Hi everyone,
I've created an interactive website to help you understand distortion in music production: https://distortion-explained-languages-166672713871.us-west1.run.app
I would be delighted if you would pay it a visit. Feel free to leave feedback and feature requests!
Best regards!

Very nice! I love the detailed explanations, especially of each Plugin Simulation.
I now have a better feel for what "bias" is doing. I've previously noticed how almost any distortion, when pushed hard enough, turns the original waveform into a square wave. But what this explainer showed me is Bias in a way acts like Pulse Width for that square wave.
My only request would be to be able to hear it as well as see it, though I can imagine with all of those different plugin simulations that's no simple task.

Thank you Joe! I'm really glad you tried the app. The app helped me realize why I like the sound of tape distortion more than tube distortion (the softer "knee"). I will add an audio function in the future. 😀
