The Leslie Rotary Speaker was a classic in the sixties; Hendrix, Harrison and more used it to create surreal sounds, the likes of which hadn’t been before. While not nearly as groundbreaking as it was back then, the rotary effect is still favoured for its naturally retro sound – so Danish wizards TC Electronic set about making a compact, affordable pedal that’ll transport you back in pure style.
Key Features
- Dynamic Emulation – Dynamic emulation of the classic Vibratone Rotating Speaker
- Chorale or Tremolo? – The toggle switch lets you choose between vintage-sounding Chorale or Tremelo setting
- Pedalboard Friendly – True bypass with a top-mounted I/O
- Rugged Chassis – Compact but roadworthy design
Vintage Tone Spinner
The classic sound of those old rotating speaker systems may have life as an effect designed for the electric organ, but guitarists have always pushed the envelope when it comes to finding new tones. They soon found that when they plugged a guitar in and turned up the tone cabinet tube amps, a surprisingly sweet and dynamic overdrive sound was created – one that has been immortalized on myriad classic rock recordings.
Simple Controls, Authentic Response
VIBRACLONE ROTARY’s Drive knob lets you dial-in that same sweetly organic and rich tube amp sustain accompanied by the lush modulation of a rotating speaker. You have the choice of either the slow and rich Chorale setting, or the fast, almost watery-sounding Tremolo setting – just like the original. Turn the Speed knob to adjust the delayed response from the pedal, which simulates the acceleration/deceleration of the speaker cone – once again, just like the real thing.
