Amps and pedals overview
Logic Pro X features an extensive collection of guitar and bass ampliers and classic pedal eects.
You can play live—or process recorded audio and software instrument parts—through these
amps and eects.
The amplier models recreate vintage and modern tube and solid-state amps. Built-in eect
units, such as reverb, tremolo, or vibrato, are also reproduced. The modeled ampliers can be
paired with a number of emulated speaker cabinets. These ampliers 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 eects—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
Amp Designer overview
Amp Designer emulates the sound of more than 20 famous guitar ampliers and the speaker
cabinets used with them. Each precongured model combines an amp, a cabinet, and EQ
that recreates a well-known guitar amplier sound. You can process guitar signals directly,
reproducing the sound of your guitar played through these amplication 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 ampliers, 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
amplier and cabinet. You can choose from, and position, seven dierent microphone types.
Amp Designer also emulates classic guitar amplier eects, including spring reverb, vibrato,
and tremolo.
