LEZLIE

The Lezlie function is only available in Configuration #s 3 and 5. The Lezlie parameters found in Configuration 3 include: Motor (on/off), Speed (fast/slow), and Horn Level (-6 to +6 db). In addition to these, the Lezlie found in Configuration #6 also provides 3 additional parameters: Input 1, Input 2 and Input 1 & 2 Balance. The Lezlie in Configuration #3 takes its input from the Send 1 signal. In Configuration 5, the Lezlie can receive a combination of two inputs, which can be assigned to a variety of sources.

Motor (On/Off) Page 1 (Config. 3) or Page 4 (Config. 5)

This determines whether the Lezlie is operating or not. When turned on, the rotating speaker effect slowly starts up. When turned off, the effect slowly dies down until a complete stop. When using this parameter as a Mod Destination (see above), be sure to set it opposite of the Mod Level. Example: If the Mod Source is a footswitch and the level is at +100, set the Motor to “OFF” so that the footswitch turns on the motor when pressed and turns off the motor when released.

Speed (Slow/Fast) Page 2 (Config. 3) or Page 5 (Config. 5)

This determines the speed the rotating effect “spins”.

Horn Level (-6 to +6 dB) Page 3 (Config. 3) or Page 6 (Config. 5)

This allows you to cut or boost the high frequency signal from the Lezlie effect from -6 to +6 dB, in 1 dB increments.

Input 1 & 2 Pages 1 & 2 (Config. 5 only)

Pages 1 and 2 of the Lezlie effect found in Configuration #5 lets you select from two possible input sources. Input 1 sources include: Reverb Output and Delay Output. Input 2 sources include: Send 1 – 4, Overdrive Output, Pitch Input, Pitch Output, Delay Input and Reverb Input.

Input Balance (<99 to <0> to 99>) Page 3 (Config. 5 only)

This parameter controls the Balance between the Input 1 and Input 2 signals going into the Lezlie effect. When set to “<99”, only the signal coming from Input 1 is routed to the Lezlie. When set to “99>”, only the signal coming from Input 2 is routed to the Lezlie. When set to “<0>”, an even mix of both Input 1 and Input 2 are fed to the Lezlie.
