8Logic Pro Effects
Amps and pedals
Logic Pro Amps and Pedals overview
Logic Pro features an extensive collection of guitar and bass amplifiers and classic
pedal effects. You can play live—or process recorded audio and software instrument
parts—through these amps and effects.
The amplifier models recreate vintage and modern tube and solid-state amps. Built-
in effect units, such as reverb, tremolo, or vibrato, are also reproduced. The modeled
amplifiers can be paired with a number of emulated speaker cabinets. These amplifiers
and speaker cabinets can be used as a matching set or combined in other ways to create
interesting hybrids.
Also emulated are a number of “classic” foot pedal effects—or stompboxes—that were,
and remain, popular with guitarists and keyboardists. As with their real-world counterparts,
you can chain pedals in any order to create your sound.
Amp Designer
Logic Pro Amp Designer overview
Amp Designer emulates the sound of more than 20 famous guitar amplifiers and the
speaker cabinets used with them. Each preconfigured model combines an amp, a cabinet,
and EQ that recreates a well-known guitar amplifier sound. You can process guitar signals
directly, reproducing the sound of your guitar played through these amplification systems.
You can also use Amp Designer for experimental sound design and processing. You can
use it with other instruments as well, applying the sonic character of a guitar amp to a
trumpet or vocal part, for example.
The amplifiers, cabinets, and EQs emulated by Amp Designer can be combined in
numerous ways to alter the tone. Virtual microphones are used to pick up the signal of
the emulated amplifier and cabinet. You can choose from, and position, seven different
microphone types. Amp Designer also emulates classic guitar amplifier effects, including
spring reverb, vibrato, and tremolo.
