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.
Mic Distance varies the placement of the microphones at the horn (stereo pair) and rotor
(single mic). Choose from up close, tight and intense, to distant miking with evened-out
fluctuations.
Horn Level allows you to adjust the horn volume. Adjust in conjunction with Mic Distance to
find the desired amount of high-end, and to match the sound with your particular setup.
Secondary Functions
Three "hidden" knobs for extensive tweaking: Slow Rotor Speed, Acceleration Time, +/- 6dB
Boost/Cut. Your 4-knob Lex Rotary is actually a 7-knob rotating speaker machine!
Slow Rotor Speed adjusts the rotational speed of the effect when spinning in Slow mode. At
minimum Slow Rotor setting, the speed is zero, or "braked", so you can set up a one-speed
rotary system that switches between fast and stationary.
Acceleration Time varies the time it takes for the Lex rotating assembly to speed up and
slow down. Set a quick acceleration if you're interested in the destination, or select a slower
acceleration if you think the fun is in getting there. At all settings, the drum will take longer
than the horn to reach its final speed.
+/- 6dB Boost/Cut allows balancing the output level under all conditions. Achieve a plus or
minus 6dB boost or cut when the pedal is engaged.
More Features
Fast/Slow Speed switch
Instantly alternate between a fast and slow rotor speed. Ramp up and slow down with the
press of a switch.
Rotary Brake
Press and hold the Fast/Slow switch to put the brakes on. The Lex rotary will wind down and
stop. When at rest, the horn and drum "brake angle" is optimally positioned for consistent
results. Release the Fast/Slow switch and the rotary will begin to spin.
Bi-Amping
Lex provides you with a selectable Bi-Amp mode to send bass rotor signal out to the Left
output, and the treble horn to the Right output. Stack two cabinets and add another
dimension to your sound.
