While there are literally hundreds of audio distortion products on the market, most rely on a relatively few well established approaches to create signal distortion. By and large, these circuits have only seen incremental change and refinement since the 1960s and 1970s. The Soundblox 2 Multiwave Distortion takes an entirely new approach, introducing several truly unique distortion sounds.
