Distortion and overdrive are "gain" effects used in amplified music, originally derived from the sound of a saturated vacuum-tube amplifier, though now produced in a variety of ways. The effects adds harmonic and inharmonic overtones to a signal leading to a compressed sound that is often described as "warm" and "dirty" depending on the type and intensity of distortion used. The effects are notably popular with guitar players in blues, rock and heavy metal genres. The terms distortion and overdrive are often used interchangeably: where a distinction is made, "distortion" is used to denote a more extreme version of the effect than "overdrive".
