Rotate fully left: No effect.

Type Explanation

TYPE I

Characteristics of the most frequently used rotary speakers.

TYPE II

Characteristics of the large vacuum tube amps that were an

indispensable element of the British hard rock of the 70’s, and

that continue to be favored by many hard rock guitarists.

TYPE III

The character of a rotary speaker often used for rock organ.

TYPE IV

This adds the characteristic rotary speaker sound used for a

wide range of tones, from a clean sound to heavy overdrive.

What’s more, a new type of system is used that allows you to

change the amount of overdrive without causing the volume

to change, making level settings a breeze.
