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.
Editing a Preset
 Activate your preset (the ENGAGE/BYPASS LED will be solid red).
 Change any parameter you wish (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.
 When you are ready to save, press and hold the ON/OFF FOOTSWITCH for a few seconds. The
ENGAGE/BYPASS LED will blink three times to show that the preset was saved.
Exiting Preset Mode
 When Preset Mode is active, bypass the effect using the ON/OFF FOOTSWITCH. 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
green. You have now exited Preset Mode.
Universal Bypass
TM
Most effect pedals offer either true bypass or buffered bypass. The L.A. Lady contains two separate
circuits for bypass mode, allowing you to choose the method you prefer. The true bypass path uses
signal relays, which are electromechanical switches. This provides an ultra-low resistance path from
the input jacks to the output jacks, which is effectively the same as a wire. The buffered bypass path
uses extremely low noise buffers, which provide a very low output impedance and are effective for
driving long cables or long chains of effects following the L.A. Lady’s audio output.
