Strymon LEX Rotary

Product detailed description

Rotary effects pedal that offers hand crafted rotary algorithms which faithfully deliver the signature, three-dimensional rotating speaker experience. This pedal provides 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. The pedal provides an extensive control over rotating speaker mechanics and configuration, featuring four rotary adjustment and tone shaping knobs (Fast Rotor Speed, Preamp Drive, Mic Distance, Horn Level) and four “hidden” knobs for extensive tone tweaking (Slow Rotor Speed, Cab Direction, Acceleration Time, +/- 6dB Boost/Cut). It also allows user to instantly alternate between a fast and slow rotor speed with the Fast/Slow footswitch (when pressed and held it also works as a Rotary Brake), while the selectable Cab Filter allows for an optimal experience in front of guitar amplifiers and full range systems. The pedal is equipped with ultra low noise, high performance 24-bit 96kHz A/D and D/A converters, an analogue dry path (when reverb only is engaged) and premium analogue front end and output section. The pedal provides a high impedance mono input (internal jumper enables selectable TRS stereo input) and a stereo output, Tremolo Bypass and Reverb Bypass footswitches, an expression pedal input that allows the connection of either an expression pedal for selectable control over any knob parameter, and Fast/Slow and Bypass footswitches. Selectable Bi-Amp mode splits bass rotor and treble horn signals to separate outputs. The +8dBu maximum input level easily handles instrument and line signals. The pedal is a true bypass (electromechanical relay switching). It is powered with a standard 9V centre negative DC supply, 250mA current draw (included), and features strong and lightweight mahogany aluminium chassis. Typical S/N ratio: 110 dB. Frequency response: 20 Hz-20 kHz.
