LEDs
Engage / Bypass LED
The ENGAGE / BYPASS LED above the footswitch indicates if the Overdrive effect is active (lit green) or
bypassed (not lit).
When the user preset mode is enabled, the LED will turn red. See the Preset Storage and Recall
section for more information about user presets.
External Control LED
The small LED located between the Depth and Speed knobs is the EXTERNAL CONTROL LED. When lit, it
indicates that external control mode (expression, hot hand, or MIDI) is active. For more information,
see the External Control section.
Footswitch
Enables or bypasses the Overdrive effect.
Control Input Button
This small button is used when configuring external control. See the External Control section for
more details.
Preset Storage and Recall
The L.A. Lady features a user preset that can be easily saved and recalled using the footswitch. When
a preset is recalled, all of the parameters instantly jump to their saved value, regardless of the
position of the knobs. This allows you to save your favorite sound without having to worry about the
knob positions.
Saving Your First Preset
Bypass the L.A. Lady by clicking the ON/OFF FOOTSWITCH once. The ENGAGE/BYPASS LED should be
dark at this time.
Press and hold the ON/OFF FOOTSWITCH for 5 seconds and wait for the ENGAGE/BYPASS LED to turn
red. You are now in preset mode.
Set up the effect how you want it to sound, including the EFFECT SWITCH, LEVEL KNOB, DRIVE KNOB,
BASS KNOB, and TREBLE KNOB. Once you have made a change, the ENGAGE/BYPASS LED will begin to
blink.
To save your preset, hold the footswitch until the ENGAGE/BYPASS LED blinks rapidly 3 times.
Now you can engage and bypass the L.A. Lady using the ON/OFF FOOTSWITCH, and each time you
engage the effect, your saved preset will be recalled.
