All user reviews for the Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere MKII

The Hughes & Kettner Tube Rotosphere MKII is rotary effect guitar pedal. As the name states, the pedal is Tube based and it has 1/4 inch connections. It is not rackable, as it a foot pedal and is powered by the power supply that comes with it. The pedal is bigger than most, but it is built like a brick and extremely sturdy.


UTILIZATION

The configuration of the pedal is pretty easy to follow. You've got knobs for drive and output, and another knob for rotor balance with each extreme being HF/LF, its kind of like a tone knob. There are then buttons for bypass, breaker, and to set how slow-fast you want the rotary to go. The end result is a sound similar to that of a Leslie speaker cabinet. The manual for this is well put together and is helpful when learning all the ins and outs of this pedal.


SOUND QUALITY

I sound quality of the rotary effect on the Hughes & Kettner Rotosphere is the best I have heard when it comes to pedals. It is rich and fat in tone and is an awesome emulator of a Leslie speaker. The tone is clear while the tubes provide for a warm, fat signal. It is easy to get a quick good signal from, and has a good amount of versatility. Overall, the sound quality of this pedal is awesome.


OVERALL OPINION

I've been using the Hughes & Kettner Rotosphere for about a year and I have found it to be the best rotary guitar pedal out there. It is easy to get an awesome sound from it and the tubes provide a great deal of warmth and fullness. While this pedal is about double the price than the Boss RT-20 rotary ensemble, the sound is much better in my opinion, and I think the RT-20 sound pretty great! While the price will drive most away, this sound quality on this is worth it for professional players looking for an effect like this. Highly recommended to all interested in making your guitar sound like it is being run through a Leslie cabinet!

GROSSE PDAL
no, it's not an insult, but the fact that the pedals takes up space on the ground.

One fact, Leslie. But what made: it looks real!

Few rglages. I use the words drum and wrong, like on a real Leslie, but here, of sr is the formulation. But it is more convenient to explain.

Saturation of the lamp output level, Tone (?)
Bypass switch (rel)
a switch Slow / Fast (for the rotation of the drum and horn)
a switch "Breaker" for stopping or re-rotation effects

UTILIZATION

Config mga simple. there is little rglages, as I said dj.

Breaker trs useful for non rptitifs effects (the trumpet and the drum does not dclrent the same speed, and the acclration is same).

SOUND QUALITY

Trsraliste effect: the strength of the machine.
Used with many sr organs, but with guitars (my case) or voice.

We hear gnrations songs with this machine-l! The saturation of the lamp can be changed to smear the grain as it should (but does not distort, eh?). Ideal with guitars.
Effect trs typ do not in place everywhere.

Effect of progressive enough breaker according to the pros, it may be somewhat true. We would like it to last a little longer. So no max score for a.

OVERALL OPINION

Find the sound of the legendary Leslie, for much less, much less cumbersome, more reliable.

Effect trs typ is what I was looking for. Excellent pedals for this purpose.

CHRE even when a hair (about 2200 USD new when I bought it). What justifies my bill.

the connection is explained in other post.
analog emulation, very strong in manufacturing
great look the look HK

UTILIZATION

very easy to use one branch we play and go, it's really as simple as a leslie effect on / off slow or fast.

SOUND QUALITY

I use the guitar with two twin reverb amp a 64 AND A JUNIOR BLUES. That means fouil

OVERALL OPINION

I just acquire compared to a Roger Mayer has nothing to do, the voodoo vibe is a Univibe is inflated like a chorus but it must be said that the best guys in the studio 's Leslie is the same as live but was not necessarly the courage given the weight and the ink inconvnient to move and he should have.

superb pedal hesitated between roto and voodoo (which is fairly complete level adjustment) I bought the roto and I'm seduced.
a bit of breath but he must be sent at once to signal more to reduce it.

for what I do as it helps me a lot components for rhythmic enriched sonoritbr />
shame you do not meet him sooner.
ah yes the breaker is very short, but on advice of friends on the leslie is served on off, slow or fast it all.
From this point of view they're the fool.
