Add some dirt to your productions with the distortion effects of Logic Pro 7. For guitarists, the Guitar Amp offers a combination of different amplifiers and microphones to model a guitar sound after personal conceivability. Compared with this, Logic’s other distortion effects likely tailor around the needs of the classical sound wizard, such as adding a sharp edge to a synthesizer sound or spicing up a drum-loop.

Guitar Amp Pro

Specially tailored for the electric guitarist, the Guitar Amp Pro effect provides a faithful recreation of eleven classic guitar amplifiers and fifteen different types of cabinets or speakers. Condenser and dynamic microphone models, an EQ, two classic modulation effects and a reverb provide further sonic manipulation. Connect your guitar directly to your Macintosh to enjoy versatile amplifier sounds or re-amp your recordings in Logic Pro 7 for additional signal overtones and new tonal colors.

Overdrive and Distortion

Two well-known effects, Overdrive and Distortion will come in handy by musicians of all genres. Move the Drive slider to increase transistor saturation. The Tone knob filters the harmonic-laden distortion signal, resulting in softer tonal characteristics. The difference between both effects is the softer overmodulation of field-effect transistors (overdrive) in contrast to the harder overmodulation of bipolar transistors (distortion).

BitCrusher

The rough character of low resolution digital signals can provide a desirable distortion effect, such as simulations of the legendary Fairlight CMI or even the 4-bit sound of the Commodore 64 for example. This effect adds a precisely measured amount of artificial aliasing to the signal, resulting in effects that resemble a slightly detuned short wave radio, right through to drastic distortion effects.

Clip Distortion

Specially designed for fans of the classic “tube sound” and who also like to experiment, the Clip Distortion plug-in offers extreme, non-linear distortion effects. Likewise, users will find the plug-in suitable for authentic recreations of warm tube amplifier sounds.

Phase Distortion

The Phase Distortion plug-in is based on a modulated delay line, much like the well-known chorus and flanger effects. As opposed to these, the delay time is not modulated by a low frequency oscillator (LFO), but by a low-pass-filtered version of the audio input signal itself — allowing the signal to modulate its own phase position.

Classic Distortion

A spin-off of the EVB3 software instrument, the Distortion II plug-in offers three different tube amplifier simulations: a Leslie 122, a classic guitar amplifier and an amplifier with a more aggressive sound character, allowing for drastic distortion effects.
