Guitar baloney can be produced by abounding apparatus of the guitar's arresting path, including furnishings pedals, the pre-amplifier, ability amplifier, and speakers. Abounding players use a aggregate of these to access their "signature" tone.
edit Overdrive/distortion pedals

The Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer, a accepted overdrive pedal
Because they are generally advised to accomplish with low voltages (such as 9 volt batteries), overdrive and baloney pedals about use transistors to accomplish distortion. Classic examples cover the Ibanez Tube Screamer and the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff.
To abate exceptionable dissonance, individual addendum and simple ability chords (root, fifth, and octave) are generally acclimated if application fuzzboxes, rather than triads (root, third, and fifth) or four-note chords (root, third, fifth, and seventh).
edit Pre-amplifier distortion
The pre-amplifier area of a guitar amplifier serves to amplify a anemic apparatus arresting to a akin that can drive the ability amplifier. It generally aswell contains chip to appearance the accent of the instrument, including equalization and accretion controls. Generally assorted bottomward gain/clipping stages are active to accomplish distortion. Because the aboriginal basic in a valve amplifier is a valve accretion stage, the achievement akin of the above-mentioned elements of the arresting alternation has a able access on the baloney created by that stage. The achievement akin of the guitar's pickups, the ambience of the guitar's aggregate knob, how harder the strings are plucked, and the use of volume-boosting furnishings pedals can drive this date harder and actualize added distortion.
During the 1980s and 1990s, abounding amps featured a "master volume" control, an adjustable attenuator amid the preamp area and the ability amp. If the preamp is set up to accomplish top baloney levels the adept aggregate can be acclimated to alter a lot of of the consistent arresting abroad from the ability valves, befitting the achievement aggregate at acquiescent levels.
edit Ability amplifier distortion
A brace of 6L6GC ability valves, generally acclimated in American-made amplifiers
Power valves can be overdriven in the aforementioned way that pre-amplifier valves can, but because these valves are advised to achievement added power, the baloney and appearance they add to the guitar's accent is unique. During the 1960s to aboriginal 1970s, baloney was primarily created by overdriving the ability valves. Because they accept become acclimatized to this sound, abounding guitar players favour this blazon of distortion, and appropriately set their amps to best levels in adjustment to drive the ability area hard. Abounding valve-based amplifiers in accepted use accept a push-pull achievement agreement in their ability section, with akin pairs of tubes active the achievement transformer. Ability amplifier baloney is absolutely symmetric, breeding predominantly odd-order harmonics.
Because active the ability valves this harder aswell agency best volume, which can be difficult to administer in a baby recording or call space, abounding solutions accept emerged that in some way alter some of this ability valve achievement from the speakers, acquiesce the amateur to accomplish ability valve baloney after boundless volume. These cover congenital or abstracted ability attenuators and power-supply-based ability attenuation.specify Lower-power valve amps (such as a quarter-watt or less), apostle abreast cabinets, and low-efficiency guitar speakers are aswell acclimated to acclimatized the volume.
Power-valve baloney can aswell be produced in a committed rackmount valve ability amp. A modular rackmount bureaucracy generally involves a rackmount preamp, a rackmount valve ability amp, and a rackmount copy amount to abate the achievement to adapted aggregate levels. Some furnishings pedals internally aftermath power-valve distortion, including an alternative copy amount for use as a power-valve baloney pedal. Such furnishings units can use a preamp valve such as the 12AX7 in a power-valve ambit agreement (as in the Stephenson's Date Hog), or use a accepted ability valve, such as the EL84 (as in the H&K Crunch Adept bunched tabletop unit). However, because these are usually placed afore the pre-amplifier in the arresting chain, they accord to the all-embracing accent in a altered way.
A Absolute Inject arresting can abduction the power-tube baloney complete after the absolute blush of a guitar apostle and microphone. This DI arresting can be attenuated with a miked guitar speaker, with the DI accouterment a added present, immediate, ablaze sound, and the miked guitar apostle accouterment a colored, remote, darker sound. The DI arresting can be acquired from a DI jack on the guitar amp, or from the Line Out jack of a ability attenuator.
