Guitar Amp Pro amplifier controls in Logic Pro for Mac
The Gain, Bass, Mids, Treble, Presence, and Master knobs run from left to right in the V-shaped formation in the upper half of the interface.
Amplifier parameters
Gain knob: Set the amount of pre-amplification applied to the input signal. This control has different effects, depending on which Amp model is chosen. For example, when you are using the British Clean amp model, the maximum Gain setting produces a powerful crunch sound. If you use the British Gain or Modern Gain amps, the same Gain setting produces heavy distortion, suitable for lead solos.
Bass, Mids, and Treble knobs: Adjust the frequency range levels of the EQ models, similar to the tone knobs on a hardware guitar amplifier.
Presence knob: Adjust the high frequency range level. The Presence parameter affects only the output (Master) stage of Guitar Amp Pro.
Master knob: Set the output volume of the amplifier—going to the speaker. For tube amplifiers, increasing the Master level typically produces a more compressed and saturated sound, resulting in a more distorted and powerful—that is, louder—signal. High Master settings can produce an extremely loud output that can damage your speakers or hearing, so ramp this up slowly. In Guitar Amp Pro, the Master parameter modifies the sonic character, and the final output level is set using the Output parameter at the bottom of the interface.
