Fender The Pinwheel Rotary Speaker Emulator Pedal

การแนะนำ

The Fender The Pinwheel Rotary Speaker Emulator Pedal is designed to replicate the classic swirling sounds of a rotary speaker, a sound traditionally associated with organs but widely adopted in modern music. This pedal offers three distinct rotary speaker voices, including Fender's unique Vibratone effect, allowing musicians to integrate this rich, modulated tone into their setup. It features switchable slow and fast speeds, an onboard overdrive for added tonal texture, and a sensitivity control that adjusts modulation rate based on playing dynamics. The pedal is built with a durable anodized aluminum chassis and includes LED-backlit knobs for visibility in various lighting conditions.

คุณสมบัติหลัก

• Three distinct rotary speaker voicings, including 122, 145, and Fender Vibratone.
• Switchable slow and fast speeds for dynamic modulation control.
• Integrated onboard overdrive circuit to add texture and warmth.
• Sensitivity control for dynamic modulation rate changes based on playing intensity.
• True stereo inputs and outputs for versatile connectivity.
• Expression pedal/external footswitch input for enhanced control.
• LED-backlit knobs for clear visibility on dark stagใช่
• Durable, lightweight anodized aluminum chassis.

การตั้งค่า

Before connecting your Fender The Pinwheel pedal, ensure all equipment is powered off to prevent damage.

1. การเชื่อมต่อไฟฟ้า: Connect a 9V DC power adapter (center-negative, 310mA minimum) to the 'DC IN' jack on the rear of the pedal. The pedal does not operate on internal batteries.
2. การเชื่อมต่อเสียง:
   • การตั้งค่าแบบโมโน: Connect your instrument to the 'IN' jack. Connect the 'L/MONO OUT' jack to your ampแอมป์หรือเอฟเฟ็กต์ตัวถัดไปในลำดับสัญญาณ
   • การตั้งค่าสเตอริโอ: Connect your instrument to the 'IN' jack. If your instrument has stereo output, connect it to both 'IN' and 'EXP/FS' jacks (ensure 'FS SELECT' switch is set to 'EXP'). Connect the 'L/MONO OUT' and 'R OUT' jacks to two separate ampเครื่องขยายเสียงหรืออุปกรณ์รับสัญญาณสเตอริโอ
3. การควบคุมภายนอก (ตัวเลือกเสริม): For an expression pedal or external footswitch, connect it to the 'EXP/FS' jack. Use the 'FS SELECT' switch on the rear panel to choose between 'EXP' (Expression Pedal) or 'FS' (Footswitch).
4. สวิตช์เสียง: On the rear panel, select 'GUITAR' or 'KEYBOARD' to optimize the pedal's frequency response for your instrument.
5. Dynamics Switch: On the rear panel, set 'DYNAMICS' to 'ON' to enable dynamic modulation rate changes based on your playing intensity, or 'OFF' for a consistent rate.
6. LEDs Switch: On the rear panel, set 'LEDs' to 'ON' to illuminate the control knobs, or 'OFF' to disable them.

การใช้งานแป้นเหยียบ

The Pinwheel pedal features two main sections: the overdrive/preamp emulation and the rotary speaker emulation.

การควบคุม:

• ไดรฟ์: Adjusts the amount of overdrive/distortion from the emulated tube power amplifier. Turn clockwise for more saturation.
• โทนเสียง: Shapes the overall tonal character of the overdrive.
• ระดับ: Controls the output volume of the overdrive section.
• เร็ว: Sets the speed of the fast rotary speaker effect.
• ช้า: Sets the speed of the slow rotary speaker effect.
• RAMP: Adjusts the transition time between slow and fast speeds. A higher setting results in a slower, more gradual ramp.
• สวิตช์โหมด: Selects one of the three rotary speaker voicings:
  • อันดับสูงสุด: Emulates a classic 122-type rotary speaker.
  • ตำแหน่งกลาง: Emulates a classic 145-type rotary speaker.
  • ตำแหน่งด้านล่าง: Emulates the Fender Vibratone speaker.
• SENS (ความไว): When the 'DYNAMICS' switch is 'ON', this knob determines how responsive the modulation speed is to your playing dynamics. Higher settings make the effect more intense with harder playing.

สวิตช์เท้า:

• บายพาส: Toggles the effect on/off. When the effect is active, the main LED will be green.
• SLOW/FAST (BRAKE): Switches between the slow and fast rotary speeds. Holding this footswitch will engage the 'BRAKE' function, gradually stopping the rotation.

การควบคุมภายนอก:

If an expression pedal is connected and 'FS SELECT' is set to 'EXP', the expression pedal can continuously vary the rotary speed between the 'SLOW' and 'FAST' settings. If an external footswitch is connected and 'FS SELECT' is set to 'FS', it will toggle between slow and fast speeds, mirroring the 'SLOW/FAST' footswitch on the pedal.

การซ่อมบำรุง

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Fender The Pinwheel pedal, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• การทำความสะอาด: ใช้ผ้าแห้งเนื้อนุ่มเช็ดทำความสะอาดภายนอกของแป้นเหยียบ หลีกเลี่ยงน้ำยาทำความสะอาดที่มีฤทธิ์กัดกร่อน สารละลาย หรือความชื้นมากเกินไป
• พื้นที่จัดเก็บ: เก็บแป้นเหยียบไว้ในที่แห้งและเย็น หลีกเลี่ยงแสงแดดโดยตรง อุณหภูมิที่สูงหรือต่ำเกินไป และความชื้นสูง
• แหล่งจ่ายไฟ: Always use a compatible 9V DC center-negative power supply with a minimum of 310mA. Using an incorrect power supply can damage the unit and void the warranty.
• การเชื่อมต่อ: Periodically check all cable connections for wear and tear. Ensure jacks are free of debris.
• สวิตช์เท้าและปุ่มหมุน: Handle footswitches and control knobs gently. Avoid excessive force that could lead to mechanical damage.

การแก้ไขปัญหา

If you encounter issues with your Fender The Pinwheel pedal, consult the following common troubleshooting steps:

• ไม่มีเสียง:
  • Ensure the pedal is powered on and the power supply is correctly connected and functioning.
  • Check all audio cables for proper connection and integrity. Try swapping cables.
  • Verify the 'BYPASS' footswitch is engaged (LED is green).
  • Check the 'LEVEL' knob; ensure it is not set to minimum.
• เสียง/เสียงรบกวนที่ไม่คาดคิด:
  • โปรดตรวจสอบให้แน่ใจว่าคุณใช้แหล่งจ่ายไฟแบบควบคุมแรงดัน แหล่งจ่ายไฟแบบไม่ควบคุมแรงดันอาจทำให้เกิดสัญญาณรบกวนได้
  • ตรวจสอบหาจุดที่เกิดกราวด์ลูปในวงจรสัญญาณของคุณ
  • Adjust the 'DRIVE' and 'TONE' knobs to find a desirable sound.
  • If using the 'DYNAMICS' feature, adjust the 'SENS' knob or turn 'DYNAMICS' off to see if the issue persists.
• Rotary Speed Not Changing:
  • Ensure the 'SLOW/FAST' footswitch is functioning.
  • If using an external expression pedal or footswitch, verify the 'FS SELECT' switch on the rear is set correctly ('EXP' for expression, 'FS' for footswitch).
  • Check the 'RAMP' knob setting; a high 'RAMP' setting will result in a slow transition.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact Fender customer support or an authorized service center.
