The LEM Lysergic Emotions Module is a multi-head delay pedal with 8 effect modes, designed to inspire dreamy and experimental ambiances. While playing with this effect, it’s easy to run into unique, hypnotic or unexpected sound environments like shimmering repeats, reverse delays, multi-head modulations, pitch shifting, lo-fi sounds and more. Unlike a lot of delay effects units, this one really lets you get out of your comfort zone.

Not only is the LEM a wonderful delay, it adds in so many exciting ways to tweak and twist your sound. The aspects of pitch-shifting, octave jumping, reverse fields and more really give the player the opportunity to dive in and create your own new sonic path. External and CV control add more options into the mix, and Tap Tempo allows you to adjust what you’re doing on the fly.

Along with the 8 modes of ambient delay here, there are 4 on-board Presets, as well as the secondary control section, furthering the customization available here. We explore each and every different effect mode in our demo video below, along with exploring the rest of what this pedal can do. Really glad I got to put the LEM Lysergic Emotions Module Delay thru its paces – this one isn’t leaving the PotD office anytime soon…cheers!
