tsachs Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Has anyone endeavored to create presets that match Logic 9's amp designer models? I don't play guita but I'd love to know what mode;s are being simulated, and even better, to be able to call them up by their original names. Even better if there was a way to make icons with th original model names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addni Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 nothing official but my guess would be (by the looks): Tweed combos: Peavey classic Blackface black and brownface: Fender blackface and fender brownface blues blaster: fender bluesmaster Vintage british: old marshall modern british: modern marshall (jcm800 or jcm2000) brown stack: some marshall british blues: definetely a marshall modern american: Mesa rectifier hmm, not sure about studio combo, maybe a HiWatt British combo: VOX, probably AC30 Small British combo: vox, maybe AC15 botuque british: hiwatt ? sunshine stack: definetily orange, not sure what type sunshine combo: orange combo can't really put any ideas on the Stadium stack, reminding me of something tough stadium combo: still not sure, but same brand as the stadium stack boutique retro combo: no idea High octaine stack: not sure, maybe engl ? tubro stack: again not sure, but same brand as high octaine pawnshop combo: again, no idea hope it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cube Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 by the sound, and owning one, i'd say that tweed amps are tweed deluxe and deville from fender.. i used to have a peavey tweed in a rehearsal room and it sounded quite differently.. actually i didn't like it much... i wouldn't bet on it anyway.. great info, btw!!

adamjmusic Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I'm pretty sure High Octane is a Diamond Amplifier. http://diamondamplification.com/ If you ever get to try out the real thing I highly recommend it. I've never heard a high gain amp sound that good. Amazing clarity and low end response.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I'm pretty sure High Octane is a Diamond Amplifier. The Looks are reminiscent of a Diezel amp - look at the logo and the perforated front plate: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael2 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 all is pretty well covered, but I think the pawn shop is a supro or a silvertone. love that amp. I remember reading awhile back that eddie van halen describe his tone as "brown;" so I think it's based on that although I can be wrong (and often am). gotta say, these amps are a huuge improvement on guitar amp pro (which I fould un-useable). have had a lot of fun playing with them.

JETLAG Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 What about Krank for High Octane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsachs Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 krank looks close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Pretty close also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smg Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I'm going to go with Diezel for the High Octane model as well. Especially considering the gasoline allusion in its name. Here are my guesses: Small Tweed: Fender Deluxe Large Tweed: Fender Bassman Mini Tweed: Fender Champ Large Blackface: Fender Super Reverb Large Silverface: Fender Twin Reverb Mini Blackface: Fender Princeton Reverb Small Brownface: Fender Vibroverb Blues Blaster: Fender Vibrasonic Vintage British: Marshall Plexi Modern British: Marshall JCM Brown Stack: Marshall Plexi w/Variac British Blues: Marshall Bluesbreaker Modern American: Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier Studio Amp: Mesa/Boogie Mark IV British: Vox AC-30 Small British: Vox AC-15 Boutique British: Matchless DC-30 Sunshine Head: Orange OD-120 Small Sunshine: Orange Tiny Terror Stadium Head: Hiwatt DR-103 Stadium Amp: Hiwatt SA-212? Something else more modern? Botique Retro: Divided By 13?? High Octane: Diezel Turbo: Bogner Uberschall? Krank Revolution? Peavy 5150 even? Pawnshop: Silvertone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lohogan Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 The brown is, I believe, a reference to "brown out", in other words, reduced power voltage. I'm pretty sure it's a Marshall Super Lead running on a variac set to about 80 volts - giving early distortion from power supply sag. Eddy Van Halen used a "Brown" setup. I found Guitar Amp Pro quite usable, but the main thing was to reduce the high end. At that point it got a lot creamier. I think one of the main things to do when trying to copy a sound is to A/B the two sounds and adjust the EQ on the copy until you have a match. That's one of the main things to do to get it to sound right. My guitar playing friend tells me that the two systems will respond to the guitar player differently, and there's nothing I can do about that that I know of. I input my guitar sounds off the keyboard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Aurelius Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 An old thread, but in case anyone is still interested, this site attempted to match the amp models to their inspirations: http://logicstudiotraining.com/wiki/index.php/Amp_Designer#Stadium_Stack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
