When You Need Effects That Will Surprise You
Sometimes you want to go beyond basic processing—and so does Chris Lord-Alge (Foo Fighters, Bowie, Nine Inch Nails). CLA Effects puts the “special” in special effects with distortion, two types of delay, a novel “throw” switch for expressive delay, pitch processing, reverb, and more.
Transport your effects buses and tracks to a world of lo-fi fuzz, dub-style delay, tape flanging, wide stereo, versatile echoes, novel EQ, and other tools for polishing your sound or adding that unexpected effect.
“Filtered vocal? Check. Telephone FX? Check. John Lennon ‘I Am the Walrus’ vocal distortion? Check and double-check. Multiple delays with tape phasing? You got it. Reverb, tape slap, and long echo all at once? Yes, yes, and yes. To top it all off, all tempos are matched to the session BPM, cutting out all the guesswork.”—Chris Lord-Alge
