Panel descriptions

Use this jack to connect a separately sold AC adaptor (PSA series). By using an AC Adaptor, you can play without being concerned about how much battery power you have left.

• Use only the specified AC adaptor (PSA series) which is sold separately, and connect it to an AC outlet of the correct voltage.
• If the AC adaptor is connected while power is on, the power supply is drawn from the AC adaptor.

This indicator shows whether the effect is on/off, and also shows the rotary speed and the battery state.

The indicator lights when an effect is ON.

When the rotor rotation speed is set to FAST, the indicator lights up red; and when the rotor rotation speed is set to SLOW, the indicator lights up green.

• The brightness of the CHECK indicator (LED) will dim as the battery lowers. Replace the battery when the LED is dim or does not light. For details on how to replace, refer to “Replacing the battery”.

Connect these jacks to your amp or monitor speakers.

Use only the OUTPUT A (MONO) jack when using this unit in mono.

For stereo output, use the OUTPUT A (MONO) and OUTPUT B jacks.

When you connect to both the OUTPUT A (MONO) and OUTPUT B jacks, an effect is produced according to the OUTPUT MODE settings. For details, refer to “Selecting how the effect sound is output (OUTPUT MODE)”.

Connect your guitar, bass guitar, keyboard or effect unit to these jacks.

If you’re using this unit in mono, connect to the INPUT A (MONO) jack only. Use the INPUT A (MONO) and INPUT B jacks when connecting to an effect unit with stereo outputs.

The INPUT A (MONO) jack doubles as the power switch. The power turns on when you insert a plug into the INPUT A (MONO) jack.

Connect a footswitch or expression pedal here.

Using the jack as a CTL jack:

Connect a separately sold footswitch (FS-5U, FS-6, FS-7) to control the switching between SLOW/FAST or the brake feature.

Refer to “Using a footswitch” for the functions that can be assigned.

Using the jack as an EXP jack:

Connect a separately sold expression pedal (EV-30, Roland EV-5, etc.) to continuously change the effect settings for the expression pedal’s pushed-up (horizontal) position and for the pushed-down (slanted) position.

For more on function settings, refer to “Controlling the knob parameters using an expression pedal (EXP FUNCTION)”.

• Use only the specified expression pedal. Connecting any other expression pedals may cause the unit to malfunction or become damaged.

Turns the effect on/off, or switches between rotor speeds (SLOW/FAST). There are four types of pedal switches that you can change to suit your playing style. Type 1 is the factory setting.

Type 1: (effect on/off priority)

Lets you switch the effect on/off using the pedal. Long-press the pedal to toggle between SLOW and FAST.

Type 2: (SLOW/FAST priority)

Lets you switch between SLOW/FAST using the pedal. Long-press the pedal, then release the pedal to turn off the effect.

When you press the pedal while the effect is off, this turns the effect on.

Type 3: (effect on/off priority)

Lets you switch the effect on/off using the pedal. When the effect is on, the setting is always SLOW. The FAST setting is used only while you long-press the pedal.

Type 4: (effect on/off priority)

Lets you switch the effect on/off using the pedal. When the effect is on, the setting is always FAST. The SLOW setting is used only while you long-press the pedal.

Adjusts the rotation speed of the rotor when switched to FAST.

Adjusts the rotation speed of the rotor when switched to SLOW.

Adjusts the volume when the effect is on.

Adjusts the amount of distortion.

When the [MODE] switch is set to “III”, the amount of distortion and volume are emphasized.

• You can use the [DRIVE KNOB] switch to toggle the function of the [DRIVE] knob.

I:

This is the sound of the standard setting of a Leslie 122.
This is the most typical of the three modes, and can be used for a wide range of instruments.

II:

This is based on the sound of mode I, but is adjusted for a wider range.
When combined with other distortion effect units, a natural sense of spaciousness can be obtained.

III:

This is a new dimension of rotary sound that combines a strong sense of rotation and deeper distortion.
Compared to other modes, the attack feel, sonic definition and the amount of distortion are emphasized, offering greater presence in an ensemble setting.

The rotary speaker effect is shown by the movement of the indicator lights.

The red light indicates the rotation of the treble rotor, and the blue light indicates the rotation of the bass rotor.

Adjusts the rate of change when switching from SLOW to FAST or from FAST to SLOW.

SLOW:

The switching time is slower.

FAST:

The switching time is faster.

Toggles the function of the [DRIVE] knob.

DRIVE:

Adjusts the amount of distortion.

BALANCE:

Adjusts the balance between the treble rotor and the bass rotor.

The most recent DRIVE and BALANCE values from the last time the knob was operated are stored in memory.
When the unit is reset to its factory settings, DRIVE is reset to the minimum value and BALANCE is set to the center.
