Dunlop Rotovibe JD4S Does Not Disappoint
I've had one or more Rotovibes since 1994, and always nothing past a mid '90s JH4S. Reviews of the JD4S largely tend to compare it to the earlier versions, and not as favorably. These pedals seem to come and go out of production, so I decided to grab a brand new JD4S from the last run. I'm very glad I did. While it is a slightly different sound from the earlier versions, it is pure Rotovibe, and has taken it's place as first in a multi-stage vibe/phaser heavy pedal chain. It works well going into distortion. I like a syrupy uni-vibe after distortion/fuzz, but the Rotovibe is light enough to drive the front end. I always find the sound to be fuller with a battery, and the JD4S is the same.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

It’s a gotta have on your board pedal.
I have the MXR phase 100 , the phase 90 and the phase 45 none , have this Rotovibe tone. After researching this pedal I find that it goes great with a distortion, Fuzz or overdrive. There’s not a tone like that rotovibe. Hendrix and many other guitar greats have used this effect. I’ve seen it but never understood why guitarist put that on there pedal boards . But after hearing it and really listen to it. There’s no sound like it or even close. Including the vibrato. So grab it if you see it below 300.00 you will definitely be happy after you bring it home. Dunlop really did this one. I like the Rotovibe best on my big muff, you can really get that Hendrix vibe with the octave divider on it. It will not disappoint…Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

dunlop rotovibe
a favorite pedal if you want a variable speed, phasey pedal. the vibrato is a little bit much for me, but still cool sounding. i just wish the “slow” (pedal all the way back) was slower.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
