Distortion effect in Logic Pro for iPad
The Distortion effect simulates the low fidelity distortion generated by a bipolar transistor. You can use it to simulate playing a musical instrument through a highly overdriven amplifier or to create unique distorted sounds.
To add Distortion to your project, choose Distortion > Distortion 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.

Distortion parameters
Drive knob and field: Set the amount of saturation applied to the signal.
Tone knob and field: Set the frequency for 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 adding distortion.
