To use the tape delay as a saturation plugin:

1. Set the delay time to 0ms 2. Set wet to 100% and dry to 0%

3. Click the little triangle on the bottom of the window to open up the distortion level slider.

4. Adjust distortion level to taste.A couple of notes to remember. If you are using Logic 8,

whenever you move the plugin or it is re-initialized, the delay time will revert back to the default setting. Another thing I

noticed is that the signal gets more distorted when you move it

in the negative direction. You can also play around with the other settings on the delay plugin to get some crazy sounds.

Check out this clip with the Tape Delay being used as saturation. The first 4 measures are dry and the last 8 have the plugin on it.

There are certain EQ ranges that add specific qualities to guitar sounds. Depending on the type of guitar and style of music, EQ changes can have varying results. Here are some good starting

points for equalizing a guitar. • 100Hz can add a good solid low end. Boost this frequency

sparingly, as a boost here will conflict with the bass guitar (I tend to cut this frequency quite often on guitar).

• 200Hz tends to be the muddy zone for guitar and can make the overall sound of the guitar dull if boosted. A cut at 200Hz can expose the lows and the highs so that the sound has more clarity and low end punch. Cutting this frequency can help a

double coil pickup sound like a single coil pickup. • The frequency range from 250Hz to 350Hz can add punch

and help the blend of a distorted rock sound. • The frequency range from 500 to 600Hz often contains

most of the body and punchy character. • The frequency range from 2.5kHz to about 5kHz adds

edge and definition to most guitar sounds.Boosting 8kHz to around 12kHz makes many guitar sounds shimmer or sparkle. These frequencies can also contain much of the noise from the signal processors so cutting these frequencies slightly can minimize many noise problems from the guitarist’s equipment
