No musician can deny the deep, swirling glory of a
vintage rotating speaker cabinet, that uniquely lush, pulsing tone that
brings any instrument to life. So, why doesn't everyone use one? Because
they are the size and weight of a bulky refrigerator, cost big bucks
and are more high-maintenance than a platinum diva.
But, imagine getting all of that
inspiringly rich modulation with cutting-edge features in a
studio-quiet, road-worthy pedal. Just one little pedal. Now imagine you
can use that pedal with guitar and to record direct.
The Roto Choir recreates both the
rotating lower speaker and the treble rotor horn --the only way to
attain that complex, multi-dimensional tone. In fact, the Roto Choir
utilizes a specifically formulated SansAmp technology to deliver the
entire signal chain --from the original tube power amp to the speaker
and high-frequency rotor horn, to the microphone used to capture it.
This is HD, 3D emulation.
The simple controls hide a wealth of
options. Drive adds just the right amount of compression, harmonics and
grit. Low and High sculpt the tube amp emulation with powerful EQ
curves. The Fast/Slow footswitch allows users to ramp up, slow down or
even stop the rotating speaker. There's also a dedicated control to
custom set the Top Speed of your rotor. Want to vary the intensity of
the effect? Simply adjust the Position control to move the Roto Choir's
virtual mic closer or further from the horns. Other features include a
biamped/single-speaker mode switch, stereo output and a Speaker Sim
switch for direct recording.
Find the easy way to celestial sounds you can get lost in with the Roto Choir.
