Strymon Lex V2 Rotating Speaker Pedal

Born to Revolve.

There is something uniquely powerful about the sound of a vintage rotary speaker system. The organic chorusing as the treble horn and bass rotor start speeding up.  The grit of the internal tube-driven amplifier, creating additional harmonics that spin around the room.  Plug into Lex, close your eyes, and be transported by this classic sound, recreated with astonishing realism and depth for your pedalboard.

The Complete Rotary Speaker System.

Lex provides you with a complete, accurately reproduced rotary speaker 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. Powerful, intuitive controls mean you can quickly dial in just the customized sound you desire.

Classic Sound

Our second generation Lex gives you the same rich rotary sounds of our original and adds significant new features, incorporating technological advancements, hardware improvements and design enhancements to give you additional flexibility, power, and ease of use on stage and in the studio.

MIDI

Full MIDI implementation means you can control just about every switch, knob, and setting remotely by sending MIDI commands from your controller or DAW via Lex’s EXP/MIDI jack or USB-C connection.

Hardware Improvements

A premium analog JFET input circuit ensures superb responsiveness to your playing, and you can select mono or stereo input with the flick of a rear panel switch.

User Interface

A more powerful and intuitive user interface gives you instant control over mic position and distance, dry level, acceleration speed, volume boost/cut, and easy customization of rotor speed.

Tone Controls

Dial Your Dream Tone.

Our goal with Lex was to create the most realistic sounding, flexible rotating speaker effect ever fit within a pedal.

As part of that, Lex features a full suite of practical controls to help you shape your rotary tone to your heart’s conten

Mic Controls

Mic Check.

The smallest changes in how a rotary speaker is mic’d can have drastic changes on its tone.

Lex’s offers you all of the flexibility of different mic setups without ever needing to worry about setting one up.

Speed

Motion Control.

Our new generation Lex makes it easier than ever to dial in the speed you need.

Seamlessly shift between a slow or fast rotating speed with the dedicated Slow/Fast switch. Want to bring things to a full stop? Press and hold the Slow/Fast switch to gradually brake the rotary system — and let go to ramp back up to your chosen speed.

Bi-Amp Mode

Chopped In Half.

Bi-Amp Mode splits the output of Lex’s woofer and horn signal by sending only the horn signal to the left output and the woofer signal to the right output.

Preamp Drive

Add Some Dirt.

At the heart of Lex’s rotary speaker is a tube preamp, ready to be pushed to add some grit to your tone.

Lex’s Preamp Drive knob lets you control the drive of the rotary cabinet’s tube preamp and phase inverter stages.

MIDI

Limitless Possibilities.

Our new generation of Lex features full MIDI implementation, allowing you to control just about every switch, knob, and setting remotely by sending MIDI commands from your controller or DAW via Lex’s EXP/MIDI jack or USB-C connection.

JFET Input

Analog Touch.

Uncompromised dynamics and feel. Exceptional touch sensitivity and responsiveness. Lex feels just as good as it sounds, thanks to a high impedance ultra-low noise discrete Class A JFET preamp input.

True/Buffered Bypass

Choose Your Bypass Mode.

Lex lets you choose electromechanical relay switched true bypass for a 100% untouched, unprocessed signal when the pedal is bypassed (this is the default setting), or you can opt for our premium quality buffered bypass that conditions your signal to preserve its integrity by preventing the high end roll-off that can happen due to longer cable runs.

Stereo

Moving In Stereo.

No need to make compromises when it comes to signal routing or pedal placement — Lex features full stereo in/out capabilities.

Line/Instrument Level

On another level.

Pedals aren’t just for guitarists. Lex’s adjustable input signal level makes it a versatile tool for endless applications from the studio to the stage.
