I've been reading that it's possible to generate distortion on an old tape recorder by plugging a guitar into it.
I tried to come up with sort of a modern way of doing that becuz I read in the instruction manual of my Cakewalk Music Creator Pro 2 recording program that if the level hits redline, the sound will distort. Well, I put my mic directly up against the speaker and turned my amp up to full (no drive), hoping to get some sort of effect like the one described.
But no, just a really loud clean with an occasional crackling when played hard.
So does anybody have any ideas of how to come up with a modernized version of the tape recorder trick? Short of plugging the guitar directly into the computer (which would probably be a VERY bad idea), I can't think of anything.
