¿PEDAL DE DISTORSIÓN? ¿CAJA DE EFECTOS? NO ENCUENTRO UNA BUENA TRADUCCIÓN. ¿QUÉ ES "FUZZ BOX"?. APARECE EN ESTE TEXTO, ENTRE OTROS: A fuzz box is essentially a unit designed to increase the instrument's volume, while simultaneously increasing the "overdriven" quality of the tone.

Fuzzbox
A fuzzbox (or fuzz box) is a type of stomp box comprising an amplifier and a clipping circuit, which generates a deliberately distorted version of the input signal. As opposed to other distortion guitar effect pedals, a fuzzbox boosts and clips the signal sufficiently to turn a standard sine wave input in to what is effectively a square wave output. This gives a much more distorted and synthetic sound than a standard distortion or overdrive. Fuzzboxes were the first distortion devices not based on vacuum tubes.
The generated signal is rich in extra harmonics of the input signal, particularly odd harmonics, and will also produce cross-modulation between any non-harmonic components of the input signal, leading to dissonance. For this reason, power chords are often used when using fuzzboxes, to reduce dissonance.
