Overdrive is arguably the most widely used guitar effect in music. Whether you achieve it from cranking your amplifier to 11 or by stepping on a pedal on the floor, Overdrive is a must have effect in your arsenal.

The Source Audio LA Lady Overdrive offers three distinctly different Overdrive sounds; Classic, Crunch and Smooth. With controls for Drive, Level, Bass and Treble, you have full control over your tone making it easy to dial in a great sounding overdrive. The LA Lady has stereo inputs and outputs allowing you to plug into two amplifiers for a huge wall of sound! The Stereo set up also allows you to distort upstream stereo signals, split a mono signal to dual outputs, or use the additional in and out as an external effects loop.

Each pedal from Source Audio's One Series line is compatible with the Neuro Mobile App (a free download for iOS and Android) which opens up a plethora of presets and customisation and editing features.

Key Features

  • 3 Overdrive Modes – "Classic" mode delivers the sought after "Marshall in a box" sound. "Crunch" mode takes you into Stevie Ray-esque Texas Blues territory and "Smooth" mode produces a tube amp inspired lead tone with plenty of warmth and sustain.
  • Stereo Operation – Connect the LA Lady to two amplifiers for a huge, wide, overdriven sound. Once you've gone stereo, you won't want to go back!
  • Universal Bypass – Chose between an analogue buffered or relay based True Bypass depending on where the LA Lady sits in your signal chain.
  • Stackable Drive Engines – Dual drive engines and stereo inputs and outputs make it possible (via the Neuro App) to stack any combination of drive engines in either series or parallel as well as split the signal and send a separate drive engine to each of the pedal’s outputs.

Specifications

  • Includes 9v DC power supply (300mA / Negative Tip)
  • Includes 1/8” to 1/4” cable for Neuro Mobile App connection.
  • Power Consumption – 150mA
  • USB port – Connects to Mac or Windows PC for firmware updates and the forthcoming in-depth effects editing software.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive uses soft or moderate clipping to add harmonics and compression while retaining more of the original note shape than heavy distortion. Some circuits emphasise the midrange and trim bass before clipping; others remain broad, transparent or amplifier-like. Gain, clipping arrangement, headroom and tone filtering decide whether it supplies a light edge, a saturated drive sound or extra push into another gain stage.

Tags

Bass

Voiced or equipped to retain low-frequency fundamentals and the higher headroom of a bass signal. Clean blends, crossovers and bass-specific filter ranges can preserve weight and articulation while the effected portion adds harmonics, movement or ambience.

Presets

Stores complete groups of parameter values for later recall. The number of locations, switching time, spillover behaviour and whether presets include routing, expression and MIDI assignments determine how completely one sound can change into another.

Stereo

Processes, creates or passes two audio channels. True stereo preserves separate left and right inputs, while mono-to-stereo effects generate spatial differences internally; routing, phase behaviour and whether trails remain stereo determine the resulting image. Some outputs sum to mono when only one socket is connected, which can change level or modulation depth.
