Dawner Prince Pulse

This is a very specific rotary effect . Unlike common rotary spealers emulations (which sound a bit like tremolos), this is more flanger/chorus, especially at low speed setting. It is designed to emulate a rather obscure rotary, speaker - the Gibson Maestro Rover - famously used by DG. It provides THAT sounds, so if you are looking for a "Beatles' rotary" it is not for you. Construction is flawless and the sound is very tridimensional, even in mono. My only concern is that the low speed settings are not that usable. Otherwise it is a great pedal.

There are few rotary speaker emulators that really sound good and not just like a chorus/tremolo combo. This is one of them.
Adjusting the settings is a breeze. The slow setting is so characteristic that when I tried it out of the box, it immediately nailed the typical Gilmour sound with ease.
Compared to other pedals, it sounds so "natural". Like you're actually hearing the rotary speakers instead of an effect.
It's also quite subtle and clear. On low speed you hear a subtle phasing that doesn't muddy the sound. On high speeds it's the same thing. Even with heavy distortion every tone is clear and not muffled.
The speed ramping works great. I haven't tried an expression pedal yet. But I don't think I need one for this pedal.
The whole pedal breathes quality. It's quite heavy for its size. The knobs feel good. Yeah, I know that sounds strange. But I'm one of those people that can actually feel when cheap potentiometers are used. Not in this case.
Nice texture on the housing and separate top plate with all the decals.
I'd definitely recommend this pedal to anyone looking for the "real thing"

sounds great, well built but not totaly thought through.
pity they didn't make the slow/fast leds "oscillate" with the speed.
- no soft switching
- when you use an external switch or expression pedal your get ZERO feedback. Can't be rocket science to do it right-

Instead spending money on fancy "Pulse" engraving I would have preferred they would have used soft switches.
