    Hey!
    Cool stuff but you don’t need aux to do that. You should check Stereo Delay (in Logic) ;)
    bye

      Using a stereo delay doesn’t create the same sound nor does it provide the same flexibility. You can test it and see for yourself. Certain tones will yield more noticeable results. Thanks very much for watching!

    Great tip! Would you use this mostly for a lead solo or does it apply to a thick rhythm track as well?

      Sorry for the late reply! Used creatively it could be used to thicken a rhythm track, but you might find that good old fashioned doubling is better. If you were riffing Van Halen style (rhythm and lead in one) then you would do good using this method. Thanks for watching!

    Great tut! Thanx Jonathan!
    One question: I have Logic Pro 9.1.8, but I cannot find this great guitar you are using: Seventies Metal…!? Where do I find it? Which version of Logic do you have? Any extra sound extensions?

      Sorry for the late reply! You are using the same Logic version as I am. When you create a new audio track, you should be able to click the “Setting” button at the top of the channel strip. You need to make sure you have “Media” highlighted in the upper right corner to find all the presets. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
