Distorted audio can result from turning speakers up too high, causing signal clipping or mechanical damage. Providing too much power from an amp can overdrive speakers, leading to audio distortion ...

I used this property to create a very satisfying ‘true’ valve overdrive effect (most other valves do not behave this way, ...
