SA244 L.A. Lady Overdrive User’s Guide 22
1. Press the CONTROL INPUT BUTTON to turn on Control Input mode. The CONTROL LED should be
lit green.
2. Press and hold the CONTROL INPUT BUTTON until the CONTROL LED begins to blink slowly
(approximately one blink per second).
3. Move the Hot Hand ring over the range of motion you would like to use to control the L.A.
Lady. The easiest way to do this is to move the ring in the same way that you intend to move
it as you perform. The L.A. Lady will intelligently select the X or Y axis of the Hot Hand
automatically, based on the motion of the ring.
4. After setting Hot Hand range of motion, click the L.A. Lady’s ON/OFF FOOTSWITCH once. The
calibration is now complete, and the CONTROL LED will blink faster (about 2 blinks per
second). Now, it is time to map the Hot Hand to the effect parameters.
5. Move the knob(s) you wish to control with the Hot Hand to their minimum desired position,
then click the L.A. Lady’s ON/OFF FOOTSWITCH. The CONTROL LED will now blink even faster
(about 4 blinks per second). Note that you may control one or more knobs with the Hot
Hand, up to four total knobs.
6. Move the knob(s) you wish to control with the Hot Hand to their maximum desired position,
then click the L.A. Lady’s ON/OFF FOOTSWITCH. The CONTROL LED will now be lit solid green.
Note that you may control one or more knobs with the Hot Hand, up to four total knobs.
7. After setting the minimum and maximum knob positions, the parameter mapping is
complete.
Note: The parameter range can be inverted by swapping the minimum and maximum position of the
knobs during calibration.
Reset Expression Control Mapping
To clear the expression control mapping (Expression or Hot Hand), first press the CONTROL INPUT
BUTTON and turn off Control Input mode. The CONTROL LED should be dark. Then, press and hold the
CONTROL INPUT BUTTON until the CONTROL LED blinks. This clears all Expression, Hot Hand, and MIDI
mapping.
Neuro App
The Neuro App is available as a free download for iOS and Android devices. Get the iOS version from
the App Store or the Android version from the Play Store. The Neuro App provides access to a
number of parameters that are not accessible on the control knobs, as well additional effect types. In
order to use the Neuro App, use the included 3.5 mm to ¼” TRS cable to make a connection between
the headphone jack on your mobile device and the Input 2 jack on the hardware. The Neuro App uses
special audio signals sent over your mobile device’s headphone jack to remotely control the pedal.
Make sure the headphone volume on your mobile device is set to maximum when using the Neuro
App for the most reliable device to pedal communication.
