Model Switch.

Roto-Machine pedal brings huge, three-dimensional rotating speaker sounds right to your pedalboard. From dreamy clean to swirling overdrive, Roto-Machine has those signature sounds you could only get from the original - until now! This stompbox sized marvel gives you those classic sounds that will fill the room with swirly vibe.

Model Switch
This switch is used to select three distinctly different types:
145 - Based on* the Leslie 145.

L16 - Based on* the Fender Vibratone (model 16)

122 - Based on* the Leslie 122
Ramp Switch - Ramp controls how long it takes the speed to go from Fast to Slow. Select between a Fast, Medium, or Slow ramp time.

Speed Controls
Fast Knob - Controls how quickly the horn and drum rotates. This control has a range that doesn't overlap with the Slow speed control.

Slow Knob - Controls how slowly the horn and drum rotates. This control has a range that doesn't overlap with the Fast speed control.

Drive Knob - This knob controls the amount of overdrive in the tube amplifier stage of Roto-Machine. Turn it up for that classic swirling growl!

Blend Knob - Fine-tunes the mix balance of the horn and drum.

Tap Tempo - Using the innovative ToneCore double-action footswitch, you can switch between the two different speed knobs. The Tap Tremolo indicator light flashes the tempo in green when the effect is ON and amber when the effect is OFF.

The Line 6 Roto-Machine will always be part of my studio and live venue set up.
Sound
As a pro keyboardist and long time Leslie user I am very critical about sound-alikes and modelers. The Line 6 Roto-Machine is by far the biggest bang for the buck for simulating rotating speakers that is or ever has been on the market. The Line 6 Roto also blends well in the mix. Hard to tell that it's really not Leslie speaker cabs you're hearing with the rest of the band.
Features
I'd be willing to pay more for an ac adapter that's included with the unit at purchase.
Ease of Use
Very user friendly
Value
Big bang for the buck!

The Wow Factor
This is a must have for any organist's and/or guitar player's gig bag. Great for fast set up, short, or limited space gigs. The folks at Line 6 have out done themselves with this one. I'd be glad to do an organ demo using the Roto Machine anytime.
