About
Distortion is the sound of rock and metal — that thick, overdriven crunch that gives electric guitar its aggressive edge. From the accidental discovery of a slashed speaker cone in the 1950s to the walls of Marshall stacks at stadium shows, distorted guitar has been the backbone of some of the most powerful music ever made. Our virtual distorted guitar lets you tap into that raw energy directly in your browser.
Click anywhere on the fretboard to hear heavy, crunchy tones that respond instantly. The interactive layout shows every note position across the neck, so you can experiment with power chords, riffs, and lead lines. Animated strings add a visual dimension as you play, and pre-loaded songs let you hear classic melodies reimagined through a wall of distortion.
Whether you're into the classic crunch of AC/DC, the high-gain shred of 80s metal, or the low-tuned heaviness of modern rock, distortion is what gives the guitar its most iconic voice. This free online tool lets you explore that sound without needing an amp, pedals, or even a real guitar — just click and play.
