THE PIN W H E E L Thanks for purchasing The Pinwheel! This Rotary Speaker Emulator pedal makes it easy to add this unmistakable swirling sound to your tonal toolbox. Switchable Slow and Fast speeds let you spin up the perfect sound for your music, while the onboard Drive adds some texture to your tone. The Sensitivity control allows modulation rate changes based on your playing dynamics— dig in and the effect gets more intense. DESIGNED IN CALIFORNIA, U.S.A.
Drive The Drive control adds amp-like saturation to your instrument’s signal, just like classic rotary speaker cabinet and amplifier rigs. Tone This control affects the amount of high-frequency (treble) content in your instrument’s signal. Counter-clockwise sounds are darker, while the clockwise sounds are brighter. Fast This control sets the speed of the modulation when The Pinwheel’s Fast mode is engaged. Counter-clockwise settings are slower, and the clockwise settings are faster.
Sensitivity When the Slow mode is engaged, the Sensitivity control adjusts the threshold for The Pinwheel’s dynamically controlled rate. As the Sensitivity is turned clockwise, The Pinwheel can automatically switch from Slow to Fast settings with the changes in your instrument’s volume—softer playing will keep The Pinwheel set to your Slow settings; louder playing will send The Pinwheel ramping up to your Fast settings. Turn the Sensitivity control fully counter-clockwise to disable this feature.
Left/Mono Input Jack This is a high-impedance input suitable for electric guitar, bass, acoustic guitars with pickup systems, keyboards and other instruments. Use this jack in mono signal paths or in conjunction with the Right Input Jack to integrate The Pinwheel into stereo signal chains. Right Output Jack This is a low-impedance output jack that connects to the amp or to the next effect pedal in a stereo signal chain.
