Rotary Cabinet Simulator. Made by Hughes & Kettner. (EM.ROTOSPHEREMKII)


The Rotosphere successfully captures the sound of a rotating speaker system with stunning accuracy, down to the finest detail!

Rotary cabinets inspired many magical moments of music history. Actually developed for electric organs, pop and rock icons of the ‘60s and ‘70s 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.

Features:

  • Successfully captures the sound of a rotating speaker system with stunning accuracy, down to the finest detail.
  • 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 only a fraction of 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.
