STRYMON LEX ROTARY Strymon
The Strymon Lex Rotary Speaker Simulator pedal is a highly acclaimed effect designed to faithfully recreate the complex, three-dimensional sound of a vintage rotary speaker system (like a cabinet) in a compact stompbox.
It models the entire system, including the rotating low-frequency bass rotor, the rotating treble horn, the tube-driven amplifier, and microphone placement.
Key Features and Controls
The Lex offers extensive control over the sonic and mechanical aspects of the rotary speaker:
Advanced (Secondary) Functions
The controls also access deeper settings, often via holding down the footswitches and turning a knob:
Slow Rotor Speed: Fine-tunes the rotational speed in the "Slow" mode.
Acceleration Time: Controls how quickly the rotors transition (ramp up or down) between the and speeds. The bass and treble rotors accelerate independently, just like the real thing.
Cab Filter: Tailors the high-frequency response for optimal use with either a traditional guitar amp or a full-range speaker system ().
Level (): Allows for a boost or cut to the output volume when the effect is engaged.
Bi-Amp Mode: A specialized stereo output option that sends the treble horn signal to one output and the bass rotor signal to the other, offering independent processing possibilities.
Connectivity
Stereo I/O: Features mono or stereo input and full stereo outputs, which dramatically enhances the swirling, dimensional effect.
Expression Pedal: A dedicated jack allows for real-time control over any parameter.
MIDI (V2 models): Full implementation, including clock sync and access to up to presets.
