Includes footswitch. Spring reverb.

A Super Symmetrical clean/overdrive 12AX7 pre-amp with pre and post EQ, and a real mechanical Rotor with fast/slow/stop footswitch and adjustable speed controls, combines lush rotary chorus and classic tremolo with traditional non-rotary Guitar 100 watt RMS amplification!

The AR-112 SideWinder can be used with an AB switch to route your guitar to your amp or to the AR-112 when rotary chorus and tremolo are needed. Since the AR-112 has a Stop control on the footswitch, you can also use it as your only amp switching from stop to preset slow or fast speed as your music demands. The 12AX7 overdrive gain control can be subtle, or super blues with sustain, and has all the warmth and soul only a real tube can provide. The pre tube contour control allows you to even the overdrive from low notes to screaming highs by adjusting the tone before it hits the 12AX7. Post tube EQ and volume controls can then adjust the sound, as you desire.

"Motion Sound AR 112 SIDEWINDER"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Couldn't be happier. I used to own one of the Fender guitar 'Leslie" cabinets that I powered with a Super Reverb. This Motion Sound is much easier to lug around, sounds better, has a better rotor mechanism, and is just all-around better thought out. The tube pre-amp helps tremendously. Don't know why they discontinued it. (?)

Musical Background:

40 plus years of guitar. Pro- turned retired.

Musical Style:

Rock, blues, psuedo-jazz.
