Features and functionality
-
Logic's amp designer can achieve professional results with dual mono setup using SM57 and Senn 421 mic emulations for better stereo imaging.

Using Phat FX with a bandpass filter and adjusting the reject to 100% can preserve low frequencies while processing the high end.
