Distortion
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.
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.
