About Distortion HK

Have you ever wondered how Distortion HK got its name? Let's delve into the fascinating world of guitar distortion and the inspiration behind it.

What is the Origin of Guitar Distortion?

Distortion HK draws its name from the sound effect, distortion. Created by electric guitars when the gain of the input signal is boosted to the point of overload. This effect was discovered through experimentation, with guitar players in the late 1940s pushing the limits of their tube amps to achieve a unique distorted sound.

How Did Guitarists Discover Distortion?

As pioneers of musical experimentation, guitarists noticed that turning up the volume on their tube amps resulted in a distorted, gritty sound that added a new dimension to their music. This accidental discovery paved the way for the development of guitar distortion as a deliberate effect in modern music.
