Lusithand ROSA Overdrive (bass)

The Rosa Overdrive was born from the concept of a drive pedal that emulates playing through a tube-amp, getting pushed and saturated.

Lusithand focused on the "feel" for the ROSA and how effortless it feels to play through it, whether playing softly with fingers at lower gain settings, or digging in with a pick at higher gain settings. This pedal is well-suited for bass guitar, offering a sound that can range from fairly clean to well-saturated (almost fuzz-like) from one end of the Drive knob to the other. The bottom end is substantial.

Features

• CL switch: Inserts a good amount of clean signal into the mix. This is essential for a cleaner sound at lower gain settings, adding definition and an amp-like-tone at higher gains.
• HOT switch: Changes the voicing of the Drive channel. Down is for cleaner, and up is for hotter and thicker.
• HI switch: Extends the higher frequencies for the driven signal.

Knobs

• EQZ knob: A Tilt Equalizer that allows gentle and musical compensation for different sounding instruments.
  • At the 12 o'clock position, the sound is flat with no colouring.
  • Turning clockwise boosts frequencies above the tilt point and attenuates those below.
  • Turning anti-clockwise boosts frequencies below the tilt point and attenuates those above.
• DRIVE knob: Controls the amount of drive, ranging from slightly saturated to overly saturated. As the drive increases, the signal compresses more while maintaining dynamics.
• VOL knob: Controls the overall volume of the pedal.
