Follow It Home Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Can someone just tell me the basic differences between overdrive and distortion. I really just cant figure it out.
Steven Lister Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Quantatative. Distortion is overdrive..., just more of it. Try the definitions at these links: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Overdrive_(music) www.musiciansfriend.com/document?doc_id=81018&src=3SOSWXXB Hit every BLUE NOTE baaaby..., I'm going to play on:-"
TWANG Posted September 21, 2008 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.
