1Distortion — This article is about technology, especially electrical engineering. For other uses, see Distortion (disambiguation). Distort redirects here. For other uses, see Distort (disambiguation). A distortion is the alteration of the original shape (or… …
2Distortion (music) — Fuzzbox redirects here. For other uses, see Fuzzbox (disambiguation). Distortion (music) Boss distortion pedal Notes A well used Turbo Distortion guitar effect pedal made by Boss Distortion effects create warm , dirty and fuzzy sounds by… …
3Pinch harmonic — A pinch harmonic, also known as a squealie or squealer is a guitar technique (typically electric guitar) pioneered by Roy Buchanan in which the player s thumb or index finger slightly catches the string after it is picked, cancelling the… …
4Quantum harmonic oscillator — The quantum harmonic oscillator is the quantum mechanical analogue of the classical harmonic oscillator. It is one of the most important model systems in quantum mechanics because an arbitrary potential can be approximated as a harmonic potential …
5Electronic amplifier — A practical amplifier circuit An electronic amplifier is a device for increasing the power of a signal. It does this by taking energy from a power supply and controlling the output to match the input signal shape but with a larger amplitude. In… …
6Tube sound — (or valve sound) is the characteristic sound associated with a vacuum tube based audio amplifiers. Some audiophiles prefer the sound that is produced by the distortion characteristics of tube based amplifiers. The audible significance of tube… …
7Power factor — For other uses, see Power factor (pistol). The power factor of an AC electric power system is defined as the ratio of the real power flowing to the load over the apparent power in the circuit,[1][2] and is a dimensionless number between 0 and 1… …
8Guitar effects — are electronic devices that modify the tone, pitch, or sound of an electric guitar, or condition or reroute the signal in some fashion. Effects can be housed in small effects pedals ( stomp boxes ), guitar amplifiers, guitar amplifier simulation… …
9Intermodulation — A frequency spectrum plot showing intermodulation between two injected signals at 270 and 275 MHz (the large spikes). Visible intermodulation products are seen as small spurs at 280 MHz and 265 MHz. Intermodulation or intermodulation distortion… …
