Pigtronix Rototron - Manual (Page 3)

1. Welcome
Thank you for entering the realm of Pigtronix.
Your new Rototron is an all-analog rotary speaker simulator effect that
achieves unsurpassed 3D realism in a compact, easy-to-use pedal.
The
Pigtronix Rototron effectively recreates the complex acoustic phenomenon
of the legendary dual-rotor 122 and 147 Leslie cabinets as used by Peter
Frampton, Danny Gatton, the Beatles and many others. Independent Slow
and Fast speed controls with adjustable ramp time allow musicians to enjoy
the mesmerizing sound of speeding up and slowing down an actual rotary
cabinet. A remotely switchable Brake function completes the authentic ex-
perience, while independent expression pedal jacks for the low and high
rotors enable some entirely new variations on psychedelic bliss—without the
back-breaking hassle.
The Rototron utilizes a Quadrature LFO to drive simultaneous frequency
modulation, phase shifting, tremolo, bucket brigade-based chorusing. These
voices have been meticulously combined using a Linkwitz-Riley crossover
deutsign to generate a three-dimensional acoustic hologram. The analog
circuitry used within the Rototron sounds warmer, fatter and feels far more
realistic than the digital rotary effects currently available from other compa-
nies. Line-level headroom and full-stereo i/o complete this utterly hypnotic
rotary simulator from Pigtronix.
In keeping with Pigtronix tradition, the controls on your Rototron have been
tuned to provide the fattest possible tone and the widest range of musical
possibilities. Rototron was born out of a passion for versatile, expressive
musical effects; it is built to last and designed to inspire.
We hope that the Rototron will provide you with years of creative satisfac-
tion.
