Distortion pedals in Logic Pro for Mac

This table describes the distortion effects pedals.

Stompbox	Description
	Candy Fuzz is a bright, “nasty” distortion effect. On/Off switch: Turn on or turn off the pedal. The LED indicates the pedal state. Drive knob: Set the input gain. Level knob: Set the output level.
	Double Dragon is a deluxe distortion effect. On/Off switch: Turn on or turn off the pedal. The LED indicates the pedal state. Drive knob: Set the amount of saturation applied to the input signal. Tone knob: Set the cutoff frequency. Level knob: Set the output level. Input knob: Set the input level. Squash knob: Set the threshold for the internal compression circuit. Contour knob: Set the amount of nonlinear distortion applied to the signal. Mix knob: Set the ratio between the source and distorted signals. Bright/Fat switch: Choose between two fixed high shelving filter frequencies. LED color indicates the switch state.
	Fuzz Machine is an American “fuzz” distortion effect. On/Off switch: Turn on or turn off the pedal. The LED indicates the pedal state. Fuzz knob: Set the input gain. Level knob: Set the output level. Tone knob: Increase treble, while simultaneously reducing low frequencies, as you move it to higher values.
	Grinder is a lo-fi dirty “metal” distortion. On/Off switch: Turn on or turn off the pedal. The LED indicates the pedal state. Grind knob: Set the amount of drive applied to the input signal. Filter knob: Make the sound harsher and more crunchy at higher values. Level knob: Set the output level. Full/Scoop switch: Choose between two fixed Gain/Q filter settings. At the Full position, filtering is less pronounced than at the Scoop position. LED color indicates the switch state.
	Grit is a hard and nasty filtered distortion effect that sounds great on keyboards and guitars. On/Off switch: Turn on or turn off the pedal. The LED indicates the pedal state. Volume knob: Set the amount of drive applied to the input signal. Filter knob: Make the sound harsher and more crunchy at higher values. Distortion knob: Set the amount of drive applied to the output signal.
	Happy Face Fuzz is a softer, full-sounding distortion effect. On/Off switch: Turn on or turn off the pedal. The LED indicates the pedal state. Fuzz knob: Set the amount of saturation applied to the input signal. Volume knob: Set the output level.
	Hi-Drive is an overdrive effect that can emphasize high frequency content in the signal. On/Off switch: Turn on or turn off the pedal. The LED indicates the pedal state. Level knob: Set the output level. Treble/Full switch: Set a fixed shelving frequency, allowing either the treble portion or the full range input signal to be processed.
	Monster Fuzz is a saturated, slightly harsh distortion. On/Off switch: Turn on or turn off the pedal. The LED indicates the pedal state. Roar knob: Set the amount of gain applied to the input signal. Growl knob: Set the amount of saturation. Tone knob: Set the overall color of the distortion. Higher values increase treble with a corresponding decrease in overall volume. Texture knob: Smooth or roughen the distortion. Grain knob: Set the amount of nonlinear distortion applied to the signal. Level knob: Set the output level.
	Octafuzz is a fat fuzz effect that can deliver a soft, saturated distortion. On/Off switch: Turn on or turn off the pedal. The LED indicates the pedal state. Fuzz knob: Set the amount of gain applied to the input signal. Level knob: Set the output level. Tone knob: Set the cutoff frequency of the integrated highpass filter.
	Rawk! Distortion is a metal/hard rock distortion effect. On/Off switch: Turn on or turn off the pedal. The LED indicates the pedal state. Crunch knob: Set the amount of saturation applied to the input signal. Level knob: Set the output level. Tone knob: Set the tonal color. High values are brighter.
	Tube Burner emulates a vacuum tube-based distortion that provides a wide palette of sounds, ranging from warm grain to crispy overdrive. On/Off switch: Turn on or turn off the pedal. The LED indicates the pedal state. Fat switch: Set at the top position to enhance low frequency content in the signal. Low knob: Set the low frequency gain. Mid Freq knob: Set the center frequency. Mid Gain knob: Set the level of the range between the Low and High knob values. High knob: Set the high frequency gain. Tone knob: Set the tonal color. High values are harsher. Bias knob: Adjust to add or avoid crossover distortion. Squash knob: Set the threshold for the internal compression circuit. Drive knob: Set the amount of saturation applied to the signal pre-output. Output knob: Set the output level.
	Vintage Drive is an overdrive effect that emulates the distortion produced by a field-effect transistor (FET), commonly used in solid-state amplifiers. When saturated, FETs generate a warmer-sounding distortion than bipolar transistors, such as those emulated by Grinder. On/Off switch: Turn on or turn off the pedal. The LED indicates the pedal state. Tone knob: Set the tonal color. High values are harsher. Drive knob: Set the amount of saturation applied to the input signal. Level knob: Set the output level. Fat switch: Set at the top position to enhance low frequency content in the signal. LED color indicates the switch state.
