LEHLE PARALLEL SW II AS MIXER FOR TWO PICKUPS OF AN
INSTRUMENT
Many instruments have two different
types of pickup, such as one magnetic
and one piezo pickups, for example. The
LEHLE PARALLEL SW II is excellent at mix-
ing these signals.
Mixing of signals from two different
pickups can cause problems with phase
cancellations, with the mixed sound then
being thin and weak. This problem can
be quickly eliminated using the phase
reverse switch (4). Press this switch and
the phase on the Return input is reversed,
and the mixed sound from the two pick-
ups becomes full and rich again.
HOW TO DO THIS
1. Connect your instrument’s first pickup
to the Input socket (1) of the LEHLE PAR-
ALLEL SW II.
2. Connect your instrument’s second
pickup to the Return input (5).
3. Use the Return controller (11) to set the
sensitivity for your second pickup.
4. Use the MIX controller (10) on the
LEHLE PARALLEL SW II to set the required
mixing ratio for the two pickups.
5. Connect your amplifier to the Output
socket (6) of the LEHLE PARALLEL SW II.
6. Check the overall sound for any phase
cancellations and, if necessary, press the
phase reverse switch (4).
7. Use the True-Bypass switch (12) to
switch between the mix of the two pickups
(LED shows blue) and the signal from the
first pickup only (LED white).
8. Done!
