The Rotary effect
The rotary effect adds some great sonic drama to the organs, but can
of course be used with any other sound as well . The Electro 4 HP/SW
rotary has three available speeds: fast, slow and stop . Stop does not
disengage the effect; it only stops the rotating speakers .

Make sure that the Speaker/Comp effect is
activated and select the Rotary by pressing
the effect selector until both the upper
LEDs are lit .
The drive knob now controls the overdrive of the
rotary amplifier .
2
Press the Slow/Stop button in the Rotary
Speed section to the left on the panel, to
cycle between the Fast and Slow speeds
of the rotary .
The rotors will speed up and slow down, pro-
ducing a nice swirly effect without the negative
side effects that for example ingestion of certain
mushrooms might induce .
3
Press the Stop mode button to activate this one-speed mode .
The Stop Mode LED will be lit .
4
Press repeatedly on the Slow/Stop button to cycle between Fast
and Stop .
The rotary will now emulate the functionality of an early, one speed
original rotary speaker that had only the fast and the stopped rotary
speed options .
If you connect a foot switch to the rotor pedal input, you can
control the rotary speed with this pedal.
