Lex（V2）
$349Reference price
The second generation of the pedal that recreates the sound of a vintage rotary speaker. It models the drum-style bass rotor, the organic chorusing that arises as the treble horn accelerates, and even the harmonics from the built-in tube preamp. You get the depth and movement unique to rotary speakers on your pedalboard.
Second-generation rotary speaker recreating even the physics of rotation
It exhaustively studied and recreated the complex phenomena occurring in a real rotary speaker, from the drum-style bass rotor, treble horn, tube preamp, and microphone setup to the changes of acceleration and deceleration. The organic chorus and growling harmonics born as the horn accelerates define its character.
Detailed settings reaching into the real unit
Microphone position and distance, dry signal level, acceleration speed, volume boost or cut, and rotor speed customization are all set through an intuitive interface. Independent Slow/Fast and On/Off switches are provided.
Second-generation modernization
It carries a 480MHz ARM processor and 24-bit 96kHz AD/DA converters, with TRS stereo input and output and line/instrument level switching. Bypass is selectable between true and buffered.
MIDI and presets
Nearly every knob and switch can be remotely controlled via the EXP/MIDI jack or USB-C. It stores 300 presets and supports recall arranged to match a setlist.
