Roto-Machine Pilot's Handbook

Output your effects mono to a standard amplifier, or to a stereo setup.

Be sure to connect your guitar to the mono input jack on your ToneCore.

Or, you can feed the stereo input of your ToneCore with a mono or stereo effect pedal instead of a guitar.

Greetings and salutations! Thank you for inviting the Line 6 Roto-Machine pedal into your life.

Effect On-Off / Power Indicator Light

The Power Indicator Light on your ToneCore uses three colors to indicate the pedal's state:

GREEN (flashing)- Effect is engaged (on). Light is flashing to show the speed
- AMBER (flashing)– Effect is in bypass (off). Light is flashing to show the speed
- RED (flashing) - Batteries need replacing This low power indication will override all other states.

Power Jack

Connect an optional ToneCore-compatible Line 6 power supply like the DC-1, and you'll never need a 9-volt battery again!

Connections and Power Indicator Light

In Jacks

Use a standard guitar cable to connect your guitar, or the output of another effect to use in combination with your ToneCore. If you're feeding a mono signal to your Roto-Machine, use the MONO/L jack. Like most pedals, inserting a plug into this jack will turn on the power to your ToneCore. Disconnect both input plugs from jacks when the ToneCore is not being used.

Out Jacks

Use a standard guitar cable to connect to the inputs of a guitar amp, or the inputs of another effect that will feed your amp. For mono, use the MONO/L jack.

Foot Switch

Stomp on this to turn the effect sound processing on and off. See Dual Action Footswitch section to learn how to change between fast and slow speeds with your feet.

SPEED CONTROLS

Fast

When fast is selected (via the tap pedal), the fast control allows you to specify how quickly you'd like the horn and drum to rotate. Speed increases as you turn the dial clockwise. This control has limited range so it will not overlap with the slow speed control.

Slow

When slow is selected (via the tap pedal), the slow control allows you to specify how slowly you'd like the horn and drum to rotate. Speed increases as you turn the dial clockwise. This control has limited range so it will not overlap with the fast speed control.

Drive

Drive controls the amount of overdrive in the tube amplifier stage of Roto-Machine. Rotate clockwise for that classic Leslie growl.

Blend

This controls the balance between the horn and drum of the Leslie. Clockwise rotation will increase the volume of the horn, while decreasing the volume of the drum.

Ramp Switch

Ramp controls how long it takes the speed of rotation to change between fast and slow settings.

Filter Switch

This selects which speaker cabinet model RotoMachine will sound like.

Dual Action Footswitch

To change between the two speeds of the Rotomachine, tap lightly on the top footswitch. Press hard on the footswitch to turn on/off the effect.

Battery Access Instructions

1) Depress pedal fully.

3) Squeezing hinge, raise pedal to reveal battery.

2) While holding pedal, squeeze both sides of hinge as shown.

Battery Access Instructions

Power Supply

Connect an optional Line 6 DC-1 power supply and you'll never need a 9-volt battery again! It is also compatible with most popular 9 Volt DC stomp boxes. Using the power supply will disconnect the battery.
