SA244 L.A. Lady Overdrive User’s Guide 9
Extreme overshoot: The overshoot
phenomenon can be taken to its extreme for
fuzz and metal sounds.
Octave: A rectifier can be used to double the
frequency of the signal, creating an octave fuzz
effect with a unique tonal character.
The various drive circuits in the L.A. Lady Overdrive utilize a combination of these different
approaches to create tones inspired by the classics, as well as new groundbreaking tones that bring
their own unique flavors.
Effect Types
The L.A. Lady includes three basic overdrive types, with more effects available in the Neuro mobile
app.
Classic
The Classic circuit offers an overdriven amp distortion sound with a smooth texture. Good for adding
a little extra grind for an “always on” tone.
Crunch
The Crunch circuit is our own version of an overdriven tube amp made more aggressive and out front.
Smooth
The Smooth circuit offers a heavily saturated tone reminiscent of Mesa-Boogie® amplifiers. This
aggressive approach to overdrive with its boosted highs and lows generates the thick, focused and
heavily sustaining tone that inspired countless artists from Carlos Santana to Metallica.
Additional Effect Types
Additional effect types can be loaded into the L.A. Lady using the Neuro App on your mobile device
(iOS / Android) or the built-in USB port (Mac / Windows).
The L.A. Lady Overdrive is compatible with Source Audio’s Fuzz and Distortion effects, so it is possible
to load Overdrive, Distortion, and Fuzz effects on the L.A. Lady at the same time.
