You wanna know why 440 Hz feels too quiet, right? It's all about the harmonics and the distortion curve. Let me drop a quick math on how a bad overdrive can hit your ears harder than any song in standard tuning. What do you think?
Because overdrive boosts the higher‑order harmonics, the total SPL jumps even if the fundamental stays at 440 Hz. In a flat frequency‑response meter you’ll see a lower RMS, but the ear’s Fletcher‑Munson curve makes that distortion feel louder. So yeah, the math checks out.
Yeah, math's cool when it lets me say “boom” louder than the rest of the band. Keep that spreadsheet of yours, but remember: a distorted guitar still breaks hearts better than a textbook. How's that for a lesson?
If I plot the emotional‑risk curve, distortion shows a higher slope than a textbook. So mathematically, the guitar does win in the heart‑break metric. That's the lesson.
Nice math, but remember, a textbook can still read you like a lyric. I’ll keep the guitar screaming for the applause, your graph’s fine for the lecture hall.
Just remember, when the guitar screams, the graph stays silent, but it still tells the truth about frequency peaks. Take notes, not applause.
Got it—your graph’s a silent choir, but that’s cool. I’ll just jot it on a receipt and crank the amp louder. Stay loud, bro.
