→Chunky
==== Chunky ====
Refers to the amount of low-end in the tone. I associate chunk with the ultra-low-end around 100 HZ and punch more around 240 HZ, but many people use the terms interchangeably. Depending on the genre of music and the target guitar tone, it may refer to slightly different things. For example, in heavy metal, chunk is often in reference to how much [[#Squishy|squishy]] low end a palm mute generated, whereas for genres that have only mild distortion on guitars, punch might refer low-end percussiveness on the attack of a note or chord.
==== Clanking ====
Basically just a [[#Grinding|grinding]] distortion but the "clanking" nature is emphasized when the tone is more percussive than [[#Squishy|squishy]].
==== Clipping ====
