Electro-Harmonix Lester K Stereo Rotary Speaker Emulation Pedal
Key Features
  • For Guitar or Keyboard Effects
  • Emulates Classic Rotary Speaker
  • True Stereo Inputs & Outputs
  • Tube-Emulated Overdrive
The Lester K from Electro-Harmonix emulates the classic sound of a rotary speaker in a compact stompbox enclosure. It features true stereo 1/4" input and output jacks, a tube-emulated overdrive section, and three different modes: Slow, Fast, and Break.

Fast mode gives you that twirling tremolo sound, while Slow mode provides a chorale effect. Quickly tap on the Speed/Break footswitch to alternate between the two. However, hold down the Speed/Break footswitch, and you'll halt either setting, thereby setting off Break mode—that welcome relief-from-tension trick often used by Hammond organ players when they're holding down sustained chords. In any mode, a balance knob allows you to blend the lows of the emulated rotor with the highs of the simulated horn, effectively offering you the choice between darker and brighter timbres.

Tube-Emulated Overdrive
Push Lester hard enough and you'll drive him right to the edge with this tube-emulated overdrive feature. Set the knob fully counterclockwise to bypass the effect altogether, or crank it all the way to really overdrive the emulated speaker.
