FAQs
What is the difference between the horn and drum controls?
The horn simulates the high-frequency driver, and the drum simulates the low-frequency rotor. You can adjust their speeds independently to achieve different sonic characteristics.
How do I choose between true bypass and buffered bypass?
True bypass removes the pedal from the signal chain when off, while buffered bypass preserves your signal. Choose buffered bypass if you have long cable runs or many pedals.
Can I use this pedal with bass guitar?
Yes, although the effect might be more pronounced with some settings and less noticeable on others.
What kind of power supply does the Lex V2 need?
It requires a 9V DC power supply with a standard 2.1mm barrel connector.
How do I calibrate the expression pedal?
There is no calibration needed, it simply controls the designated parameters.
Where can I find the serial number?
The serial number is located on the back of the pedal.
Troubleshooting
No sound or distorted sound.
Check the input and output connections. Ensure the pedal is receiving power, and that the amplifier volume is up. Try different cables.
The effect sounds weak or thin.
Adjust the drive and mix controls. Experiment with the horn and drum speeds.
The expression pedal is not working.
Ensure the expression pedal is correctly connected to the EXP input. Make sure the expression pedal polarity is compatible.
