Lehle Introduces the Little Dual II and P-Split III

New features include an intelligent true-bypass relay circuit with active pop suppression.

Voerde, Germany (August 27, 2019) -- The Lehle Little Dual II is the successor to the Lehle Little Dual and is a maximum signalfidelity amp switcher for two amps. By using the soft-touch switches you can switch between two connected amplifiers hum-free and without sound loss. The Lehle-Switches work with a microcontroller and an intelligent True-Bypass-Relay-Circuit with active pop noise suppression circuit. Thereby they switch the Lehle Little Dual II even faster than mechanical switches and in addition to that wear-and noise-free.

The centrepiece of the Lehle Little Dual II is its high-end Lehle Transformer HZ, which galvanically isolates output A from output B, making history of hum loops - permanently! Additionally the Lehle Little Dual II is equipped with a TRS switch. Therewith it is possible to send in above-mentioned stereo- or dual-mono signals via a TRS jack or ā€œstereo-jackā€.

These signals can be operated either in alternation or in parallel - without hum, and without sound losses, needless to say. The Lehle Little Dual II - small, but so utterly effective!

  • ABY switcher (A or B or both)
  • Hum and noise-free switching
  • High-impedance Lehle Transformer HZ

The Lehle P-Split III combines passive splitting with the highest possible signal fidelity. Its applications range from splitting signals and eliminating hum, to balancing and reamplification along with any signal routing that requires a clean signal free from noise.

At its core is the high-end Lehle Transformer HZ, which galvanically isolates the two outputs, eliminating any possibility of ground loops. The Lehle Transformer HZ was specially designed for use with high-impedance signals but also splits low-impedance signals with uncompromisingsound quality. The signal can be picked off either symmetrically or asymmetrically from the ISO output.

  • Passive splitter and DI box
  • Absolutely no signal loss or hum
  • High-impedance Lehle Transformer HZ
  • Phase and ground switch
  • Suitable for balanced or unbalanced signals

An affordable version of Eastman’s U.S.-made solidbody rolls with unique, well-executed features—at a price and quality level that rivals very tough competition.

Eastman’s instruments regularly impress in terms ofquality and performance. A few left my PG colleagues downright smitten. But if Eastman isn’t a household name among guitarists, it might be a case of consumer psychology: Relative to most instruments built in China, Eastmans are expensive. So, if you spend your life longing for a Gibson 335 and a comparable (if superficially fancier) Eastman costs just 20 percent less than the least expensive version of the real deal, why not save up for a bit longer and get the guitar of your dreams?

An easy guide to re-anchoring a loose tuning machine, restoring a ā€œlostā€ input jack, refinishing dinged frets, and staunching a dinged surface. Result: no repair fees!

This late-’90s Masterbilt was made to mimic the feeling and look of vintage luxury.

This collaborative effort between Japanese and American guitar builders aimed for old-school quality without breaking the bank.

I recently called a rideshare to pick me up from the airport and was surprised when the driver pulled up in a Jaguar. I’d never been in one and was stunned at how quiet it was, and how the backseat was as comfortable as a living room couch, but retained a refined look. This 1998 Masterbilt prototype reminds me of that airport ride.
