- Eigenschaften
- The Dunlop Rotovibe JD-4S is a chorus and vibrato pedal enclosed in an expression pedal/wah-wah type of pedal casing. It is an analog pedal, consisting of 1/4" TRS connections and the ability to be powered up by either nine volt power supply or battery. It isn't rack mountable as it is a foot controlled pedal.
- Anwendung
- The make up of the Dunlop Rotovibe JD-4S is very easy to follow and understand. The pedal has two modes to choose from - either chorus or vibrato, and a large knob to set the intensity of your chosen effect. You can control the modulation speed of your sound with the foot pedal itself. That's really all that you need to know about the configuration of the pedal, as there isn't anything else to control in terms of parameters. A manual isn't necessary for this reason, although I've never seen it so I can't speak to how well put together it is.
- Klang
- While not the most versatile chorus/vibrato pedal that I've used, the Dunlop Rotovibe JD-4S does provide some pretty awesome sounds. I've used the pedal with a Fender Stratocaster and a 1976 Fender Twin Reverb, which definitely gave me a pretty good idea about what the pedal sounds like. It isn't the best simulator of a Leslie that I have heard from a pedal, but it does sound pretty damn good. I like the vibrato mode better overall, but both of the modes are pretty comparable in terms of sound quality. The best feature that the Rotovibe JD-4S has over other pedals of this type is definitely that it has the expression pedal to change your sound on the fly...
- Gesamteindruck
- I don't think that I would recommend the Dunlop Rotovibe JD-4S to everyone looking at a chorus/vibrato pedal, but only a select group who think that they will be using the expression pedal to its maximum capacity. While the sound of the pedal is definitely enough to warrant getting this pedal, there are a lot pedals out there for the same price and cheaper that have similar sound qualities and more control. All in all though this is a great pedal that should at least be on the list of pedals to check out if you're in the market for a chorus/vibrato pedal...

- This is basically a vibrato effect with expression pedal or a chorus effect with expression pedal. I am assuming it is analog, but I am not 100% sure. The only editing you get is modulation control with the foot pedal, intensity control with knob on the side, and a switch for chorus or vibrato. It cannot be hooked up to a computer. It is only 1/4" audio in and out and it is not rackable.
- Anwendung
- Its very easy to set up. Plug it in. Step down to activate, select chorus or vibrato (I alway forget which one is which, one turns the light yellow, the other turns it green) and adjust the intensity. Thats it. There is really no need for a manual. I never looked at one and was able to figure it out very shortly.
- Klang
- I honestly don't care for this pedal overall. The vibrato is pretty fun because of the expression pedal, but in order to turn it on, you need to push the pedal all the way down, and that means you always have to start at minimal vibrato and adjust it back up. It would have been nice if there was another way to activate it so you didn't have to reset it everytime you wanted to turn it on. The chorus is ok. I own a Diamond halo chorus and the Rotovibe can't even touch that baby. I used to use this in my synth/alt vocals Mixer's effect chain to create some crazy vibrato effects, but in the end, I took it out of my arsenal and am trying to sell it. The

- I have had it for six months and I never really used it during that time. What I like about it was the idea of the built in expression pedal, but when I got it, I realized the activation flaw and was very sad ): Also, it doesn't even have stereo options, whats the deal with that. Even cheap boss chorus pedals have that. Again, if you want fantastic chorus, get the Diamond halo chorus, or even and Analog man chorus pedal. Either one will make the rotovibe look childish. Overall, I am disappointed in this pedal. I got mine used for $100 and I regret it very much.
