These are the formats that shape consonats and thus they are most

I wonder if it is simply the fact that the distortion gives us a clue that
the equipment is working as hard as it can. I've noticed that Fuzz on a
guitar seems to make it sound louder than a clean signal that is actually
a far higher amplitude. More 'width' seems to outweigh more 'height'.
I think (at least) for distorted guitars its the amount of
high-frequencies
that counts to our ears.
