Amp Designer in Logic Pro for iPad
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.
To add Amp Designer to your project, choose Amps and Pedals > Amp Designer in the Plug-ins area or a channel strip Audio Effect plug-in menu. See Intro to plug-ins. Also see Add, replace, reorder, and remove plug-ins in the Plug-ins area and Work with plug-ins in the Mixer.
The Amp Designer interface is divided into several parameter sections.
Combo parameters: The Model pop-up menu at the top is used to choose a preconfigured model, consisting of an amplifier, a cabinet, an EQ type, and a microphone type. Individual pop-up menus enable you to independently choose the type of amplifier, cabinet, and microphone. See Build a custom Amp Designer combo.
Amp parameters: These parameters are used to set the input gain, presence, and output level of an amp. See Amp Designer amplifier controls.
EQ parameters: These parameters are used to set the equalization parameters. See Amp Designer EQ.
Effects parameters: These parameters control the integrated reverb effect and tremolo and vibrato.
Microphone parameters: These parameters set the type and position of the microphone that captures the amplifier and cabinet sound. See Amp Designer microphone parameters.
Output Gain slider: The Output Gain slider serves as the final level control for Amp Designer output that is fed to ensuing effect slots in the channel strip or directly to the channel strip output.
Note: This is different from the Master knob in the Amp parameters, which serves the dual purpose of sound design and level control of the Amp section.
Choose an Amp Designer model
You can use the Model pop-up menu to choose a preconfigured model, or you can build a customized model using the Amp, Speaker, and Mic Type pop-up menus. See Build a custom Amp Designer combo. Your choices remain visible in the pop-up menu fields.
Model pop-up menu: Choose a preconfigured model, consisting of an amplifier, a cabinet, an EQ type, and a microphone type.
