Fender The Pinwheel Rotary Speaker Emulator Pedal

Our Take:

The Pinwheel Pedal from Fender is another gem of a stompbox from their most recent pedal release, this time delivering the classic rotary speaker sound, originally achieved by pairing an organ speaker with an amplifier. The Pinwheel features three distinct rotary speaker voices with plenty of control knobs for effect customization; it even features an onboard Overdrive to add some kick to the effect! By far our favorite feature is the Sensitivity control, which changes the modulation rate of the rotary speaker based on your playing style. So if you're really ripping your axe - the Pinwheel will respond accordingly.

Fender's Take:

A classic sound achieved with an organ speaker and amplifier, rotary speaker effects have become an integral part of modern music. Featuring three different rotary speaker voices, the Pinwheel makes it easy to add this swirling sound to your tonal toolbox. Switchable Slow and Fast speeds let you spin up the perfect sound for your music, while the onboard Overdrive 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.
