Video: Logic Pro 9′s guitar Amp Designer
By Jim DalrympleJuly 28, 2009, 11:29 am PT
Without a doubt my favorite feature in the new Logic Pro 9 and Mainstage 2 is Amp Designer.
Amp Designer is a completely new way for Logic users to shape the sound of their guitar tracks. Unlike the old plug-in, Guitar Pro, Amp Designer gives you a visual representation of the amps you are using.
It’s not hard to tell that you have an AC30, Plexi and JCM800 among the amps in the application. You’ll also see some other friendly faces in there too.
In this video, I run through a few of the amps and give you an idea of what they sound like. You can also watch the videos on Flex Time.

Hey man, great video. I just got Logic 9 up and running last night and was most interested in using the amp designer. I messed around with it for about an hour and was having a lot of trouble getting the tone I wanted, so I had a couple questions for you. 1. What type of guitar are you using? 2. As far as distortion/overdrive, are you using pedals (actual pedals, not the logic pedalboard) to get your tone or using the gain on the amp sims? I absolutely love the tone of the Large Blackface Combo you got. Any pointers in getting the best tone possible? Mostly for pop-punk alternative rock type stuff?
If I remember correctly, I was using my Les Paul. I have 14 guitars, so I don't know exactly which one it was. I was only using the amps and effects from Amp Designer, no outboard pedals at all.
When building a tone, I like to get as close as I can with just the amp. You can add effects after that, but do as much as you can with the amp first. Too many effects will muddy your tone.
Hope that helps.
Definitely helps a lot. Still having trouble with getting the same tone you got with the Large Blackface Combo. Looks like you're just using the factory settings, and when I select it the tone is fairly clean.
