guitar distortion


Question Posted Sunday December 9 2007, 10:16 pm

How do you add distortion to your guitar? This might be hard to explain if you don't have the samp amplifier as me but it's a fender amp.

Thank youuu

go to guitarcenter.com- they have tons of fuzz and overdrive pedals. it also depends on what kind of fender amp you have- if it's a tube amp, once it gets to a certain point it will distort naturally (this happens when it gets very loud). i'm actually not a fan of distortion at all- it's way more impressive to me when somebody can just plug into an amp and have amazing tone without doing anything... but yes, you can get distortion pedals. there are tons of pedals, and i'd recommend going to a music store and trying them out.

I am assuming you are a beginning guitarist. The simplest way is to purchase a distortion or fuzz pedal. You basically run your guitar cord into the pedal and then into your guitar. The second way isn't exactly a way. Some tube amps come to a breaking point where the sound will distort. It can be a great sound but I cannot say that you can get that sound with your amp. Also some amps will have built in effects. Do you know what Fender amp model you have? It would make it a little easier. It is very possible you cannot get a dirty sound on it. My best friends amp can't get a dirty sound no matter what you do to it.
