I'm only a hobbyist, using certain "clean-up" tools like that rarely, so I welcome correction from people who actually know what they're doing. I do know that some of these functions can actually generate other artifacts as they do what you want them to do. Maybe that's happening here. So it's a trade-off as to what you'll accept as the best result. 

It may be worth your time to tweak each of the controls, one at a time, to hear the difference. (I don't have time to open Logic here at the office, but it should have some combination of variables like threshold, depth of effect, frequency range, etc.)

HTH,
