Today, effects pedals such as those that Mayer still makes can produce such overdriven tones at lower volumes, but, as he points out, only certain types of distortion actually sound good. “The golden rule, basically is, if you modify a wave form in such a way that the harmonics and the end result do not obey natural laws that occur in nature, it’s not going to sound very good … A series of odd harmonics is not as musical as the even harmonics are. It sounds discordant.”

What happened when amplifiers were pushed into overdrive was that the signals would become “clipped”: that is, their highs and lows would disappear. This resulted in a compressed tone laden with harmonics. “All [musicians] would do was turn the amplifier up as loud as they could,” says Roger Mayer, a pioneer in creating distorted tones in the 1960s. “The amplified sound produced quite a musical type of distortion.”I think there will always be universal players … who can look at the form of the instrument and go, ‘Oh, I love you just the way you are’. But I think there’s always going to be a group of leading-edge consumers who are going to want betterment and something new.” Ruymar, Ruymar (1996).

This is really it,” said Keith Richards in an interview from the early 2000s, acoustic guitar in hand. “I mean, all they did was put a phone in it!” After a raspy guffaw came a proviso: “But it was the right phone at the right time … ” Acoustic guitars were used for both country and big band music, but it was particularly in the case of the latter that they posed a problem. Simply put, they weren’t loud enough to be clearly heard above the other myriad instruments. Perez, Fernando (2016). The Complete Acoustic Lap Steel Guitar Method. Mel Bay. p.4. ISBN 9781619115965 .
