I FOUND the BEST Logic Pro X Amp Model.

- After what feels like months of searching, i've found the best logic pro x amp model. So, I thought i'd make this video to save you all countless hours of aimless tweaking and frustration!
Logic Pro X is my DAW of choice and with modelling software being increasingly popular due to the demand for at-home recording solutions and being able to play guitar silently, it's often a costly thing to get into. I was convinced that there had to be a free solution inside Logic Pro X and thankfully there is!
Like a lot of guitarists, I love using pedals so I typically look for amps with a great clean tone that takes pedals well. That's always been difficulty with the Logic Pro X amp models - a lot of them HATE overdrive/distortion pedals.
So, if like me, you're looking for a good blank canvas to experiment with in terms of pedals and tones then the Boutique Retro Clean amp model will be the one for you.
In this video I take this stock amp model, and using the plugins available free of charge in Logic, show you how to make it even better and really get the most out of it.

Thanks for watching guys!! Have fun with this! 🎸
Actually the real amp model that the sim is based on, is Silvertone 1484 Twin Twelve. Thanks for the video! It really is a great amp sim for that kind of stuff.
Thanks for the heads up! Glad you enjoyed the video man! 🙏🏻
came here to say this haha. its always been the one i lean towards
It literally says a Retro take on multiple modern Boutique combos.
It takes its design from Kustom’s Sparkling Blue combos.
Either way, I want an amp that looks like that. Almost got a used Red Kustom combo for the look, but I wasn’t ever gonna use it. Not exactly a tone monster.
I was searching that tone in logic for years!! Good job!!
Thanks man, appreciate you sharing your time and research, lovely tone, about to try this.
Thank you. This was a very helpful video. I learned where these hidden amps are and found the one I was looking for all along! That’s the tone I needed.
Ah thanks Mark! Really glad you found that helpful! 🙏🏻 really appreciate you watching man!
Really nice playing here mate, stumbled across this video after doing some DI stuff today, will defo be checking out this amp sim!
Ah thanks mate! Really appreciate it 😁
love the tone! thanks for making this video, was extremely helpful :)
Thanks for watching! Really glad you liked the tone 👍🏻
Thanks for this Chris. That isn't bad. I generally use Guitar Rig but am always looking for more clean tones. Crunchy are the hardest to find.
Great video and awesome playing as well! I started using the boutique retro clean amp because of this and you're right it sounds pretty good. That backing track is nice as hell. Is it available on youtube someplace?
This was just great, great, great, Chris! Thanks man 😀
Thank you buddy! So glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻
You are awesome to the core Thank you so much for this beautiful video Looking forward for more keep'm coming please You're fantastic
Thanks for addressing the external pedalboard point - have really struggled to get a logic some to do my board justice in the same way as a real amp does. Looking forward to trying this
Your playing is very smooth and melodious ❤️👌
Thanks for the kind words mate! Appreciate you watching 🙏🏻🙂
really enjoy this tone! thanks :)
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the kind words buddy 🙏🏻
Thanks for this! Maybe you could do another similar video with your top 5 favourite amps or something? Im looking for more options as im on a budget and unfortunately only have logic to work with as far as pedals and amps. Not sure if you play bass but that would be great too! Many thanks.
This is GREAT man!!
Thanks Mike!
Thank for sharing man. Has a lot of John Mayer vibes very smooth sound.
You’re a godsend! Thank you
The trick for me is to use my Taurus Servo & EP Boost. Was using the AC15, but with the Servo on, I’ve been getting a great sound from the Orange and the Mini Black Fender. Gonna have to try the Boutique out.
If I had to pick any pedal in the world for recording it would be the Servo (now Servo 2). I barely have to touch my guitars post production. Tumnus is great as well.
You deserve more subscriber!
Thank you! 🙏🏻😊
quick question: how did you record your guitar internally with the Logic Pro amps? also it sounds great, keep up the good work!
Hey Chris athis video helped a lot!! also tried pugging in my Wampler Tumnus into my DI through the input, but for some reason it provides no sound into logic, any pointers?
Thanks man.. really helpful !
Thanks for watching buddy! Really appreciate it 🙏🏻
Thanks Chris - really good tone and playing - you mentioned about taking normal pedals and using them straight into the audio interface - is that correct? Could you maybe demo this in another video sometime? Especially keen on how you would use Overdrive and or Fuzz into the interface and then through the digital amp etc.
Thanks so much for the comment! I can definitely do a video about this 👍🏻
Very helpful! thank you
Thanks so much for watching 👌🏻
great video, putting me on game
Thank you Chris. I have been looking at amp sim pedals and plugins that would sound like my '71 Fender Silverface Pro Reverb and this captures that sound.
No problem man! I’m really glad you enjoy this one and you’re getting some good tones out of it! 👌🏻 definitely does that scoopy fender clean tone well! Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment buddy!
I also stumbled upon an interesting device called a Triton BigAmp which is used as a portable DI. I'll report back on the results. Thanks for a great channel!@@ChrisHarveyGuitar
Does anyone know how exactly to get to this plug-in, I tried looking it up but couldn't find any help! Also loved the video man!
Thank you excellent video 👍🏼
Thank you for watching! Appreciate the support 🙏🏻
Thank you
Logic amps are currently giving me headaches. Will def try this set up. Thx!
Nice video
Thanks a lot my man✊🏾
No problem! Thanks for watching man!
good find Chris
Thanks Ben! Really glad you think so!
This amp has been my secret sauce for the past 7 years almost sounds sooo good. Used it on multiple recordings ! Most of the time I pick it over a real amp and definitely over the helix! This amp sound amazing with the gain cranked
what logic stock guitar setting do you start with? Brit Clean? i.e what logic pedals are involved?
Killer stuff, thanks for this! I haven't purchased Logic yet, but I'm planning to. I was looking around to see how guitarists were getting along with it and came across your video. I had no idea you could use normal pedals in the signal chain! When doing this, do you need to do anything in particular, beyond just plugging into them normally, then going last into the audio interface instead of an actual amp?
Also, just curious what audio interface do you use? Any in particular that you would suggest for using with Logic Pro?
Great playing and tones! Thanks again!
Thanks for watching and for the kind words! Absolutely, just run your pedalboard normally but rather than plugging into your amp just go straight into your interface by DI. I use the Audient iD14 which works well. Has xlr and jack inputs which makes it really versatile but I think any 2 in 2 out usb interface would be fine! The focusrite scarlet stuff is great, Audient are great. Both will allow you to go straight in with a jack, basically a built in DI box
@@ChrisHarveyGuitar Do you happen to have any recommendations on monitoring headphones to go with an ID14 and Logic? Maybe $100-$150 range?
Thanks!
GarageBand has the same amp. It’s so funny coming across this now because that was the only amp sim I used in GarageBand and when I got Logic ProX I continued to use it. I straight up used this sim because it was the closest thing to my actual rig which is a Mesa Boogie TA-15 set to the AC30 top boost voicing. Go figure🤷♂️
I use waves CLA plugins. They really sound great
Thanks for starting with sweet, Cool, CLEAN sound…
Most guitar centric content creators seems go for the most fuzzed out, overdriven sound they can find…
thanks for the kind words man and thanks for watching! I find a good clean sound is so important - it’s the foundation of all overdriven/fuzz tones for me! 👌🏻
Vox in logic sounds great
That tone was really good. Any idea if we can get that with just pedals and amp?
Thanks! I love the tone too! You could definitely get close with pedals and an amp! I’d say you’d need a fender style (6l6 or 6v6 style amp). Nice and clean with some nice compression you’d get close
Is there a blues setup too?
Chris; the expander plugin you show is definitely the logic expander, which is the opposite of a compressor. Why would you use that immediately before a compressor? If you mean the stereo spreader (listening to what you say suggests you do mean that), then the plugin stack you show doesn't include that. Which did you actually use?
You took the words right out of my mouth.
thanks for posting this ....I too wound up using the Boutique amp model and even the "Pawn Shop"....the "Marshalls" were horrific, absolutely awful sounding as I do own a hand-wired JTM 45 for comparison
Thanks for this, and really sweet playing. Mind sharing which audio interface you were using here - didn’t know one could connect guitar pedals directly to an interface. Also, would you recommend using a multi fx in the same way.
Sure! I was using an Audient iD14. It has a DI input which will enable you to run guitars and pedals as you normally would going into an amp. You’ll find a lot of affordable interfaces such as the Audient allow you to plug straight in with a Jack lead these days. The focusrite interfaces also give you this functionality and are great!
@@ChrisHarveyGuitar Actually i was wondering whether you were using some kind of multi-fx pedal or analogue pedals directly into the interface.
@@accentontheoff I was running my pedalboard with the trex Alberta in parts and I believe the Strymon flint reverb was on throughout

@@ChrisHarveyGuitar Got it thanks! :)
BOUTIQUE RETRO CLEAN
Expander to get stereo width? Are you sure?? Maybe you meant the Stereo Spread plugin?
Ah maybe! Apologies and thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
Ok, this one does sound good. But, I've just been using the free Amplitibe/Tonex stuff for the amps into Logic Pro's stock cabinets.
Amplitube has good amps but bad cab IRs. Logic has bad amps but very good cab IRs. Put them together, and you're cooking.
The one overdrive pedal I’m actually using…the Wampler Tumnus.
What are the chances of a random YT vid being so specific.😅🤘🏻
did you try just using the pedal sim in Logic Pro?
Thanks for watching, Happy New Year! I've tried some of the pedalboard modules and some of the effects are cool but I much prefer the sound of plugging in physical pedals into the signal chain going into Logic.
@@ChrisHarveyGuitar gotcha thanks, HNY 🥳
where do you find this
Around 2 minutes in I show you where to find it 👍🏻
Shocker, I don't have it in my list. Has its name changed?
I love this plugin amp too - some say that it's based on a Silvertone Twin Twelve. I have most of the guitar amp plugins and I actually find the built in Logic ones are pretty good - they let the natural sound of your guitar come through where as some of the other ones make all the guitars sound the same - especially with higher gain settings. The Mesa Strategy 400 bass amp in Logic sounds really good.
Thanks for watching Paul! And thanks for leaving a comment! Glad to hear you’ve had some good experiences with the Logic amp models! I think it’s important that people know that good tone is achievable out of the box! Granted, I don’t have a load of experience with digital amp modelling but I definitely think these logic amps can hold their own - especially if you use pedals in your signal chain to further sculpt the tone!
Well, "a lot of the logic stock amps are not good" is actually wrong, they are good. No one amp suits your guitar perfectly for all playing styles and sounds. You won't enjoy a vox amp if you want full sound with more bass out of the relatively thinner trebly fender strat guitar pickups. But then U2's guitarist would create his early famous sound using this exact combination. It's you to choose what to use for yourself. If you took your guitar and played these amps in real in a music store, you wouldn't like all the amps either. I find the logic amps and cabinets and the logic pedal effects quite satisfying. Especially if you have good audio monitors.
If you tried the real amps in the shop you would know why Logic's amps are so poor.Any real amp ,Marshall, Fender , Vox etc is brilliant.
Logic should re - do them so they are as good as other companies' efforts.So you don't have to add any extras to help them sound half-acceptable.
What would be better is if Logic starts again and uses its power to give you 5 or 6 potent amps.
@@StratsRUs the blackface in Logic is better than a lot of third parties. Especially for funk cleans.
All the high gain amps sound absolutely awful. Wth some added plugins you can make them sound a little decent but overall they're rather useless. Apple really needs to step up and move into 2024 with their amp sims
well, no
excellent!!
Thank you buddy 🙏🏻
