Amps and pedals
Amps and pedals overview
Logic Pro X 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
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.
