The Little Lehle II - the universal Lehle switch­ing and looping tool.
The Little Lehle II removes effects pedals from
the signal path at the press of its button. A signal
can be picked off at any point in the signal chain,
to switch to an instrument tuner, for example.
The Little Lehle II can also be used to switch be­tween two instruments on one amp or, vice versa,
between two amps with one instrument. Extremely
diverse sound sources are possible - signals from
pickups, microphones and keyboard line-out
sockets are routed loss-free to the target ampli­fier or recorders, and all jack plugs are stereo.
Switches with gold-plated contacts assure True
Bypass. As on this unit’s “big brother”, the Lehle
D.Loop SGoS, not only the stereo signal, but also
the signal ground, is switched – so hum loops just
can’t happen any more when switching between
two amps or looping effects.
The easy-action mushroom-shaped button charac­teristic of Lehle products is mounted in the cover,
so that your foot pressure is transmitted indirectly,
via only a spring, to the slide switch with its gold-

plated contacts. The printed circuit board with the
electronics on it is thus not exposed to mechanical
loads, making the Little Lehle II virtually inde­structible and guaranteeing years of trouble-free
switching.
