Pigtronix
Description
Pigtronix Rototron is an all-analog rotary speaker effect that combines frequency modulation, phase shifting, tremolo, bucket brigade-based chorusing and a three-way crossover all meticulously voiced to achieve unsurpassed, three-dimensional rotary realism in a compact, easy to use pedal.

Designed by Howard Davis and David Koltai, the Pigtronix Rototron accurately recreates the complex acoustic phenomenon of the legendary dual rotor 122 and 147 cabinets as used by Peter Frampton, Danny Gatton, the Beatles and many more. The analog design approach used within the Rototron sounds warmer, fatter and feels far more realistic than the digital rotary effects currently available from other companies. Line-level headroom and full stereo input and output options make the Rototron ideally suited to keyboardists as well as guitarists who use a stereo setup live or in studio.

Independent Slow and Fast speed controls with adjustable ramp time allows musicians to achieve the mesmerizing sound of speeding up and slowing down an actual rotary cabinet. A remotely switchable Brake option completes the authentic experience to provide rotary bliss on stage without the back breaking hassle. Separate expression pedal jacks for the low and high rotors enable some entirely new variations on the classic rotary sound. Internally switchable input summing and mid-range panning options round out this incredibly flexible, easy to use and hypnotic sounding analog rotary simulator from Pigtronix.

    i was sent a used pedal no power supply, box, manual, & 3 of the knobs were painted gold! Customer no service said I have to call the 5 stores that have it in stock & have them verify that the floor demo is complete & in new condition! Really? This is my final purchase from Guitar Center!!!!!!! They let every kid in town beat the death out of the gear & expect you to pay new price, I'm done.

  • Real Leslie sound!

    After going through several pedals that basically simulate the same sound, this ones ease of use is down to one or two knobs, and compared to a real cab, recordings show this thing actually sounds better and tweak ability is well thought out and obviously designed by a working musician (although extra switches and expression pedals are needed that which I already had) not to mention moving to the gig...This is a win win in my book! Well done Pigtronix!
