BYPASS
Buffered bypass eliminates the shortcomings associated with “true bypass” (pops and clicks, and
high-end loss when multiple pedals are connected together), as well as signal loss associated with
other types of switching circuits.
APPLICATIONS
As a STOMPBOX with an amp.
You can connect the Roto Choir in-line just as you
would a standard distortion or overdrive pedal. If the pre-amp of your guitar amplifier is imparting
too much of its own character on the pedal, plug into the low level input and set the pre-amp as
clean and neutral as possible. Since most amps tend to be on the bright side, you may need to
start with High below 12 o’clock and then adjust as necessary.
Equipped with a stereo output, you can get the full rotating speaker effect with the Roto Choir.
Simply run your instrument to the input of the Roto Choir and connect a 1/4” stereo output
splitter cable to two amplifiers.
For DIRECT RECORDING into a mixer or computer.
All of the tone shaping and
cabinet emulation needed is already incorporated into the pedal, giving you the perfect sound
“right out of the box.” The Roto Choir automatically converts your instrument signal to Low Z
allowing you to plug into a variety of inputs that would normally load down your instrument’s sig-
nal. You can plug directly into mixers (live and studio), workstation/ recorders, and even directly
into the sound card on a computer.
TIP: For stereo, pan the left and right mixer controls at 10:00 and 2:00, respectively.
PLACEMENT NOTES
1) Place the following effects BEFORE the Roto Choir:
External distortion/ Overdrive, Compression, Wah
Place the following effects
AFTER the Roto Choir:
Delay, Reverb
2) Vocal treatment: Patch into the insert point in the mixer or auxiliary return.
3) Keyboards: Use in-line as you would any other pedal.
NOTEWORTHY NOTES
1) Interaction with your other gear. You may need to use radically different settings for
each individual way you use the Roto Choir. Do not be discouraged or suspect something is wrong
with the unit. If you’ve got your sound, you’ve simply found the right balance to complement each
individual type of gear.
2) The Roto Choir is very responsive. Our controls are unusually sensitive and tend to
perform beyond what would be considered “normal.”
3) LED indicator light. When battery runs low, the LED becomes noticeably dim. Power con-
sumption is 50mA. With a fresh battery, you can expect approx. 10 hours of continuous use --more
than enough for a full gig. To conserve battery life, unplug unit during breaks and other times when
not in use. We recommend opting for a power supply, as it is environmentally-friendlier, will ensure
operation, save money, and relieve stress trying to remember when you last changed the battery.
