Born to Revolve. When we decided to create a studio-class pedal that faithfully recreates the classic, unmistakable sound of the most sought-after rotating speaker system, we prepared to study every nuance and finest detail. The Strymon sound design labs have been filled with those signature, swirling, three-dimensional sounds, as we painstakingly analyzed and recreated the physics and mechanics behind these systems.

Rotary Adjustment and Tone Shaping Front Panel Knobs Four rotary adjustment and tone shaping knobs: Fast Rotor Speed, Preamp Drive, Mic Distance, Horn Level. Fast Rotor Speed adjusts the rotational speed of the effect when spinning in Fast mode. Go from a relaxed 4Hz rotation to a frenetic spin of greater than eight rotations per second. Preamp Drive overdrives the input feeding the rotary speaker effect. Harmonics are created that add growl and fatness, adding a whole new dimension when set into motion.

Expression Pedal Control You get an expression pedal input with assignable control over any front-panel knob parameter. When set to Fast Rotor Speed, you can sweep and ramp all the way from the “braked” position up to a selectable speed. What’s happening inside? The System Lex rotary delivers a faithful reproduction of the entire rotating speaker system.
