Take the stage with this studio-class Strymon Lex rotary speaker simulator pedal, designed to recreate the traditional sound of high-quality rotating speaker systems. Strymon studied and remodeled the science behind these systems to deliver professional-grade layered audio full of signature swirls and 3-D sounds.
The accurately reproduced rotary system in this Lex pedal includes a tube-driven amplifier, fine-tuned microphone alignment, low-frequency bass rotor and rotating treble horn. All these elements' complex sonic interactions combined with ultra-powerful SHARC DSP provide a clean sound for an authentic representation of classic rotary speaker sound.
Tweak the performance of this Lex rotary speaker simulator pedal using eight parameters that ensure precision control. These parameters let you adjust this pedal's tonality and mechanics, including the rotor speed, acceleration time, horn level, tube drive and saturation, microphone distance and volume level. This lets you switch up your sound from sweepingly dramatic to soothing and tranquil with just a small unit that doesn't require you to set up a microphone or pay for motor maintenance.
