Vintage B3 global effect controls in Logic Pro for iPad
Vintage B3 features a reverb effect, a three-band EQ, a pedal-controllable wah effect, and a distortion effect that simulates the sound of an overdriven tube amplifier. In addition, the signal can be routed through the Leslie rotor speaker emulation.
The default effect signal flow is as follows: the organ signal runs through the Equalizer, Wah, and Distortion effects. This treated signal is then fed into the Reverb and finally passed to the Leslie Rotor Cabinet.
Effects global parameters
Master FX button: Enable or disable the entire Vintage B3 effects section.
Tip: You can also use the On/Off buttons to independently enable or disable the Reverb, EQ, Wah, and Distortion effects.
FX Chain pop-up menu: Choose the signal flow you require in the Vintage B3 effects section.
EQ-Wah-Dist: This routing is perfect for a classic B3 patch—an equalized organ, plugged into a wah pedal, amplified by an overdriven Leslie.
EQ-Dist-Wah: The sound of the overdrive changes if the input signal is being filtered, either by the EQ or the Wah. Placing the EQ before the Distortion provides further sonic flexibility. Although the output signal of the Distortion effect always contains high frequency content, this content can be suppressed by positioning the Wah as the final effect in the chain.
Wah-Dist-EQ: If you want to create a screaming sound (achieved by distorting the Wah effect output), you can minimize any harshness by choosing this routing.
Dist-EQ-Wah: Choose this routing to suppress the harsh overtones of extreme distortions with two filters.
Dist-Wah-EQ: Choose this routing to control extreme distortions with two filters.
Bypass: Choose to bypass effects.
Effect Bypass pop-up menu: Choose Pedal to bypass effects for the pedal register. If you choose None, the entire output of the organ is processed.
Bypassing the Distortion, Wah, and EQ effects separately for the pedal register avoids suppression of the bass portion of your organ sound by the Wah effect. It also avoids intermodulation artifacts when the Distortion effect is used.
