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.

Here's a great rotating speaker
setting… Check it out, then switch
between fast and slow speeds. Then
I told you 'bout our kid, now he's

give a dark mellow rotory sound.
Use it to comp expensive jazz
chords! Tap the footswitch for a fast
ramp up to a medium speed .
Grind and Spin!
Dail this setting up for some
