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.
Lex provides you with a complete, accurately reproduced rotary 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. Utilizing a
ridiculously powerful SHARC DSP, every drop of processing power is harnessed to
authentically represent these intricate details.
You get seven parameters to tweak, allowing extensive control over the tonality and
mechanics of the rotating speaker system. You can manipulate each element, from rotor
speed, horn level, acceleration time, microphone distance, tube drive and saturation, and
volume level. Go from a maelstrom of dramatic, up-close, sweeping and swirling sounds, all
the way to mellow, tranquil and calming undulations. All of this without a behemoth cabinet,
microphone setup, and costly motor maintenance.
Read the Lex Rotary white paper and learn how we studied and captured every rotating speaker system detail.
