Lehle Little Lehle III Effects Loop Switcher

The Little Lehle III allows to add or remove effects pedals from signal path at the press of a button.

A signal can be picked off at any point in the signal chain, for example allowing to switch to an instrument tuner. The Little Lehle III can also be used to switch between two instruments with one amp or, vice versa, between two amps with one instrument. Extremely diverse sound sources are no problem. Signals from pickups, microphones and keyboard line-out sockets are routed loss-free to a target amplifier or recorder. All jack sockets are stereo, so can re-route balanced signals too.
With the release of the Little Lehle III can now combine mono and stereo signals. This will allow to integrate an effects pedal with a mono input and stereo output into the signal path of the Little Lehle III without limitations. The Lehle-Switch works with a microcontroller and an intelligent true bypass relay circuit with an active pop suppression function, thereby allowing the Little Lehle III to switch even faster than mechanical switches, noise free and without wear.

The easy-action mushroom-shaped button characteristic of Lehle products is mounted in the cover so that foot pressure is transmitted indirectly via a spring. Thus the circuit board is not exposed to mechanical loads, making the Little Lehle III virtually indestructible and guaranteeing years of trouble-free switching.

Not only is the stereo signal switched, but also the earth, – so say ‘goodbye’ to hum when switching between two amps, and selecting effect loops – it just can’t happen anymore.

New for the Little Lehle III are the three operating modes, making the switch work as either a latching or momentary switch, allowing for short or rhythmic stutter-effects. The third mode combines a mixture of operating mode one and two: a short hit engages the latching function and a long hit is momentary.
