Question
Guitar software?
Answer
Distortion is an important part of an electric guitar's sound in many genres, particularly for rock, hard rock, and metal. A distortion pedal takes a normal electric guitar signal and distorts the signal's waveform by "clipping" the signal. There are several different types of distortion effects, each with distinct sonic characteristics. These include regular distortion, overdrive (or vacuum tube-style distortion), and "fuzz".
