When we decided to create a studio-class pedal that faithfully recreates the classic, unmistakable sound of the most sought-after rotating speaker system, we prepared to study every nuance and finest detail. The Strymon sound design labs have been filled with those signature, swirling, three-dimensional sounds, as we painstakingly analyzed and recreated the physics and mechanics behind these systems.
Lex provides you with a complete, accurately reproduced rotary system: the low-frequency bass rotor, the rotating treble horn, the tube-driven amplifier, finely tuned microphone placement, and all the complex sonic interactions between these elements.
Utilizing a ridiculously powerful SHARC DSP, every drop of processing power is harnessed to authentically represent these details.
Hand crafted rotary algorithms faithfully deliver the signature, three-dimensional rotating speaker experience
Extensive control over rotating speaker mechanics and configuration
Four rotary adjustment and tone shaping knobs:
Fast Rotor Speed, Preamp Drive, Mic Distance, Horn Level.
Four “hidden” knobs for extensive tone tweaking:
Slow Rotor Speed, Cab Direction, Acceleration Time, +/- 6dB Boost/Cut.
Instantly alternate between a fast and slow rotor speed with the Fast/Slow footswitch
Selectable Cab Filter allows for an optimal experience in front of guitar amplifiers and full range systems
Stereo output
High impedance mono input (internal jumper enables selectable TRS stereo input) Please read this FAQ for more info on the TRS input.
Expression pedal input with selectable control over any knob parameter
Connect our optional Favorite switch to save a favorite preset or use as an external speed switch
Fast/Slow and Bypass footswitches
Press and hold Fast/Slow footswitch for Rotary Brake
Selectable Bi-Amp mode splits bass rotor and treble horn signals to separate outputs
Ultra low noise, high performance 24-bit 96kHz A/D and D/A converters
110dB typical signal to noise
Premium analog front end and output section
Super high performance DSP in a compact form factor
32-bit floating point processing
True Bypass (electromechanical relay switching)
Powered with a standard 9V center negative DC supply. 250mA minimum
