When Strymon set out to create a studio-class pedal that faithfully recreates the classic, unmistakable sound of the most sought-after rotating speaker system, the team meticulously studied every nuance and finest detail. The Strymon sound design labs were immersed in those signature, swirling, three-dimensional sounds as the company painstakingly analyzed and recreated the physics and mechanics behind these iconic systems.
The Lex pedal delivers a complete, accurately reproduced rotary system, including 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. Powered by a remarkably advanced SHARC DSP, every bit of processing power is utilized to authentically replicate these intricate details.
The Lex offers eight adjustable parameters, providing users with extensive control over the tonality and mechanics of the rotating speaker system. Each element can be customized, from rotor speed, horn level, and acceleration time, to microphone distance, tube drive and saturation, and volume level. The Lex captures a full spectrum of rotary speaker sounds, ranging from dramatic, up-close, sweeping swirls to mellow, tranquil undulations—all without the need for a bulky cabinet, complex microphone setups, or costly motor maintenance.
Key Features:
- 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
- Transparent cabinet technology allows for an optimal experience in front of guitar amplifiers and full range systems
