How do you add distortion in electric guitars?

In: Consumer Electronics, Guitars [Edit categories]

Answer:

your amplifier should have a switch for 'gain' or 'overdrive' switch... and usually knob for either and knobs for treble and bass.... if you switch the overdrive on and then muck around with the knobs until you find a sound you are happy with. also put use your back pick up cause it will sound weird otherwise
