hi ive had a rotovibe for about 4 years and i got it second hand off ebay. Ive noticed that inside there are 2 preset potentiometers inside it. Anyone know what these pots are and do? Ever since i got it i found the sound to seem abit dissapointingly thin and wondered if maybe the guy who had it before me had adjusted them at all. Anyone got any idea as to how or where they should be set at.
cheers

    There's a thread somewhere on here about my roto and the changes to it. Actually, if you got to Harmony-central.com, click user reviews, look up the rotovibe, there should be a thing about the mod you can do to change it. One pot controls the sensitivity and the other one controls the depth I think. If I could get your email address, I can email you the mod that I got.

    One is for intensity of the vibe and the other one for the vibrato.
    Paco once posted a very detailed answer on the "dunlop rotovibe" thread.

    just mark where the original placement was before you turn them Kig, Then experiment away. Usually the issue is in changing those presets and then forgetting where they originally were and not being able to get back.

    yeah i think the problem is that the guy who had it before me had adjusted it and to me it just dont seem right. Does anyone know which pot does what?
