sliders to determine the parameters controlled by the modulation wheel.
Bass Amp
The Bass Amp plug-in simulates the sound of several famous bass amplifiers. You can
process bass guitar signals directly within Logic and reproduce the sound of high-
quality bass guitar amplification systems.
You can also use the Bass Amp for experimental sound design. You may freely use the
plug-in on other instruments, as desired—applying the sonic character of a bass amp
to a vocal or drum part, for example.
Nine different amplifier models can be accessed via the Model pop-up menu at the top
of the Bass Amp interface:
 American Basic: American bass amp model from the 1970’s, equipped with eight 10’’
speakers. Well suited for blues and rock recordings.
 American Deep: Based on American Basic amp model, with strong lower mid
frequency (from 500 Hz on) emphasis. Well suited for reggae and pop recordings.
 American Bright: Based on the American Basic setting, this setting massively

and rock recordings.
