It is a small pedal which simulates a Leslie. I do not really mind about the technology, but I suspect that we are dealing with analog.
The appearance is a little cheap, and switches are downright bad. Otherwise, but it is a constant in Danelectro, access to the battery is not insane ease. (In any case it is preferable to go through a power supply external.)

UTILIZATION

This pedal is supplied without a manual, but it is superfluous anyway as it is easy to solve the beast: you have a drive, speed control and two switches which can enable or mute the effect of activating and or not the rotary engine.
Clearly, adjustments are childish.

SOUND QUALITY

Well, frankly, this pedal is not a complete success. It is quite difficult to control the impact on the overall volume without losing the interest of the effect by itself.
Similarly, we get the sounds are very interesting, but in my opinion just as difficult to use because it is not very clean. It's a shame because in any case, the saturation drive is far from horrible, but it adds background fast enough unpleasant (even when used like me with a Fender and a spitting Tele with simple winding ...), so the rotary effect offers many opportunities but did not reveal it so cute ... In fact, it is still quite far from the effect of a real Leslie, but the idea is there and can sometimes give his guitar sounds a bit saturated, which resemble a tone wheel organ. But we are still in the idea, without ever reaching the heady warmth we like yet so trying to get this Rocky Road.

I guess for the ultra low price of this pedal, it is difficult to ask for more, but I was willing to spend a little more for the same hull with a more robust and shielding quality.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had more than two years now and I must admit that I'm using it very infrequently. In fact, she adds me on stage so much noise interference and its volume is so hard to solve as I prefer to go into the studio and its sound is really too cheap to be nice and I also prefer to do without (at Frankly, if I wanted to sound like this, I would find a real cab or a software emulation of quality). In fact this is my Rocky Road to find his ideas, but I almost always ended by saying that an organ would be warmer anyway ...

I recommend this pedal has a very good background but technical design prevents full use of its possibilities.
