Distortion
Distortion and overdrive pedals were designed to give your guitar tone gain before it reaches your
amp� Many heavily distorted pedals such as the DigiTech Grunge
TM
were designed to provide most
or all of the gain and run through a cleaner amp� Overdrives are great for boosting the gain of your
guitar sound and driving an already distorted amp, giving your total tone more gain and a heavier feel�
Overdrives used with clean amps provide a bluesy tone� The following provides a description of the
distortion models available in the RP and their associated parameters�
