8. y related with the fundamental frequency The signal also contains very complex natural phase shifting and relationship of all its components In addition the guitar signal has more than 80dB of dynamic range which makes our task to overdrive distort such signal even harder Using any of the popular methods of direct distorting such as Op Amps Germanium transistors Diodes Digital signal processing etc results in the loss of the natural and complex signal components their time relations phase shifting and dynamics Some of these methods result in a loss of up to 90 of the original guitar signal masking the original tone of your guitar This is why some overdrive distortion pedals sound muddy making a guitar with great tone sound like a guitar with completely damaged tone With the new MAMP design all signal components are presented in the overdriven distorted output The result is an overdriven distorted output signal that contains the original harmonic components from the instrument with their natural dynamics time relation and phase shifting You hear the tone of the guitar not a distorted generic tone The overdrive responds dynamically to your input signal pick softer and or turn your guitar volume down and the tone will clean up play more aggressive and or increase guitar volume and the pedal will respond by distorting more Because the MAMP design also keeps all of the components of your original signal harmon
