TWANG Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 yah. there's a lot of variety.. different wave shapes, different ways to get there. Overdrive is usually just a bit of dirt.. and distortion is a heap of it.. but still two different things, not just different amounts. solid state, different components for different flavors.. varys a lot from preamp or power tube overdrive and distortion. and that's just the beginning.
