It's like if you were to say that Metallica is harmful to speakers. A
ridiculous assertion of course. Though you CAN blow speakers playing
Metallica as long as the power content exceeds what the speakers are
capable of safely handling.


There's a major difference in recorded guitar distortion and the
distortion
created by an amp being overdriven beyond it's limits. I'm shocked you
didn't know that already.

This ought to be good. Explain to me the difference between, say, a
square wave recorded in the studio and played back on your stereo and a
sine wave severely clipped by your amplifier such that it resembles a
square wave.

Are you really serious? You think that playing back distorted music that is
made distorted in the studio by the artist is the SAME THING as driving an
amp into clipping?!?!??!

Holy **** you're an idiot.
