I still have this on my pedalboard. Sold my strymon lex and went for this one. It has more character. Slow leslie speed def better then strymon. Couldn t believe for this price such a good pedal.
@@kingstumble That's a poor comparison because the B9 isn't a rotary speaker emulator. The B9 is a full organ emulator pedal which also includes rotary emulation on some sounds.
In augustus 2020 I purchased this pedal for 59 euros. Amazing pedal and the price is nuts if you compare it now to the prices of the Strymon Lex and Neo Instrument vent versions. I really love the sound and versatility of the Nux Roctary.
Great demo. Pedal sounds great! Of course Mike's playing is awesome as well! One second I'm hearing Jaco and with a couple twists off the knobs I'm hearing Al DiMeola and Jan Hammer playing together....
Except for Neo Vent ll , this equals or beats any of the more expensive pedals ... Also comes with a 5 year warrantee. Just remember to run this in Leslie mode... another thing to know. The reason that NUX sounds so good is , because some Strymon engineers jumped ship and are developing for NUX. Can’t beat the price with a stick ! One more important thing about the Lex and Roctary. The Lex has a built in “ Noise Gate “ that kicks in when not playing to hide its “ Noise “ ! The Roctary doesn’t need one, because it’s not noisy. Just remember to use a quality power supply. No Daisy Chains either. That goes for both of these units :
Seriously great sound... Thank you for such a comprehensive demo of this wildly cheap piece of gear. Definitely ordering one... that's bordering on buy-and-try price... I will learn to play like you so my pedal sounds the same ;) Cheers!!!
One very important thing to know about this pedal is that you have to power on the pedal while holding down the FAST switch in order to get a LESLIE sound otherwise the pedal produces a standard rotary effect !!!!! The difference between the 2 sounds is VERY noticeable. Great pedal. Fantastic Leslie sound but the octave + and - sounds are not convincing at all and completely useless. Always use the pedal in stereo, it sounds amazing ! Nux and Mooer are becoming some of my favorite brands like Electro-Harmonix, very innovative.
@@gilleskraemer4964 As I wrote the 9 volts jack (as written on the manual) but it should also work with the guitar input jack as it also switches the unit on/off.
Can you explain what you mean by "standard rotary effect" as opposed to a leslie effect? Given that a leslie is a rotary speaker I'm not sure what kind of difference you mean. Do we hear both in this video? I'm thinking of getting one so I'm just doing some research.
@@eyeball226 There is a difference, engaging the hidden Leslie effect when powering on produces a sort of flanging on some frequencies, very noticeable in stereo. I mainly use it in a studio.
That's some major beef, but it's probably an easy mod to just rewire the switch to a new one. If it's like the other Force pedals, there's space inside for another footswitch, could probably fit it in between the existing two.
gavinashun I just bought this pedal. There is a spot for an extra pedal, labeled EXP. I haven't tried one, but the instruction manual hints that it can be used for adjusting the Leslie speeds. Maybe it could adjust octaves, too?
Hmmm... Pretty affordable on Reverb, maybe it could do the job of the Ventura Vibe and Boss OC-3??? Although, I really need to have that adjustable range of polyphonic octave...😀
Bonjour et merci !just my sent..I have it but....I don't use the internal drive, the octave section is too simple to be efficient enough but the rotary section is very nice! Then if the pedal was only the half-size with rotary only, or rotary plus complete octave work, it would has been a killer pedal!..but in this price range, with such built quality and sound research, Nux has once again gave us the proof of their interest in our guitar world!
The Rotary alone sounds very good to me, but the Octaver - thank God - does not at all sound similar to the Boss Octaver, which I never liked, rather like a Hammond B-3, in other words, with Rotary and Octaver combined, your guitar sounds very much like Jon Lord on organ. Not the worst choice and also a lot of fun! Also for the audience. Another big advantage, the Octaver is polyphonic! You can go even crazier, if additionally combining the Roctary with the Montreux Vibe (Unibe). In front of a Plexi, of course... Or with the Tape Core... I usually am not a great fan of Chinese pedals, but Nux really seems to do a very good job.
Hi Mike ... You’ve demo’d this and the Neo Vent ll. It’s obvious that the vent is the best Leslie Sym on the market. How good is the NUX Compared to the Neo ??? Thank you!
You should must mention to us somehow that in order to achive sound movement from fast to slow ramp,both of the stomp knobs must be pressed at the same time to go from fast to slow ramp which is the main unique charasteristic and charm of a Leslie speaker
Can this kill the dry signal so bass lines can be played? I wanted to use a Micro pog for this but it doesn't completely kill the dry signal. Killer demo, sounds incredible for the money
apshinyn I just bought this pedal. The instructions, which can be found on the NUX site, shows you how to kill the dry signal. I haven't tried it, yet.
I'd put it last , originally it was the element that spun the sound out into the crowd no matter what was plugged into it- the real deal was a powered speaker cab with the Hammond plugged into it. You would turn the "amp" aka drive on this pedal off if you had some preferred dirt pedal in front of it. But really there are no rules. 🎵
@@imagzz4942 Good point but in this case octave is married to the Leslie emulator with no apparent "order" so it's a unique situation. It would take 30 seconds to try before or after whatever fx you have or use. I personally wouldn't be using the octave thing in this pedal - it's like a nice bonus to a good "half price" Leslie emulator compared to the Strymon and EHX Lester G pedal's prices. But if I want to use it in my Logic Pro rig (and I do) I will HAVE to use it on the front end of the interface into the Mac before any signal processing or amps can be assigned from Logic so I have no choice. 🎸
@@cuda426hemi Got it. Just wanted to know before bying one, however I just have, so I guess I'll do some testing once it arrives :) How about delay and reverb? Before or after those too?
I wanted to hear it ramp up and down between speeds but you stopped playing so you could press the speed button with your hand. By the time you started playing again the ramping had pretty much stopped. Nice playing but no ramping.
Hey Mike, I have this pedal and was checking out the manual - but what's the difference between the regular mode and the Leslie Cab simulator mode (which you activate by holding the FAST switch when powering it on)?
Yeah. The default mode assumes you're going into a guitar amp and have your own cab, so it skips the cabsim. As byebyecali says, the other mode includes leslie cabinet simulation so you can go straight into the mixer. This would probably work best at a gig with an ABY switcher. You'd leave the rotary pedal on all the time and get your dry sound by sending the guitar to your amp and the rotary sound through the desk. >You should hear a difference from the change in impedance . It's not the change in impedance that you hear, it's the actual effect of the cabsim.
yeah i couldn't find this on amazon/ebay etc. nux makes some great kit. just got the time force, and have a mod force on the way... really like their various overdrive/distortion pedals too
It is on Amazon: www.amazon.com/NUX-Roctary-effects-Simulator-polyphonic/dp/B01AWCG2KM If not, you can still check other website such Aliexpress. I hope it helps ;)
If you can't hear the difference between rotary speaker effect and chorus then by all means save your money and stick with chorus. I don't bother with expensive wine because I don't appreciate the difference between "good" wine and "excellent" wine, all of the subtleties are lost on me. For those of us who can hear the difference between rotary speakers and chorus, the difference is night and day.

This is one of the best demos, I've ever heard. Thanks a lot!
I still have this on my pedalboard. Sold my strymon lex and went for this one. It has more character. Slow leslie speed def better then strymon. Couldn t believe for this price such a good pedal.
I did the same!
Good to know...now I can get this and the Deco instead
Based on this demo, I bought one. Great job. I have played through Leslie 900’s and a Leslie 122 and this one is a no brainer pedal.
This is the first rotary sim pedal that I actual would buy. It sounds amazing.
Check out the Danelectro one.
The EHX C9 and B9 are pretty amazing too.
@@ralphshaw9758 I have the Roctary and the EHX B9. The Roctary is much more useable.

I have this pedal and it's my favorite modulation on my guitar pedalboard. As always monster demos from Mike! This guy is underrated.
Right? I have it too and this demo opened up my mind about new things to try on it. Tasty demonstration!
I can't tell what's better, the pedal or the demo.
the demo of course (i owned a nux time force some time ago)
The demo, but I bought a Nux Mod Core Deluxe purely because of Mike's demo---and I love it.
Alan Angel I own this pedal and it is great! Of course this demo is pretty killer!
I have a Time Force , Mod Force and Mod Core. Love 'em. Mod Force goes in the fx loop of my Deluxe Memory Man.
@@kingstumble does it affect orignal tone, all rotaRY I tried so far would bring down volume and kill the ovaral tone..
Possibly the best pedal demo ever.
Had a slight chuckle with "Buttered Bypass". Sounds decent!
Best demo of this pedal out there. Thanks. Just ordered mine. A company in Quebec had one still. Hard to find.
This pedal looks like a steal but I'm hoping they'd build this as a rotary only effect in a somewhat smaller enclosure.
Comprei este pedal porque conheci ele através desse vídeo.
Pedal com timbres perfeitos!!!

Is that a crossover of all blues and west coast blues in the beginning? Awesome!
Return to forever song! great demo man!
I have never been a fan of rotary/chorus pedals but this is actually really cool. Definitely going to pick it up on my next paycheck.

Great music and review. No words needed
Everything I try from them sounds very good, despite the price. Nice demo, thank you.
As an owner of the Amp Force, I disagree. The Time Force is excellent and is incredible value, though.
These things are hard to find in the used marketplace. Must be awesome then!
They are..just saw one sell for £175. Amazing pedal.
Thank you for great demo.
This is a Multi Effect pedal! And it seems like each effect that it has sounds really good! Dammit, Mike Hermans!! lol

Looks like a good deal for a rotary pedal compared to others that are 2-3x the price. Been looking for one to get the right Gilmour tones on a budget.
NuX needs to release a version 2 Roctary! Soon. Now.
I can't hear the difference between Leslie mode and normal in mine.... :'(
Put the 9v adapter while i'm holding fast button... Something is wrong?
I'm not quite getting the same greatness of sound. I wonder what amp used and is it in stereo here?
No footswitch for the octave function? That seems like a missed opportunity.
That's some major beef, but it's probably an easy mod to just rewire the switch to a new one. If it's like the other Force pedals, there's space inside for another footswitch, could probably fit it in between the existing two.

Martin Krauser Space inside? Gotta get my force pedals to my tech! Thanks dude! Nice tip
Due to the variety of settings, I would like a few memory slots selectable by a switch.
Is this pedal only good for guitars? I have an old Farfisa organ that could do with some chorus... has anyone ever tried this pedal with keys?
According to the manufacturer, it works well with a keyboard or organ and the cabinet simulation always switched on.
I have this pedal. You can not beat it for the bucks!
Do the fast breaker function is the same like Rotosphere ?, You can hold it n its getting faster ?
Hmmm... Pretty affordable on Reverb, maybe it could do the job of the Ventura Vibe and Boss OC-3??? Although, I really need to have that adjustable range of polyphonic octave...😀
It's having that "Badge" sound aswell!

Pressing both is "brake" (no rotation). The "fast" switch is the one that switches between slow and fast.

I've owned a Micro POG for a couple of years and you can easily kill the dry by turning it right down.
Also killing the dry and playing a bass line is pretty much the first thing he does in the demo.
the balance knob yes
amazing bass sounds. i do that with the H9, but this possibly sounds more legit.
Indeed. You mean the "octave-guitar-bass"? For me, it sounds like electric double bass. Definitely a legit sound!
For the price very good................

when oct is on he doesn't play chords, only sigle note phrases: that's because the octaver doesn't work w/chords...
It does.
And he also play chords at the end.
at the end octaver is turned off
FYI. At 10:00 min in he strikes a chord with the octave on.
Poly means multiple notes
yes simultaneously, this oct only one at a time
This pedal buttfucks my Boss RT20 for the price/quality relationship, but well... This didn't exist when i got the Boss hehe.
