Dear Musician!
Thank you for purchasing the
LITTLE LEHLE III!
I have been building units that switch,
split and route signals with no technical
compromises and with maximum musi-
cal fidelity since 1999. Your new LITTLE
LEHLE III comprises only the very best
components.
Every assembly of your LITTLE LEHLE III
has been made and tested in Germany.
Your LITTLE LEHLE III is of extremely ro-
bust design and construction, to make
sure that you get absolutely years and
years of enjoyment from it. If you should
nonetheless have a problem, or simply a
question, just mail me or a member of the
Lehle team at:

The LITTLE LEHLE III - The universal Lehle
switching and looping tool.
The LITTLE LEHLE III allows you to remove
eects pedals from your signal path at
the press of a button.
A signal can be picked o at any point
in the signal chain - for example, allow-
ing you to switch to an instrument tuner.
The LITTLE LEHLE III can also be used to
switch between two instruments with one
amp or, vice versa, between two amps
with one instrument.
Extremely diverse sound sources are no
problem. Signals from pickups, micro-
phones and keyboard line-out sockets
are routed loss-free to a target amplifier
or recorder.
All jack sockets are stereo, so you can re-
route balanced signals too.
With the release of the LITTLE LEHLE III
you can now combine mono and stereo
signals. This will allow you to integrate
an eects pedal with a mono input and
stereo output into the signal path of the
LITTLE LEHLE III without limitations.
The LEHLE-Switch works with a micro-
controller and an intelligent true bypass
relay circuit with an active pop suppres-
sion function, thereby allowing the LITTLE
LEHLE III to switch even faster than me-
chanical switches, noise-free and without
wear.
The easy-action mushroom-shaped but-
ton characteristic of LEHLE products is
mounted in the cover so that your foot
pressure is transmitted indirectly via a
spring. Thus the circuit board is not ex-
posed to mechanical loads, making the
LITTLE LEHLE III virtually indestructible
and guaranteeing years of trouble-free
switching.
Not only is the stereo signal switched, but
also the earth, - so say ‘goodbye’ to hum
when switching between two amps, and
selecting eects loops - it just can’t hap-
pen anymore.
New for the LITTLE LEHLE III are the three
operating modes, making the switch work
as either a latching or momentary switch,
allowing for short or rhythmic stutter-ef-
fects.

The third mode combines a mixture of
operating mode one and two: a short
press engages the latching function and
a long press is momentary. These three
modes can be operated with or without
pop suppression.
Think of the creative potential.
We take care of your signal so that you
can take care of the music.
