Overdrive in Logic Pro for iPad

Overdrive emulates the distortion produced by a field effect transistor (FET), commonly used in solid-state musical instrument amplifiers and hardware effects devices. When saturated, FETs generate a warmer-sounding distortion than bipolar transistors, such as those emulated by the Distortion effect.

To add Overdrive to your project, choose Distortion > Overdrive in a channel strip Audio Effect plug-in menu or the Plug-ins area. 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.

Overdrive parameters

  •  Drive knob and field: Set the saturation amount for the simulated FET transistor.

  •  Tone knob and field: Set the frequency of the high cut filter. Filtering the harmonically rich distorted signal produces a softer tone.

  • Output knob and field: Set the output level.

  • Level Compensation button: Turn on to reference the overall processing of the signal to 0 dB. This compensates for increases in loudness caused by using overdrive.
