It’s an analog Rotary Speaker Simulator. I bought it to replace my Neo Instruments Mini Vent II.

I’ve used many digital rotary sims over the years. The Mini Vent II was the most accurate and works well with dirt pedals. But, like any digital sim, it’s kinda flat, one dimensional, lacking in depth.

The Rototron was designed by Howard Davis, the same guy who designed the Deluxe Memory Man, Deluxe Electric Mistress, Talking Pedal, Clone Theory, Deluxe Big Muff Pi and many others. It was released in 2014 and made for a few years, then discontinued.

It’s very inspiring to play through. It sounds 3D immersive fed through dual amps. It creates an illusion of spinning movement.
