I'm guessing it's not absolutely 100% accurate, but I thought this was an interesting article on the history of guitar sounds/effects, from The Atlantic:

Decent article for those uninitiated. I like the definition of "clipping". Apparently we've been doing it wrong!

I thought that was known as "putting a freakin hole in your speaker." lol

I'm going to start attaching a speaker to my opamp feedback loop for some good ol clipping.

Instead of building another fuzz now I know that all I really need to do is drop my amp out of a car.

Not just any car either. It has to be a '48 Merc or there's no mojo! And folks are going to have to make stronger card tables!

I dunno, _I Dream Of Wires_ had some insightful stuff as regards to guitar players and what will sell.
