Fuzz vs Overdrive vs Distortion Explained

Here I explain the differences between Fuzz, Overdrive, Solid State Distortion and Tube Distortion using an Oscilloscope and Spectrum analyser.
I also demonstrate hard clipping and a square wave form.
While often all of these effects are quite similar in some respects there are differences and hopefully in this video I highlight the differences so there is less confusion about what each effect does.
The pedals used in the demonstration are as follows:
DIY Fuzz Pedal (Fuzz Face Based Circuit)
Maxon OD808
Boss DS-1
DIY Tube Distortion Pedal with 2 x 12AX7EH
Hope this video is helpful.
All the best
Paul
