Strymon Lex Rotary V2 Effect Pedal

Something of a holy grail for guitar and keyboard players, there's nothing quite like a rotary speaker for rich, swirling modulation. The Strymon Lex captures the magical quality of source, rotary speaker and microphone. Strymon spent countless hours modelling real physical rotaries to nail the exact sound and then put the power in your hands to tweak mic distance, preamp level and speed. You can even take an individual Bass/Treble horn outputs from the pedal and send them to different speaker cabs for a supremely authentic setup in the studio or on stage, without worrying about maintenance or transport hassle.

You get eight parameters to tweak, allowing extensive control over the tonality and mechanics of the rotating speaker system. You can manipulate each element, from rotor speed, horn level, acceleration time, microphone distance, tube drive and saturation, and volume level. Go from a maelstrom of dramatic, up-close, sweeping and swirling sounds, all the way to mellow, tranquil and calming undulations. All of this without a giant cabinet, microphone setup, and costly motor maintenance.

The second generation is here and it means business - maintaining all of the same head-spinning rotary goodness from the original, this V2 model of Strymons' acclaimed pedal boasts a vast range of new features and performance enhancements to keep you doing what you do best!

Strymon Lex Rotary V2 New Features:

• Full MIDI Implementation - You can now control just about every single parameter remotely with MIDI commands from your controller or DAW via the MIDI Jack or USB-C connection, complete with MIDI Clock Sync and 300 MIDI preset locations - perfect for the performance perfectionist who knows what they want and when they want it!
• UI Upgrade - Redesigned to give you even more control, the intuitive user interface now gives you instant control over mic position and distance, dry level, acceleration speed, volume boost/cut,and easy customization of rotor speed - perfect for deep diving into the world of the rotary speaker!
• Improved Hardware - With a newly improved premium analog JFET input circuit, complete with mono or stereo input switch, you've now got even better responsiveness for your playing. Reinforced with a brand new ARM DSP chip, you've got more processing power on-tap, producing greater sonic nuance and consuming less pedalboard energy overall - it's a win/win situation!
