Lehle switchers and volume pedals at Lauzon Music
What Lehle is known for
Getting a guitar signal from one place to another without changing it. Burkhard Georg Lehle hand-assembled his first switchers in 1999 for musicians who wanted to switch without loss of tone or added noise, and the line went on sale in 2001. Since December 2004 Lehle has wound its own transformers, the part that lets one guitar feed two amps without hum loops. The switchers use gold-plated relay and switch contacts, and the volume pedals use a magnetic Hall-effect sensor in place of a potentiometer, so there's no pot to wear out.

Questions
Lehle questions, answered
Where is Lehle gear made?
In Germany. Lehle builds in Voerde, in the Lower Rhine district, and has made its own transformers there since 2004.
Why does a Lehle ABY switcher have a transformer?
When one guitar feeds two amps at once, hum loops and phase cancellation can creep in. Lehle's answer is the Lehle Transformer HZ, designed for the weak, high-impedance signal from a pickup so the tone and the guitar-to-amp feel stay intact. It is in the Little Dual II and the P-Split III, along with phase and ground switches.
What's different about a Lehle volume pedal?
It uses a magnetic Hall-effect sensor instead of a potentiometer, so the part that usually wears out in a volume pedal isn't there. Lehle says the sound stays the same across the whole sweep.
Do you ship Lehle pedals to the US?
Yes. Lehle pedals ship insured, free over $200 across Canada and the US, and US orders carry no duty.
