Purpose
//What is the fundamental purpose of the device? The purpose of distortion on a guitar amplifier is to create different sound wave motion on a guitar and that will make the different in the sound you hear coming out of the amplifier.//

Energy
//What energy transformations are seen in its operation?// //The sound wave motions' current gets changed since electricity is now getting involved//

Controls
//What sensors/controls are designed into the device?// //There is a nob on the amplifier that says gain. Gain would either increase or decrease the amount of distortion that will come out of the amplifier.//

Materials
//What material(s) are essential to the device? You definitely need a guitar and an amplifier. Then you can choose whether or not you get a cable or a guitar wireless system. A cable connects to the guitar which will also connect to the amplifier and a guitar wireless system does the same thing, but it does it wirelessly.// = =

Science
//What scientific principle is central to its operation?// //Sound waves move through the air. The taller the waves are, the higher pitch the sound will be.//

Design
//What does a typical device look like?//

Evolution
//What changes have there been (or could there be) in this device?// //The sound waves just take different shapes and forms. So the waves could get taller, wider, have curve, corners,//

Competitors
//What other devices serve a similar purpose? There are distortion guitar pedals which generally make the same noise. Guitar pedals overall make more sounds than just am amplifier because there are so many types and you are able to mix and match many guitar pedals so that you can receive the exact sound you desire.//

Partners
//What other devices work in conjunction with this device? An amplifier, and cable or a wireless system is needed. Some amplifiers are powered by batteries, but most are plugged into an outlet.//

Siblings
//What other devices use the same scientific principle?// //There are a few different types of distortion such as metal and heavy metal which have the same thing happen to it.//
