A low amount will produce a soft distortion effect which can be used to add warmth to a sound similar to an analog tube amp and a high amount can be used to create a much more distorted sound.

And if it's all the way to wet that's going to be only the distorted signal. So let's check out these distortion types and I also have an oscilloscope here so you can see how it's kind of affecting our waveforms. So I'm gonna turn on a sine wave for now the filter's disabled so it's the pure sine and we're gonna…
