Chris Lord-Alge’s effects toolbox with distortion, delays, pitch, reverb and EQ for lo-fi, filtered and wide effects.

CLA Effects was developed with Chris Lord-Alge (Foo Fighters, Bowie, Nine Inch Nails) and combines six effects, each with its own fader and three modes. Three distortion flavours range from gentle drive to fuzz, short and long delays sync to the session tempo (except slapback), and the “Throw” switch momentarily sends the signal into the long delay. Room, Hall and Canyon reverbs, chorus, widening, tape flanging and an EQ with telephone effect suit vocal adlibs, effects buses and instruments.
