Hughes & Kettner

Foolproof Leslie simulation.

Like the original rotary cabs, the Hughes & Kettner Tube Tools Tube Rotosphere MKII offers 2 rotation speeds and fine harmonic tube distortion generated by an ingenious high-voltage tube circuit. In stereo mode the Rotosphere offers awe-inspiring tonal complexity and dynamics, making it nearly indistinguishable from the original Leslie.

Features

  • High-voltage tube circuit with drive and output knobs for authentic tube growl
  • Easy to use and transport, particularly in comparison to a real Leslie
  • Hip sounds for guitar or organ
  • Faithful replication of breaker switch
  • 2 rotation speeds and independent acceleration and deceleration for top and bottom rotor
  • Variable final speed for both rotors
  • Real bypass
  • Stereo input and output

A cool new option for spinning, swirling sounds with tone to rival the original. Order today.

I got to use this pedal last night at a gig after i saw my friend had it on his board the night before so he let me use it through my set.  My set up goes as such. Fender Strat > Boss OC2> ts9 > Roto > Mini Q Tron > Delay > MXR Micro Amp > Fender Hot Rod Deville 212.  Alone, this pedal adds a lot of treble, it sounds pretty good but i had to compensate by lowing the guitars tone all the way down.  The fast and slow switch was very cool, great for accents on certain parts.  I think if you turn the knob on the far right it would let up on the trebleyness but i thought that controlled the speed at the time so i didnt mess.  Sound alright with the ts9, i wouldnt reccomend using with the delay or octave or q tron, not the best sound but some might find it cool i guess. Overall it you're thinking about getting this pedal, its very very expensive so try it out before you do and play with it because you may not get the sound your looking for or you might find the holy grail.

I bought this pedal a couple of years ago after reading in a article that Noel Gallagher of Oasis used the previus version of this pedal to record Who Feels Love, Gas Panic and Little by Little, well let me tell you, it sounds amazing, just like the record, very vintage tone, it also sound amazing playing The Beatles songs. Obviusly you have to connect this pedal to a valve amp and use a guitar with humbuckers to get the best., better if you play clean. The pedal is big and heavy and cmes with a cool neon lights, very fine material, you will need large effect cables, its very expensive pedal beacause sounds like a real leslie effect, don't buy toys like the Dunlop univibe, get a real one

Best for KEYS/ORGAN, not guitar

As a lifelong guitarist who also plays keys I gotta ask - If you're looking for that Badge sound for a tune or two, why on earth are you going to invest in this unit? Sorry, I don't get it. Yup, it is bright and harsh for guitar compared to a standard chorus, so stick to your chorus with the speed cranked if that floats your boat. What this excellent Leslie sim does is provide the best currently available processing for organ, whether it's your Hammond portable or your synth. One major caveat: it IS somewhat noisy, no way to deny that, and your engineer & producer will nix it in the studio... unless you mitigate the noise as best as possible before they get an earful. Live, NO  problem - there really isn't enough hiss to be noticed. The first thing you want to always do is get away from the 12-and-12 setting for the pre- and post- volumes. Virtually ALL the hiss comes from the output (post) drive, so back that sucker to 10:00 and boost the drive to 2:00 (that's around 4 and 6 in knob language) and your organs will still be plenty clean. Why should you have to work with the hiss for this cost, why isn't there a built-in gate? Can't answer that, but the TONE is so wonderful that I don't care. If I took this in the studio I'd sneak a noise gate after it in the signal path and not worry a bit. There's nothing that compares to the H&K for warmth and authentic Leslie sound, but beware - once you set it up in a stereo rig, you may be addicted to dragging TWO keyboard amps to every gig. It really is that luscious in stereo. I use this with a Roland JV1010 module (with all the organ sounds in the Keyboards of 60's & 70's expansion module) midi'd off my Kurzweil SP76 as controller.

First off, this pedal sounds amazing.  I play through a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe on the clean channel and the quality of sound is incredible.  The breaker feature is great, it gives a nice clean overdrive sound to your rig.  If I'm not using the pedal as a rotary cabinet effect, the pedal is always on with the breaker on.  As for the rotary feature (what you'd buy this pedal for), the sound is nice.  It can get your guitar sounding like an organ if you so desire if it's on the higher speed.  On the slower setting the sound is sweet, with a kind of gentle tremelo to it.  The two major downsides to this is 1) it's EXPENSIVE.  Make sure you want it and know exactly what it does before you buy it. And 2) using the rotary effect on a drive channel of your amp or using another distortion effect with it (either before or after the rotosphere) can mud the sound significantly.  This is why I stay on the clean channel.  All in all though a great pedal if used right.

So I went to the NAMM show recently and decided to try this out. Man was I impressed. The sound is just fantastic. I expected it to be brittle, but it definately wasn't. Just needed a small tweak on the amp, but that's it. Hopefully, when I can save up enough money, I'll buy one.
