Pickup Leslee for Stratocaster

The Pickup LesLee®

The Pickup LesLee circuit is a new and revolutionary approach to creating effects.  Tremolo and Vibe effects are generated from alternating your neck and bridge pickup signals – not from applying an effect to your signal the way you would if you were using pedals.  This approach preserves the character of your guitar’s tone while offering rich and dynamic tremolo and phasing effects simply by plugging into an amplifier with a standard guitar cable.  On/Off and speed controls are present at your fingertips, and even richer swirling soundscapes can be achieved by switching to stereo-mode and plugging into two amplifiers with the included stereo Y cable!

Pickup LesLee® for Stratocaster®

In keeping with the classic Strat® control format, full control of the circuit is available at your fingertips.  A push/pull pot replaces the middle tone control transforming it into a master tone and stereo/mono selector, while the lower tone control is replaced with a push/pull ON/OFF/SPEED control for the circuit.  Your volume control remains unaltered. 

 Features

• Revolutionary new approach to “effects”.  Tremolo and Vibe tones are generated from alternating the neck and bridge pickup signals – NOT from applying an effect to your tone the way you would if you were using pedals.
