Karousel - Rotary / Drive

Download the Keystone Karousel Rotary Drive user manual (PDF)

Karousel recreates the unmistakable motion of a rotary speaker—where air and electricity swirl together into living sound. From slow, vibey pulse to fast Leslie shimmer, it spins your tone through space with stunning realism. Adjustable drive adds warmth and bite, while mic position simulation creates natural stereo depth and doppler effect. A press of the footswitch changes speed; hold it to brake the rotation.

“Guitar players who specialize in R&B Neo SOUL etc YOU SHOULD CHECK THIS PEDAL OUT!! I’ve been putting this pedal through its paces and it hasn’t left my board since day one. ✅ Better tone ✅ More versatility ✅ Inspires me to play longer” - Tre Terry
