Dunlop produced the JD4S-U Rotovibe as a chorus and vibrato effects pedal, positioned around the concept of recreating rotating speaker effects in a floor-mounted unit. It offered two distinct modes — Vibrato and Chorus — and used a rocker-style control to govern effect speed, with LED indicators providing visual feedback of the rate.
The unit operated on a 9-volt DC power supply, drawing 11 mA. Input impedance measured 470 kΩ and output impedance 6 kΩ. The effect speed spanned a range of 0.55 Hz to 9.5 Hz via the rocker control. Noise floor measured -98 dBV in Vibrato mode and -99 dBV in Chorus mode. The bypass implementation is buffered rather than true bypass, a consideration relevant to signal chain planning. The unit's rate was also indicated in real time by the onboard LED speed indicators.
Owners tracing compatible power supplies should confirm the 9-volt DC polarity and connector type against the unit itself. For any internal service, calibration, or signal chain queries, a qualified guitar technician or electronics repair professional familiar with effects units is the appropriate resource.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
