What is Distortion?


1.

An effect used it many rock songs (Think Nirvana) that makes a guitar sound loud, gritty, and much more 'heavy hitting'

In 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' the opening riff is played clean twice then distortion kicks in.

2.

A sound that is not part of the original signal. Distortion can be a modification of the original signal (intermodulation distortion), or generating new signals that result from the interference of a combination of signals (harmonic distortion). Can be characterized as a roughness, fuzziness, harshness, or stridency in the music. There are many distortions that can be measured: IM (intermodulation distortion), harmonic distortion, and TIM (transient intermediation distortion).

Distortion can cause breakup, where the headphone can’t handle the power or the low frequencies, which causes sound to crack up.
