he world of guitar modulation effects can
sometimes be a confusing one. The Leslie
rotating speaker was just that: a rotating
speaker which gave a unique rotary effect. Then
came the Uni-Vibe, which itself sought to recreate the
rotary effect, but in doing so, created an entirely new
effect all its own. Then there are chorus, vibrato, and
phaser pedals, all of which seem to cover some similar
territory depending on where you set the knobs.
However, players who seek that original, unique rotary
modulation need not worry—there are plenty of rotary
in a box options. Be it full-featured Leslie emulators or
respectable facsimiles, there are a lot of good choices.
I present to you a handful of pedals that will get your
head spinning.
“...A ROTARY PEDAL IS
RIGHT AT HOME DOING
ORGAN SOUNDS, OR
GIVING YOU A SPOT
ON ‘COLD SHOT’ TONE,
BUT THERE’S A LOT OF
TERRITORY WAITING TO BE
DISCOVERED OUT THERE.”
