LESTER G
Deluxe Stereo Rotary Simulator
Congratulations on your purchase of the LESTER G stereo rotary speaker cabinet
simulator! The LESTER G uses the finest rotary speaker simulation available
today, and comes with a variety of deluxe features. Stereo outputs provide a
lush, realistic effect. Tube-emulated overdrive is available with the DRIVE knob,
and speaker mix can be fine-tuned with the BALANCE knob. Switch between
adjustable FAST and SLOW modes for an accurate reproduction of a classic
rotary speaker cabinet's speed adjustment. An expression pedal jack allows for
fine tuning of the rotation speed with an expression pedal.
The Lester G also features a compression circuit that adds lush sustain to electric
guitar. Using the compressor, the LESTER G provides guitarists with the fat, full
sustain of an organ, to get the most out of the rotating speaker effect.
– CONTROLS –
VOL Knob – Controls the output volume of the LESTER G. As the VOL knob is
turned clockwise, the output volume increases.
SLOW Knob – Varies the speed of the rotating speaker effect when the LESTER
G is in SLOW mode. Turn the SLOW knob up to increase the rotation speed in
SLOW mode. When in the center position, the rotation speed in SLOW mode is
an accurate reproduction of a real rotary speaker cabinet's slow speed.
FAST Knob – Varies the speed of the rotating speaker effect when the LESTER
G is in FAST mode. Turn the FAST knob up to increase the rotation speed in
FAST mode. When in the center position, the rotation speed in FAST mode is an
accurate reproduction of a real rotary speaker cabinet's fast speed.
ACCELERATION KNOB – Controls the rate at which the LESTER G transitions
between FAST mode and SLOW mode. As ACCELERATION is turned clockwise,
the rate of change increases. When ACCELERATION is at maximum, the rotating
speaker effect changes from FAST to SLOW mode almost instantaneously. At the
minimum position, the speed change is very gradual. When in the center
position, the LESTER G changes speeds at the same rate a real rotary speaker
cabinet does.
