breaker switch (a popular modification to Leslie* cabinets of yore). Like the original, the Rotosphere¬ offers two rotation speeds and fine harmonic tube distortion generated by an ingenious high-voltage tube circuit. In stereo mode it delivers awe-inspiring tonal complexity and dynamics, making it nearly impossible to distinguish from the original. In a nutshell, the Rotosphere¬ delivers the tone, response and vibe of a Tube Leslie* in a compact, easy-to-handle device. Back to the future! Guitarists enjoy a cool "new" option for creating spinning, swirling sounds, while keyboardists finally get that trusty Hammond tone in a level of quality that rivals the original. But in marked contrast to the original, all this comes in an affordable, transportable package. Rotosphere mkII Tube-Driven Rotating-Speaker Simul Features• Accelerates and decelerates very naturally, unlike digital effects.• Adds a very natural expressiveness to guitar/keyboard sound that cannot be obtained any other way than a rotating speaker system. • Weighs much less than a rotating speaker system. • Costs much less than a rotating speaker system. • Uses Hughes & Kettner tube technology to produce subtle "growl" of a classic rotating speaker system. • So easy to use that you barely need to open the manual. Just plug and play. • True stereo, so it works great with today's keyboards. • Can be optimized for different instruments by flipping a switch. • Can be controlled remotely with an external footswitch or MIDI-controlled switcher, if desired. • Heavy-duty metal housing is built rugged to handle abuse. • Version II adds a speed adjustment for the fast and slow speeds as well as a blue backlight. • *LESLIE¬ is a registered trademark of SUZUKI-HAMMONDTechnical Description • Weight • With AC power pack: 4.5 lbs. • Without AC power pack: 3.75 lbs. • Dimensions (W x H x D) • 205 x 80 x 215mm (8 x 3-1/4 x 8-1/2 in.) • Electrical • Maximum current consumption: 720 mA at 13.4 V AC • Maximum power draw: 10 VA • Power supply: Use original power pack only • Tube: 1 x ECC 83 or 12 AX 7A • Input sensitivity • Right/Mono: -20 to +10 dB • Left: -20 to +10 dB at Input impedance 1 MW • Output level • Right/Mono: 0 to +12 dB • Left: 0 to +12 dB • Impedance: 3 kW Rotosphere mkII Tube-Driven Rotating-Speaker Simul Reviews..
