Members Asribar Posted December 4, 2005 Members Share Posted December 4, 2005 Since i'm ebaying right now... i'd like to know what are the differences between the old and the new ( MKii ) one thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Seth Carmody Posted December 4, 2005 Members Share Posted December 4, 2005 Just to get the ball rolling, there was a significant change between the marks and consensus generally is the Mark 1 is the better of the two. Don't remember what the change was exactly, I think it had something to do with ramping from fast to slow. No doubt someone will chime in a tell you what it was, or simply search rotosphere (or look at the HC reviews) and you'll find out in about 5 minutes.

Members Asribar Posted December 4, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 4, 2005 great since i'me ebaying for mark 1 i already have Tube 50 combo and Tubeman preamp... this will be my third H&K acquisition btw i was wondering... when i get the rotosphere... i might just stop carrying the combo around for gigs. we had a rehearsal the other day and i plugged tubeman directly into the PA.. it rocked. i just might use this setup... guitar -> WD7 wah -> Tubeman -> Marshall VT1 tremolo -> Rotosphere -> Digitech Delay -> stereo into the PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vince Posted December 4, 2005 Members Share Posted December 4, 2005 I would put the Rotosphere last in the chain, so then the delays are spun rather than the other way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone verify any real differences between MkI and MKII?I believe I`ve heard the MKI is noisier. From the HC reviews I only find this from a MKI buyer;"I'm about to try to order a full stop switch a la MKII to replace the hold-down "Breaker" switch. So we'll find out how helpful they are on parts. "http://www.harmony-central.com/Effects/Data/Hughes___Kettner/Tube_Rotosphere-1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jazzgeetar Posted December 4, 2005 Members Share Posted December 4, 2005 To me it seems the trim pots the MKII has to adjust fast speed would be a preference to me. Straight from the H&K website: What distinguishes the Rotosphere MK 2 from the Rotosphere MK1? The MK II version offers two new features that its predecessor, the first Tube Rotosphere, lacked: 1. When you stop the rotary action, the simulated drum and horn always return to the same default position. This ensures that varying rotor positions don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mike McLenison Posted December 4, 2005 Members Share Posted December 4, 2005 The Tone-man Don Butler has extensively used H&K and Line6's Roto-Machine and he claims this new unit, FYI, is the best. http://www.dlseffects.com/roto_sim.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
