SpinCycle
Thank you for choosing the SpinCycle rotang
speaker emulator from Experimental Noize. This
unit has been designed to both accurately
emulate a rotang speaker as well as giving the
user the ability to adjust the sound in order to
meet their requirements.

Slow Speed: Sets the slow speed of the rotaon emulaon;
the Speed push buon selects between the
slow and fast sengs.
Fast Speed: Sets the fast speed of the rotaon emulaon;
the Speed push buon selects between the
slow and fast sengs.
Acceleraon: Sets the rate at which the transion between

the slow and fast speeds happen.
Also affects the speed at which the
emulator comes to a stop when the brake
buon is pressed.
Drum:Rotor Rao: On many rotang speakers, the drum
and rotor are driven by separate motors.
While their speeds may be close, they are
not idencal; the drum is always a lile
slower than the rotor. The speed difference
between the two motors creates a “beat”
between the drum and rotor that can be
unique to a parcular rotang speaker
cabinet. This control allows the user to
adjust the speed rao between the drum
and rotor to emulate this difference in
motor speeds.
Tube Emulaon: Increasing this control increases the
amount of tube emulaon, from a clean to
an asymmetric tube compression sounds.
Cab Emulaon: This control allows the user to enable and
adjust the cabinet emulaon. Part of what
gives the spinning speaker its unique sound
is the cabinet; this control emulates the
frequency response and reflecons that in
the cabinet and allows the user to adjust
the level of the emulaon.

Distance: Adjusts the distance of the virtual microphones
from the cabinet. Closer will give a very heavy
“throbbing” sound, while further away will
give a more subtle sound.
Balance: Adjusts the balance between the rotor and
drum sounds.
Enable: This switch will enable/disable the effect. When
enabled the blue LED above the switch will be
lit.
Brake: This switch, when pressed, will slow the spinning
emulaon to a complete stop. Releasing the
switch will allow the emulaon to speed back
up to the set speed.
Speed: This switch selects between the slow and fast
speed sengs. The LED above this switch will
blink at the current rotaon speed.

9V DC: Power adapter input. Use only approved adapters.
Footswitch: Input for remote footswitch to control the
Enable and Speed switches remotely. If plugged
in, the footswitch will override the pedal
switches.
Mono In: Instrument input, typically from an electric
guitar or keyboard.
+Gain: This switch provides 12dB of gain to the input.
Typically used with electric guitars that have a
low output level; generally not required with
instruments such as keyboards.
Right Out: Right channel output.
Le Out: Le channel output.

Step 1: Connect the instrument to the Mono In jack. If
using a low signal level instrument, such as an
electric guitar, press the +Gain switch so that it is
in the in posion.
Step 2: Connect the Right Out and Le Out to a pair of
amplifiers, or a stereo amplifier.

FCC REGULATION
Note
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protecon against harmful interfer-
ence in a residenal installaon.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instrucons, may cause harmful
interference to radio communicaons. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
parcular installaon.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television recepon, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separaon between the equipment
and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
